Makondo

The only good thing are the EMPANADAS. The HOSTES sees us walk in and says JUST GO TO THE TABLE WITH THE 2 MENUS I LEFT THERE FOR YOU. we sit and waited 15 MINUTES FOR SERVICE, I ordered the empanadas and they were great! I also ordered my food and IT TOOK 45 MINUTES FOR THE FOOD TO COME OUT (I know this because the soccer game was on the second half and over by the time my food came out). THE FOOD WAS COLD AND THE MEAT WAS NOT WELL COOKED. Severely disappointed because I’ve gone to restaurants in the trystate area with less staff and busier croud and got better treatment, better food and quicker SERVICE. Take pride in what you serve and the SERVICE you provide! P. S. it would be nice if the management and owner would pay more attention to his patrons and not just keeping the front display case full and ask his staff to come in earlier and not at 12:05 on mother’s day on a Sunday to work. That might have helped the two waiters who struggled the entire time.

I passed by for lunch around 3pm on a Thursday and it was not packed and service was quick and polite. I ordered the special which is soup of the day (nice portion) and it comes with rice salad and grilled steak or chicken. I have to say for $ 10.50 it was delicious the soup had so much flavor and it tastes homemade. I also orders the bandeja paisa to go and the portion was large and very tasty only complain was the beans didn’t really ha e good floor but besides that my daughter enjoyed her food. I would go again and try another dish. Parking was easy and a lot of it.

First time was a good time. I’ll for sure be back for their killer lunch special! Speaking Spanish for sure helps however the servers do speak English so that’s a plus!
Atmosphere was nice, loving the salsa music playing through the restaurant and the food was awesome!
Since I was there for their lunch special I got my self some grilled steak, rice, beans and fried plantain! It was MORE than enough for lunch time. With a refreshing glass home mango juice, I was very much a happy camper.
For sure recommend this place for anyone looking for a good bite.

For years we have been making the trek from Westchester to Queens to find the best Colombian food in NY, but no longer. Makondo has got to be the best Colombian food by far. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa and everything was cooked perfectly. If you love Latin food you must give this place a try.

The waitress staff is great when dining in. I went there for takeout about 6 times and was disappointed. The lady in the front is extremely stingy with the pink sauce. She gets an attitude when you ask for another little cup. I avoid going back because of her lack of customer service and facial expressions.

Food was amazing!!! The live music was great and the place has a great atmosphere. Very comfortable and the staff is very accommodating. The appertizers are a meal within itself. If you love colombian food you gotta check it out. The live music is a bonus.

Pretty good. Clean– décor good.
Spoke Spanglish with a staff member–
Calentado is good. I had mine with chicken (yes chicken) it was good.
Batido good, coffee good. Overall good.

Amazing food!!! Came here for lunch for my daughter and was not disappointed at all. All of the food is affordable already so the lunch special is out of this world! Service was outstanding too. There was no language barrier here that I find at a lot of other restaurants in port Chester. I can’t attest to authentic Colombian flavor but my grilled chicken (that I expected to be plain) was FULL of flavor! Even the rice was comment worthy lol
Overall I’m really impressed with this place. Definitely will be coming back!

Best Colombian food in the area! I’m so glad this place opened up! It saves me a trip to Queens for good Colombian food. The food is fresh and the service is great.
