Cafetomas Kenner

New Orleans may be the city of indulgence, but let me introduce you to a different kind of decadence--Colombian flavors straight from Cafe Tomás in Kenner. This spot didn't just serve me food; it changed me. The Beef Arepa - A crispy, golden-edged marvel, absolutely stuffed with the most tender, juicy shredded beef I've had in a long time. Every bite was a masterpiece of textures--the crunch of the arepa giving way to rich, perfectly seasoned meat. No notes. Absolute perfection. The Beef Burrito - No rice. No beans. No nonsense. Just pure, melt-in-your-mouth shredded beef wrapped in a warm, pillowy tortilla. This was a burrito that didn't need extra--because when the beef is this good, it is the moment. Elote - Oh, but we are not done. This wasn't just corn--it was a full-blown experience. Charred to perfection, smothered in a creamy, tangy, cheesy concoction that had me licking my fingers between bites. A little heat, a little sweetness, and a whole lot of where has this been all my life? Mangonado - And just when I thought I had reached my limit, this drink swooped in like a hero in a tropical paradise. Thick, luscious mango purée swirled with chamoy and the perfect touch of spice--each sip was a sweet-heat rollercoaster that I never wanted to end.Kenner, you've got a gem on your hands. Cafe Tomás is officially a must-visit.

First thing after getting off the plane in New Orleans and of all the things we could have eaten, we decide on a Colombian Cafe. I'm really glad we stumbled on this place. The food was fantastic and it was healthiest food we ate on the whole trip. Another benefit was that it wasn't too busy on a Sunday morning, so they let us chill and play cards for a few hours while waiting for the rest of our friends arrive at the airport.I'm going to start with the arepas. Best arepas I have ever eaten. Usually the flatbread is tough or dry. These were fluffy and not dry at all. Fillings were tender and flavorful. Tried both the chicken and meat - both delicious.Jibarito was a nice contrast to the Arepa. Fried green plantains holding the sandwich together give it some nice crunch + starchiness. Beef was well seasoned.Also had a berry berry smoothie. It had the consistency between a juice and a smoothie. I really liked the taste - definitely get berry flavor and it wasn't too sweet or tart. Very refreshing for a muggy day in Louisiana.If you're in the area or need a pick me up before going to New Orleans from the airport, I would highly recommend stopping by Cafetomas Kenner.

Quaint little cafe that looks good on social media but the food is honestly so mid. The Gallo pinto is not good, the eggs were mixed with too many things, and the avocado was still not quite ripe. The tostones were good tho, I'll be honest. But this is "poor people" food! Its suppose to be easy and to the point; this is just not it. It also took a while for the food to come despite only being the second party at the place. The Jamaica juice was also not amazing. Honestly; they have room for improvement, but they should stick to their roots, it's not meant to be hard recipes at all. Nice service tho.

A MUST TRY! The Arepas were the star of the show!! So so freaking delicious! We ordered an extra 2 because that's how good they were. Of course everything else was good. I recommend you guys order a smoothie of some kind because it's made with fresh fruit and juiced right then and there. I really wanted to try more things but I was just so full. I will most definitely be coming back for more. We had the sweetest lady serving us, she makes you feel at home. All in all the vibes were laid back and chill. Great place to bring friends and family.

Delicious food, friendly service with a great ambiance. Stopped for a to go order for myself and a coworker (who's never had Latin food),and ordered a cortadito while I waited for the food to be made fresh. Exactly what I needed and it was delicious! Food was fresh and flavorful. Absolutely delicious and the house made green sauce took the meal to a next level. My coworker couldn't stop taking about the food either.Nela took my order and she's friendly and kind. Recommending this place to everyone.

I had the chicken arepas and the beef ones. Both were great but I think I like the chicken better overall. The Elotes Loco was great and my cappuccino is gonna keep me going!

I don't eat Columbian food much, but when I do, I make sure to get the best of the best. I highly highly recommend this place!1.

Stoped at Cafetomas on our way back to the New Orleans Airport. The small cafe was a cozy atmosphere with a friendly vibe! We ordered several menu items and were not disappointed with any of it! The Arepas were tasty and the loaded fries were a flavor packed dish! Don't forget to order the sweet plantains! They were delicious!

Great chilaquiles and wonderful service. Understand and relaxing environment. Good place to chill after a stressful airport situation.

The food was delicious and fresh. We had the Jibaritos and they were especially good, and the service was friendly. The ambiance was fitting and appropriately understated.
