El Colmao

\t\nThe food is ok and way overpriced. The seafood rice is not what it used to be, now they make it with parboiled rice.\t\nTostones are good.\t\nMazas de puerco y congri is good\t\nThe prices here goes up every time someone in the family buys a new mercedes.

First ate here years ago with a friend who grew up in Pico-union. Authentic. no-nonsense. great food. What else is needed?

I remember going there with my parents all those years ago. The food has remained consistent throughout that time. Its one of the few places where you can order beef tongue and its served right. The portions are good and overall its still a good value. The only draw back is the lack of parking and the sketchy neighborhood.

Ive been going back to this place for years. My family loves to come here when they visit from Fresno. Its great authentic cuban food for a reasonable price. It a great family setting great for groups. You dont usually need to make a reservation but if you want to make ...sure you get in, you can make reservations. The only con about this place is that the food does take a little bit to get there but trust me it is well worth the wait. Also its not in the best part of town so make sure you lock your cars. Other than that i recomend this place to everyone if you want to see what real cuban food is about. In my opinion it far exceeds the quality of authentic food of even Jennifer Lopez's restaurant in Pasadena and it is cheaper here!! Very Yummy! Read More
