The Colombian Spot

5 Stars - An Instant Favorite! We were on our way to get sushi when we walked past The Colombian Spot, checked out the menu, and made a last-minute call to switch plan and I'm so glad we did. The food was incredible and the atmosphere & music was on point! My wife is Colombian, and she said it was the closest to her grandmother's cooking she's had in years, which says a lot.We don't eat out much anymore because quality has gone downhill, but that's definitely not the case here. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care, not to mention just overall outstanding service.. This place shot straight to the top of our Pittsburgh favorites, and we'll be back often. If you're thinking about going, just do it, you won't regret it. We already want to go back!

I crave this all the time. Delicious food. Affordable. Friendly and attentive service. And I always say this...perfect convivial vibe.

Was so good I went back twice! Great food and price point was very affordable. The Ropa Veja was my favorite. I did get the brisket the second night and it was also good. Service was fast and friendly. Not many seats inside.

Post City Theatre performance the Colombian Spot was a good choice for a different kind of meal. The spotlessly clean restaurant has many South of the Border options. We chose the Arepa Vegetariana and Arepa Mixta. Both were quite tasty. On the table are a number of sauces to enhance the Arepa. There is a small bar and a number of beer options. Our server was attentive and helpful with descriptions of entrees.

This is a must try spot for anyone living in or near the southside! From the outside, this place looks very unassuming. However, the food here is definitely noteworthy!The arepas are delicious and quite filling! The appetizers, like the tostones con guacamole and the tostones con todo are both great. I haven't had anything here that I didn't like!

We were walking down the street and this is one of the places that we had on our list. The interior was colorful and happy and the waitress greatly us as we walked in. We went with her pick of the steak and rice. It was alright. A little salty for me. The portions were big for someone with a big appetite.

This was a great place. It's essentially a bar in the South Side with some excellent Columbian food on the menu, but it's also so much more than that. We ordered takeout, and the ordering experience was great. The food was ready on time. The staff were very friendly. It really felt like an establishment that I'd like to support. They had a few different salad options, which is not something that I always find with a Latin American restaurant. The vegetable empanadas were crispy and delicious with a pleasing variety of textures and flavors. The hot sauce was tangy and flavorful. The salads were fresh and very well presented. Even the guacamole and tostones were really well done. All told, this is definitely a fun and flavorful destination worth checking out.

Food: Pretty good. Had what was essentially a sampler and then some ribs. Both were excellent and things I would order again.Service: waiter wasn't really cut out for the job, I fear Ambiance: Cool looking interiorOverall: I'd go back again. It would be a good place to take people if you had some guests and were going to the Southside for something

From the outside, The Colombian Spot doesn't seem like anything grand. I have probably walked past at least 100 times and never went inside. My boyfriend suggested that we come here for lunch one day, I am so glad we did!! When you come in, the restaurant is decorated so cute and Colombian themed. It was pretty empty when we went on a Saturday at 11:30 am, but once it hit noon a couple other groups came in. The menu was surprisingly big for the size of the restaurant. I ordered the Tostones con Guacamole and Chicken empanada. The tostones were amazing! I have never had fried plantain before, only plantain chips. These were so warm and thicker, almost like a pita bread. Seriously so good. The guacamole was also so good, very flavorful. The chicken empanada was also extremely delicious. Safe to say this is the best empanada I have ever had. It was PACKED FULL of tasty chicken, potatoes, onions, and tomatoes. All in all I was so impressed by the food at The Colombian spot. I cannot believe I haven't come here sooner. I need to come back for dinner so I can try one of their cocktails :) They are certainly going to be added to my regular spots around the city!

Fast and friendly service with authentic and delicious dishes! Housemade arepas done in a traditional style and packed with fresh and flavorful fillings. My favorite spot to eat at in SouthSide!
