La Amistad Bakery

This place is very dirty and disgusting! The owners are so rude and they don’t really care about their customers at all! Horrible service hate it honestly the food is good but the owner the lady she’s so rude and the husband as well they do not know how to cater to people. I don’t care how good the food is if the owner is disrespectful and doesn’t treat the customers right than its not a good place the atmosphere is negative in this place.

Authentic and a rare find in the hood. Order any of the baked breads and the Mountain dish. Loved it.

En esta panaderia NUNCA Tienen nada !! Siempre dicen q Se Les acabo Hasta Cuando uno va Bn temprano en la mañana !! It’s Sooo annoying I hate that this is the only COLOMBIAN spot around here

This place appears as a bakery, foremost, but it also features full Colombian continental fare — roast chickens on turnstiles behind the counter for one, which itself has a glass display case full of cookies and pastries and other Colombian food items.
Feeling quite hungry, I wanted a comprehensive platter — and ordered the Bandeja Montañera (Mountaineer’s) for $ 13 over the Bandeja Tipica (Typical, $ 11). Both items on the menu listed similar items — a grilled top round steak I believe, chicarrones or fried pork skin, chorizo sausage, rice, beans, a fried egg, an arequipa corn cake and a sliced avocado. I asked the server what the difference was, and she said that it was simply the quantity. For $ 2 more I figured I’d get a better value.
I had Colombian food before and this was nothing to complain about at all. The steak is a thin and slightly tough cut, but that’s to be expected in a Colombian Bandeja Tipica, and was still flavorful. The rice and beans were savory, and the chicharron, if one can pardon the sinfulness of deep-​fried crispy pork skin with the fat on, was to die for. It was crunchy, crispy, and very satisfying. The chorizo was just spicy enough — not overwhelmingly spicy like other Italian or Spanish sausages are — it was soft and one could tell the complete chunks of meat in there. The arepa was a bit tough and dry, but again, that’s what I expected in a bandeja tipica. The avocado was just like a fresh decent avocado should be. I could not finish this dish and took nearly half of it home for my dinner.
Service was friendly. The place is small, modest and clean, it feels like a little family bakery with a few tables.

Not much latin food in this area. When I am craving it, this is where me and my coworkers would come. Food portions are HUGE and the price is sooo decent.

Recently discovered this gem in the middle of the Asian metropolis neighborhood in which I sadly live. I was thrilled that they deliver & accept credit cards too! The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! Money well spent! Had food for 2 meals! The ‘mini bandeja’ isn’t so mini, not that I’m complaining. The carne asada was juicy & cooked to perfection. I got empanadas & pan de bono just to try them… so YUMMY & flavorful! Definitely ordering from here again soon, wish I had asked for a takeout menu with my delivery. Delivery by the way was prompt!

Great Colombian Food, but not in the heart of Jackson Heights

I came here for the lunch special.
I believe it was $ 7 for steak or chicken leg with potato salad, salad, and soup.
The chicken soup was decent, nothing rememberable though. The steak I ordered was thin and lifeless; in fact I could barely choke it down. Potato salad had odd chunks of hot dogs in there. And the salad, well I barely remember it.
It seems to be the only Spanish place in the area, so I guess they win some points here. I really was hoping for the food to be good… too bad

Tiny café-​style Latin bakery, just off Northern Boulevard. Aside from pastries/​breads, they also serve Latin entrees, plus a bunch of candies, snacks and drinks that I’m assuming are pretty well known to people who speak better Spanish than me.
Looks like they have a strong customer base from the Latin American community nearby. You’ll see groups sitting with cleared plates, women getting entire family dinners in takeout, loners with a newspaper and an avocado salad. Plus the Asian girl and her whitey boyfriend, munching on pan de queso–
–which, by the way, was really good. I’ve had a few pastries La Amistad and the one that really impressed was the pan de queso. $ 1.25, cheese baked right into the bread and a nice floury crust outside. Yum!
