Awesome good and service!! Highly recommend the corn pancakes!! Everything was good including the live, soft music!!

I've had this place on my list for awhile. Finally checked it out this a.m. Met my friend for lunch for our endless tour around the cities to find different places. Entrance is very odd. There are three doors basically to access the restaurant, but all closed- you have to walk through the buildings main entrance to finally get in. Restaurant is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Food ordered: Columbian breakfast- fried egg, pinto beans and rice, chorizo link and an arepa. The arepa was very dry. The beans and rice were good and th red sauce was amazing. Ordered some strawberry pancakes to go which were okay. Nothing to write home about. My friend said her breakfast was good. A little pricey for breakfast, but glad we tried it.

Soooooo good y'all! Corn Pancakes & French Toast Try the hot chocolate!!!! I will be back.

Decent Columbian breakfast spot in Minneapolis. Came in early and was seated in a minute. The service was attentive and nice. The ambience is very much like an old school diner bar and enjoyed the quiet morning. Ordered the Huevos Pericos and thought it was good. Might be a bit overcooked considering how dry the eggs were but not enough to say it was bad. Overall, rating well because the service and ambience was good.

Rating solely on the food itself. We came to Minneapolis for a staff retreat and my coworkers decided to eat here and bring me back some corn pancakes. When I say this has got to be one of the best pancakes I've EVER had in my life, I meant it. Think of it as a very rich cornbread but in pancake form. The flavors were intense and I inhaled the huge pancake in two seconds! It came with Cotija cheese and maple syrup. You have to add both as the cheese cuts the sweetness of the corn and the maple syrup and provides a umami taste. It was hot, fresh, and I am a corn lover and it made my whole day! The corn was so juicy that every time I took a bite, juices came out. I'm home now in Florida and when I tell you that I'm still dreaming about those corn pancakes, I am! I wish we had them here and next time I'm in Minneapolis again, you bet I'm going to go there and order a huge stack of them pancakes!

I love this place!! The fresh fruit pancakes!! I had the raspberry it was perfect! Light fluffy and filled the plate- so delicious! The beef arepa was also excellent- the slow cooked shredded beef had excellent flavor and was tucked into an incredibly light corn arepas with fresh avocado and house made salsa Definitely with the drive!

Yum! This place is amazing! Food is so good, service is friendly, and there's plenty of parking. Coffee is delicious too! I got the chorizo arepa, the salsa was so good! The corn pancake is a must have! Can't wait to go back!

My friend and I had breakfast at Maria's Café on a Saturday morning when we were visiting Minneapolis, and I loved our breakfast there. It's nice inside - we sat at the diner-like bar, because I love a diner-like bar! The service was great. We both had their Calentao con Huevos (Columbian breakfast - rice mixed with pinto beans, served with an egg, Colombian chorizo link, an arepa, and aji colombiano), which was absolutely delicious. The only thing I didn't love about the experience was the espresso I ordered, which I thought was weirdly gritty? But I loved that breakfast plate, the atmosphere, and the service! I would definitely return for that Calentao con Huevos!

Went here for Mother's Day for their brunch. The place is really big in the vibrant lake street area of midtown. They have three rooms for seating and one of the rooms had some live music too. It was really busy but we had a reservation and we were seated right away. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful. They have the standard brunch items plus some Columbian regional specialities being served. The kids ordered mango and strawberry pancakes. We also ordered some eggs and French toast as well as Calentao con Huevos, Paisa Bowl (Bandeja Paisa), Empanadas and Pandequeso (Columbian cheese bread). The food took a while to come but when it arrived, it didn't disappoint. The Columbian dishes were the highlight. The pancakes with the fruit mixed into the batter were also a hit. The French toast was ok. Nothing special. The Columbian cheese bread was a little dry. Everything else tasted very good. We really enjoyed the empanadas. The mimosa was very good as well. You could tell it was made with fresh orange juice. The service, the food, the ambience all made you feel like you are in your aunts kitchen (the nice aunt, not the one that causes a scene at Thanksgiving). Will be visiting them again.
