Our Top Pick
El Gustazo
Big Colombian comfort plates with grill-forward flavors and generous portions.

Notable Picks

$$ Downtown Flushing
A Colombian-focused spot that leans into hearty parrilla-style plates and comforting staples rather than polish. The move is to treat it like a neighborhood grill: order a bandeja-style spread, add a crispy side, and let the portions do the work for you.
Must-Try Dishes: Bandeja paisa, Chicharrón, Empanadas
What makes it special: Big Colombian comfort plates with grill-forward flavors and generous portions.

Worthy Picks

$ Downtown Flushing
A bakery-counter hybrid where the best meals feel like well-seasoned cafeteria comfort: quick plates, pastries, and grab-and-go staples. It’s strongest when you keep it simple—roasted meats, soups, and baked goods—rather than chasing anything fussy.
Must-Try Dishes: Rotisserie chicken plate, Empanadas, Tres leches cake
What makes it special: Bakery + hot line combo for fast Latin comfort plates and desserts.
$ Murray Hill
A deli-style Salvadoran stop where the appeal is direct: made-to-order pupusas, simple hot items, and a homey, utilitarian setup. It’s ideal when you want something fast and satisfying, with flavors that read more homemade than restaurant-polished.
Must-Try Dishes: Pupusas revueltas, Tamales, Yuca con chicharrón
What makes it special: Deli-format Salvadoran cooking with pupusas made to order.
$$ Murray Hill
A Colombian staple built around rotisserie-style chicken and no-nonsense sides, best approached as a comfort-first, flavor-forward stop. The kitchen shines on hearty stews and shareable platters, while service and pacing can be more uneven at peak times.
Must-Try Dishes: Rotisserie chicken, Cazuela de mariscos, Sweet plantains
What makes it special: Colombian chicken-and-sides done in a hearty, neighborhood style.
