Excellent find in newmarket! We tried their arepas with flank steak, plantains, and black beans with cheese and it's delicious! The food is freshly made and the quantity is generous too! Definitely also get their tres leche cake and their stuffed potato ball. You won't regret it! We will be coming back in the future.

So glad for the recommendation here from a friend. The empanadas are wonderful, it’ll be dangerous to just pop by and just get them for an inexpensive snack. The arepas are well awesome, flavourful and filling. Definitely coming back!

Love love love to cafe Andes! Consistently amazing from day one! Everything fresh and delicious. If you like Columbian / Brazilian food , this is the place. To go. If you’re looking for desert only - There are cakes and churros , refreshing drinks and excellent coffee. Place is clean and welcoming !

What a gem in Newmarket! We had arepa de pabellon and chicken and avocado, both very flavourful and fresh. We also had empanadas and tres leches cake, all superb. Service is great and friendly.

Fantastic experience here. I went with some co-workers, 2 of which are latin and they even said the food is authentic. I had the pabellon criollo, the beans were great and the plantain was tasty. I also had to try a carne mechada arepa, and the beef was even juicier on this. I think arepas are the way to go here. The atmosphere was also very clean, above average, not to mention the great service. I will have to return to try another arepa.

Do not pass over this place! It's a little tucked away and hard to find if you haven't been before in the corner of its plaza, but it is absolutely spectacular! Hearty, rich South American cuisine which we don't get enough of here in Canada. Not like Mexican food, try a new culture! Portions are huge and very filling, excellent value. Lots of meat on meals which include it. Coffee is heavenly. Well crafted and very balanced. No sugar required in my latte! The decor is a little simple but it's always perfectly clean. I like a place that concentrates on its food. Delicious homemade South American desserts. Come for the coffee and stay for the food! Also the staff is very friendly and love to share suggestions on what to order. Very passionate about their food.

A very friendly place. Their arepas are outstanding, especially the steak. And the coffee? Amazing. Thank you! Update: went again, had another fabulous meal (see the attached photo). Very filling, and well priced. Thanks again. Update: enjoyed another great meal. The quality is very consistent. Update June 2024: their empanadas are great, I love the beef one. Their coffee is consistently excellent as well.

I visited this cozy spot yesterday and while parking was a bit challenging due to the busy lot, the place had a Walk with Jesus sign on the door. The staff was decent, with the girl being more friendly. I spoke some Spanish, but we stuck to English, which was fine. The food was tasty, though I d recommend calling ahead as the arepas and vegetarian empanada took about 10 minutes to fry. The tequeños were delicious, and while the churro was more like a doughnut with dulce de leche, it was still enjoyable. With a large menu and a mom-and-pop feel, I d definitely give it another try.

August 22, 2024

Very bad service. Selective. They charge $5 for a 150g piece of avocado. They are so tied up that they dont give it away on a Colombian plate. The place has nothing Colombian. Lunch is a real portion. I recommend the service and quality of the restaurant: La Bonita in Mississagua. That siii is a real Colombian restaurant. For the rest, I hope you read this comment because I visited them three times but there will not be a fourth. Dont post photos of the country, especially the coffee-growing area where avocado and coffee are not included with lunch. Very bad service.

One of the few places that I know of where to get Latin food other than Mexican around the Newmarket area, I really like the soup, I always return for it, the Venezuelan empanadas are good as well, I still have to try the arepas, but I always return for the soup and empanadas. This is a Colombian and Venezuelan place, you should give it a try

My first time there, I wanted to see what the food looked like as I didnt know what to order. They werent very helpful and lacked patience. The empanada was OK, the arepas looked ok. I havent eaten it yet. My son broke his leg and Is going for surgery tomorrow. I didnt want to cook because I have to look after him. Not as good as the great reviews. Its expensive. I tried the empanada it was good. This is revision of my first review. Actually the food was pretty good. But expensive. I think I was more disappointed in service.

Cafe Andes is dangerous place if you re hungry, the good there tastes like food that came straight out of heaven. I have taken 3 of my friends there and their experience is close to a spiritual awakening. Reason I say it s dangerous the moment you buy one empanada is the moment you are trapped. The taste blocks out all the sounds and thoughts and focuses you to the power of the food. Even if you re with friends I can bet you 2 empanadas that not one of you will say a word during the experience of the fabulous food it s always a rush and you always wanna go for seconds making you go broke in an hour. The only issue I have with it is that it s not open every day, but things in life must not come to perfection but yet satisfaction.

A hidden gem. Boasts spectacular and authentic south American cuisine, and friendly service. Extremely clean, the decor is simple, but cozy and friendly. I come here regularly and try something new off their menu - have never been disappointed. If you like their hot chocolate, definitely try the moccacino w cinnamon. The Arepas are out of this world. The stuffed potatoes are also phenomenal. Just cant say enough good things about their food. Parking: Large plaza parking Kid-friendliness: Totally kid friendly

I loved the Venezuelan empanadas, it reminded me of my homeland and brought back good memories, very good service.

December 22, 2023

My bad experience? If I buy two empanadas I expect them to give me two spicy ones, not that they give me just one for one empanada and charge me the other as an additional one, each empanada is supposed to have its own spice, they dont have to charge it additionally.

★★★★★
December 22, 2023

Incredible service and the food speaks for itself. Definitely will be coming here again and 100% recommend. I would suggest trying their beef and chicken empanadas!

If you want to go to a restaurant just for the food and not for the experience this is your place. I want to make clear that the food taste is really good (they keep the Latin flavours super authentic) The prices and the customer service not so much. I ve been there for a couple of times and the way I have been treated or talked made me order their food through Uber Eats that way I didn t have to face them and/or I was sure how much I was going to pay. We all understand that inflation is a big struggle but the prices constantly change without notice. What I have pay for one thing lets say $1 dollar and the next week is $3 and the following week is $2.50 and so on. That on top of the adds on you have to pay for simple things just like a sauce. But yeah, I mean at least the food is good (?)

The food at the restaurant was good; however, I was disappointed with the service. Our server was extremely rude, which affected our overall experience. I went to the restaurant with my elderly parents. When I requested a copy of the menu he anent me to ann app in a rude way. It would have been nice to have an hard copy menu for my parents. Additionally, when I asked for water, the server instructed me to help myself, which left me wondering about their role there. Despite the decent quality of the food, the prices were a bit high. Considering the combination of poor service and high prices, I wont be returning to this restaurant and cannot recommend it to others.

If you are ready for something different try Cafe Andes. Its a small place, a few tables, not fancy. A very interesting and unique menu of South American food. Order at the counter off of the menu board, they deliver to your table. Rich homestyle food made on site, good size servings, lots of flavour. Arepes or full plates available. They even had Inca Cola, which I have not seen since I was in Peru. The place is a bit tricky to find but worth a try.

Visited July 14.2022- came first thing in the morning, just after 9AM. Guanabana/sour sop drink was delicious (can choose water or milk), churro filled with dulce de leche was freshly made and still warm! Not greasy, light but filling plentiful- regret not buying more. Also had a few empanadas which were warm and flavourful. It was a one man show today so wait was a little long but definitely worth it! Friendly service. Few tables to sit and have a bite to eat. For what we paid it was great value. You can tell everything is made with love. Will definitely be back to try more items!

They have several options of Colombian and Venezuelan food. While some other places in Toronto also offer empanadas or buñuelos, this place combines those options with Venezuelan arepas.

Wow what a find!! Decided to try out this place when I was looking for someplace to at for a brunch meal. Since it was the only place open at the time of my search I went for it. I have had Colombian food before so I am a little familiar with it. Since there is no dine in allowed right now so decided to try empanadas and sandwich as we would eat m the car. So we ordered chicken and Colombian empanadas, cheese corn fried ball and a chicken, avocado cheddar sandwich. For drinks we had black Colombian coffee and a ice tea. I loved the set up of the restaurant and can t wait to dine in soon and try their meals. The food was simply awesome. One of the best Colombian food i have had till date. Awesome Coffee too. This is now on my regular go to list for some awesome wholesome food!

Delicious arepas! Don t let the price for a single arepa put you off. They are huge and my wife finds that one is enough to provide two meals. I find that one is a good size for a meal. There is a wide variety of choices and everything we have tried is great. Other items on the menu include different styles of empanadas and patacones (fried green plantain). Have a rice pudding for dessert!

Wow what a pleasant surprise speaking from someone who isn t easily impressed and a real foodie by heart. This has to be one of the if not best arepas I have tried by far. Surprised to find a hidden gem like this in Newmarket can t wait to try there other plates definitely will come by here next time maybe even on my off day lol best part of the arepa was the meat very tender and juicy. Newmarket is lucky to have this place

Finally got to Cafe Andes and oh mylanta, so good! We tried 3 flavours of the empanadas: flank steak, chicken, and Colombian (potato and beef). They were all delicious but the flank was the winner for us. Crisp just slightly sweet corn crust stuffed just right. And that magic green sauce...not entirely sure what its called, but just the perfect balance of bright and fresh without being too spicy. Next up was the Colombian Style Stuffed Potatoes (Papas Rellenas Colombianas). Almost what Id imagine a portable ball of Columbian shepherds pie. The pototo was rich and creamy with lovely seasoned ground beef, rice and egg in the center. And last but not least Pabellon Arepa -Corn flour Arepa Stuffed with Shredded Flank Steak, Black Beans, Fried Plantain, and Mozarella Cheese. That sweet plantain in there. Mmmmmmm. It was definitely 2 meals in one. Cant wait to go back and try more new things!

Based on the reviews, we decided to give Cafe Andes a try. Weve never had Colombian or Venezuelan food before and the server assured us that everything was good. At first we got beef and chicken arepas, some empanadas, beef soup, cheese sticks, and churros and sampled them in our car. They were all terrific so we went back and ordered more food to take home. Everything we got was great like the server said but we found the beef soup to be absolutely amazing. We will definitely visit again the next time were in Newmarket.

Ordered Arepas and empanadas last night and was very impressed. The Pabellon Arepa was super tasty and the plantain was fried exactly as it should be. Also ordered the Colombian and Flank Steak Empanadas and they were one of the best Ive ever had. Very authentic and so glad its located so close to home. Will definitely return to try the other items on the menu.

Wonderful restaurant. Hubby and I have had lunch there a few times and always amazing. My favourite is the chicken pantacone and hubby loves the beef soup. Food is flavourful. Soup is packed full of beef, plantains and corn. So yummy on a cold winters day. Servings are large and I had to take half of mine home for my dinner. We tried the chicken, Columbian and beef empanadas this time as well. Also wonderful. What a great find in Newmarket. :) We will be back

We have been here several times and have tried just about everything you simply cannot go wrong here. Everything from the empanadas (any of them) to the arepas, to the many lunch/dinner options, to the breads are fantastic! We highly recommend you give them a try if you re in town. We drive from Bradford to get our fix

The rice was half cooked, very hard and tasteless, the sausage called chorizo was so dry and hard, the empanadas was swimming in oil, and the meat was hard like a wood, customer service was disorganized and careless and the prices were too high i hope they improve their quality cuz I don t mind to drive toronto if I know I m going to enjoy the food. Also alcohol licence will be a most.

Dropped by Cafe Andes for a cappuccino in the early afternoon. The food looked very tempting, it was lunch time, so I ended up getting Arepas, Empanadas, Tequenos and a cassava pastry. The coffee was very good - good flavors, good mix of espresso vs. milk. The food was incredibly delicious and filling. The arepas were the star of the show and alone would have been enough to feed 2 people (we got two: Flank Steak+Cheese, and Chicken+Avocado+Cheese - about 10 fillings to select from are available). The Empanadas (one beef, one chicken), Tequenos (cheese-stuffed pastry log) and cassava pastry stuffed with beef were also very tasty, great flavors, tasted fresh and homemade and very filling. The arepas appear to be made fresh from scratch for each individual order. We are so lucky to have places like this in our neighbourhood. Cant wait to go back and try their house made desserts.

This restaurant is wonderful, I ate a tray paisa that was extremely delicious and it transported me to my land of Colombia. Apart from that, I couldnt wait and ate a Chicken Supreme that was very delicious and I cant ignore the delights of its natural juices. It is a wonderful restaurant. This restaurant is truly a wonder, I had tray paisa which was extremely delicious and took me back to my native country, Colombia. Adding on to that I could not resist but to have a Chicken Suprema which was delicious as well. And I cannot forget to mention their amazing natural juices. Its a wonderful restaurant.

These guys have the best Columbia s food I ve ever had in my life. Their empanadas are to die for. I literally NEVER like empanadas because they are dry and dull, not these guys. The meat inside is extremely juicy and flavourful. And their dough, omg their dough is sooooo good. I am a gluten free girl so I love that they hve so many options for me. Their mauze? Bread is moist and unlike anything I ve ever tasted before. YOU MUST TRY AND BUY A JAR OF THEIR HOT SAUCE 10/10 from Me, I will be a frequent flyer from now on.

Great food, great value, and a big variety of gluten free options for the gluten intolerant in my house. We just finished a takeout meal of chicken corn soup and arepas. They were both superb, the soup was enough for 2 large bowls, contained a full quarter chicken, and part of a cob of corn. The flavour was great,and it was the perfect hearty bowl for a winter night.The arepas were very tasty and had a ton of delicious tender shredded meat, avocados, beans cheese and fried plantain. If not for this Covid thing, i would be booking a trip back to south America right now. Tomorrow is empanadas for lunch.
