Thursday Friday Saturdays and some Sundays we have Latin party and the best Latin food in Vancouver and Surrey
I must say, without any hesitation, that the food and service at this Colombian restaurant and Colombian food in Surrey were absolutely amazing. The fried fish was incredibly delicious, and I highly recommend it. The service was top-notch, and the prices were very reasonable. You won't regret dining at this restaurant, that's for sure!
The service is excellent, friendly and explains well the menu. The food is superv and big so well worth of your money 👍🏼
Update. Have been at UL several times, still consider their food decent. However one way to loose your customers is by charging $3.99 for a can of coke! Seriously?! Give your head a shake! If you want to experience some Colombian food this is the only place I’ve found to be as close to what I remember it being while living in Colombia. Highly recommend it! Will come back to try everything else on the menu!
I came across this little gem while trying to find a restaurant in Surrey that I hadn’t been to. We were blown away by how delicious the food was. We had two appys and two entrees and everything was wonderful. The service was great, too. We will definitely be going back!
Delicious flavours and great variety of food. Absolutely loved the coconut rice, the fresh passionfruit juice, the empanadas and the fried plantains. YUM 😋😋
Amazing cuisine! First time ever. So much satisfied with whatever they served and super friendly customer service. Strongly recommending to anyone who would like to try some authentic Columbian food😋
Amazing taste on all the Colombian food!!! We live in San Francisco California and are here in Vancouver on vacay. Me and my wife drove 1hr from downtown to Surrey and IT WAS DEFINITELY WORTH THE DRIVE!!! The empanadas are delish, the Sancocho and Chuleta de pollo are incredibly delicious!! Customer service is also great!!!
Excellent food and service! Colombian traditional food served in a casual style. The dish of chicken rice with fries is massive! I had the beans, rice and beef with banana and coleslaw salad. Everything was impressively good!
Very good
Everything is good food
Delicious!!! Thank you and highly recommended!!!
I love going to this Colombian restaurant! The food is amazing and the service is too! If you want to get a taste of home, I highly recommend you visit Union Latinos!
So so SOOOO dang good!
Excellent Service
Amazing food
Good food. Please bring back pollo en salsa
Laura was outstanding. The cuisine was so delicious. She delivered First Class service. The music is so wonder & the ambiance of Union Latino is very original.
wow the food is very good
Awesome food and good environment!
Thank you Miguel Potes and his team who are located in the Surrey BC Canada area.
It is the best restaurant in Vancouver and Surrey, during my stay in Canada I felt at home, enjoying all these delicious dishes. I hope to return soon and delight in the cuisine of Union Latinos Food. The best restaurant in Canada. Bless.
My family feel so happy with this restaurant great service and food is awesome ! Real Colombia Food Food
Good food is sold here
First time coming here! The papa rellena was amazing, as were all the other dishes we tried. The freshly made mango juice is also a must try. Thanks guys!
I want to congratulate the owners of this magical restaurant where I felt welcomed by all the warmth and love of my Colombian land, the service is excellent from entering the place to saying goodbye and this makes the gastronomic experience as magical as this beautiful place. place. A thousand thanks to this great family for allowing us to enjoy this little corner that makes us feel at home.
Great food
I got Empanadas, Chicken Chop, and Grilled Chicken Breast. The Chicken Chop and Grilled Chicken Breast were really tasty, and the salad added a lot of flavor to the dishes. The Chicken Empanadas were good, but the Cheese Empanadas are not that good.
Despite the friendly staff, my dining experience took an unfortunate turn. The owner, along with their family, including a crying baby, disrupted the atmosphere. The constant screams and cries made it challenging to enjoy a meal, and unfortunately, little was done to address the situation. Coupled with the cold ambiance, lack of heating, and the overpriced menu, its safe to say this was not an enjoyable dining experience.
This Colombian resturant was soo good. was missing food from my home in Puerto Rico and wanted to get some food that was similar and this was the BEST place in Vancouver I ve ever visited. The boy that took my order was very nice and welcoming! Would 100% recommend.
We had a poor dining experience here recently. The food was not bad but the restaurant s ethics left much to be desired. I would suggest that customers verify the cost of everything (both for eat-in and take-out) before you order and check your food before you eat/leave. This is what the server told us when she took our order: - There vegetarian options for empanadas - She had green tea - Empanadas were on special for $1 each Here s what happened: - Server brought Lipton s black tea - Chef made vegetarian empanadas with chicken in it - When we ordered vegetarian empanadas to go, the server charged us $23.. for 8 empanadas, three times what we had been quoted - When we asked her why we were told they were $1 each, she then said that was a special for dine-in only. Something she failed to mention when we ordered the take-out or when she told us the price in the first place. - We told her we would not have ordered the ones to go if we knew they were going to be $3 a piece for such tiny pieces and she had said they were a dollar, she said she would ask her manager. - She came back, altered the price by $1. Yes, she charged us $22 for 8 empanadas after telling us they were a dollar each. Still, we tipped anyway because that s the way we do things here. We act with integrity. Sadly, the manager who asked the server to still charge us $22 for what should have been $8, has now taken away any future business from me or my dining companion. And forced my hand in writing this review. I agree mistakes happen, but when brought to their attention, a restaurant should own up to their mistake and absorb the price difference, not push it to the customer - that is akin to misrepresentation/misleadingand reflects unethical and dishonest business practice. Ultimately, that restaurant left a terrible experience.
Cool options like the stuffed plantain but could be healthier. Was great to be allowed to get a salad even though I didnt see it on the menu too
Super delicious Colombian food, been trying 1 fish every week and everything s been a hit. Big plus on the aborrajado.
Seriously one of the best restaurants thats tucked away. Never would have thought it was this good, but Im definitely coming back.
Excellent food and service, highly recommended it
Hidden gem
We spent more than 15 minutes waiting for our account to be able to pay, we spoke to about four staff members, one of them to the head waiter, who ignored us and until we went to the head of the place, they handed us our ticket.
Very good service
The staff is super friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was perfect for our occasion(birthday). The Margarita was on the rocks, salty and sweet. I have never liked plantains and the ones I had were tasty(while hot, the one I saved till last wasnt as good but thats my fault for leaving it). The fish was fried whole, and for my first experience the bar has been set high. Have you ever had coconut rice? Until yesterday I had never had the best choice of rice I could have made. In short, dont hesitate in heading here for a night of adventure. Thank you Miguel and family for the wonderful experience.
The best place to enjoy Colombian gastronomy. Excellent attention.
Food was delicious and its only a few minutes from the train station!
This is my new favorite place Parking: Love it
The soup I had was fantastic and the staff was incredibly friendly. Highly recommend and Ill definitely be back.
Great service and food was delicious
Delicious food but overpriced
The ajiaco is delicious.
The best of BC
Great food and other nutrients
FINALLY GOOD COLOMBIAN FOOD IN VANCOUVER!! Just had their empanadas today they were BOMB.
Tried the pollo en salsa. Super satisfied with the flavour, presentation, and quality of their food. Service was super friendly and knowledgeable. They were great at recommending dishes to first time customers. If you want a place to try authentic Colombian cuisine, this is the place.
The food is very bad
We loved everything!!! The food was awesome! Excellent service and truly next level mango juice for a moment I forgot I was in Canada! Thank you very much
-Paisa tray: 5/10 little beans, two strips of meat and 3 cm avocado (old). The rice, mature and chicharrón was good. (38 cad, excessive price for what it was) -Good empanadas (3 each and with two bites you finish them, they are mini) -The regular atmosphere: there was a band playing but the volume was so high that the artists voices were distorted and nothing could be understood. -I saw that they used melted ice from one bucket to fill another. I dont know if they do the same with juices or jugs, I have a doubt. Overall a 6/10. As if to prove it, I dont think Ill come back.
Wonderful food and friendly staff.
Amazing food, great friendly service. Ordered the weekend special soup with cheese and chicken empanadas!
Went for Fathers Day, and they served very authentic Colombian food . The service was fantastic and the food is delicious and the restaurant is clean !!
All good thanks
The delicious food has that homemade flavor, it reminds me a lot of my familys food, my server Elena was super attentive and constant, she made sure that I wouldnt miss anything, highly recommended..!
A great little place to find typical Latin food
It taste like a Colombian grandmas hug, theres no better way to describe it
We went on July 20 (Colombian Independence Day) and we enjoyed the Bandeja Paisa and Pescado Frito. And to finish it off, we got Mazamorra which was delicious.
Wow absolutely incredible! Its super authentic and delicious with good prices. Id recommend to anyone and will take my family here.
Nice colombian experience :)
A perfect Colombian experience
Vegetarian options: empanada vegetarian Food
The paisa tray is very good
I wish I had taken a photo of the chicken empanadas because they looked so good. I found this place while waiting in between my classes at Central City, and was so pleasantly surprised. The service was great, the food was priced well and I left fed and happy.
Good Colombian restaurant. Trybrte Ajiaco orntte fried tilapia. So delicious. Suggestion: Music too loud to my like, turn it down
I love to eat at this place whenever I go to Vancouver have great food
Amazing food, just like the colombian taste. The only reason why I m giving 2 stars on the service is because today October 15th / 2023 there s a girl in the evening shift that seems to be angry and the service she is offering has nothing to be with what we are used to as clients. Her face her way to answer is not exactly what I was expecting. Hopefully the owners notices this, cause is not the right way, whatever is happening with her and her personal life shouldn t be an issue at her workplace.
Food is great and Elena is the best
The food was delicious, and thank you Elena the service was great!!
What a delicious food and service. Laura was super friendly, and we loved our experience
We spent a good time here, our server Laura was excellent in her customer service as well as super friendly. We ordered Tilapia fish and it was awesome! We would definitely come back again.
Laura gave us an amazing service to my friends and I, we come often every week and she always recommends us new meals to try and remind us what s on sale. Give the woman a raise
I found a gem of Colombia in the middle of Vancouver, this incredible restaurant not only offers Colombian cuisine, but the people who work there make it a very pleasant place, full of color, joy and warmth. I was also able to party on the weekends in this place and I really liked the live groups and the Latin atmosphere. Love the flavors of the food and of course the excellent service of its workers. Thank you for representing us far from home.

Delicious Bandeja Paisa & excellent customer service!!
Really great Colombian food. Had the mazorcada and bandeja paisa. Both were delicious and now I need a nap. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options for some dishes including the bandeja paisa
Unfortunately I didnt give it 5 stars after seeing what they charge for a can of Coca-Cola (3.99) that price is not charged in any 5-star restaurant. Excellent food and service.
Very delicious food. I recommend this place so good.
Delicious food and great customer service. I ll definitely come back again!
Good food, a little delayed service but that can be corrected.
Amazing Colombian food. Lived in the area for a year and my first time trying. Deep rich flavours, great value in every dish, and very friendly folks.
I highly recommend this family restaurant, they are Colombian, sure youll get the real Colombian taste in all the dishes. Miguel is really nice, and he speaks English fluently so he will be able to answer your questions. Sometimes, food takes a while, although I think its worth the wait.
Excellent Colombian food. Highly recommended.
The food is the real deal, delicious, and very generous portions. The service was excellent. The vibe of the place is very authentic. And the owner was really kind and humble. Excellent experience!! Loved it!!
Food so good will bring my friends here and family
One of the only spots you can eat great homestyle Colombian food. Portions are decent food quality is great and the owners son is my highlight every time we go. Such a fun, genuine, attentive young man. Give it a try, you won t be disappointed. My only complaint is it can sometimes be a touch expensive compared to similar offerings nearby.
The food was very delicious, I liked the heavy fried food and the coconut rice.
Excellent food...my favorite Latin place
Very good place to try Colombian dishes, plus the service is excellent
Latin Food and Products, Good quality.
Didnt find what i need
They served me sour, old chicken, bland and sloppy beans. Plantains and rice were enjoyable but I feel thats a given. I walked in and a server with red hair approached me and I said, Id like to order takeout and she replied, what. Oh I need a menu .. Ok fine your establishment doesnt care for customer service, but what about simple manners? Maybe they are just kind and serve better food to people who speak their language. Its kind of how things go sometimes. Saw a review that said best Colombian food in North America - almost puked reading that. Or maybe it was the rancid chicken .. Highly NOT recommend eating here.
Restaurant is Fiiiiireeeee!! Best Columbian food I ve had anywhere from Vancouver to chilliwack. Surrey has the game locked for ethnic food right now for real for real.
Yummy Colombian food restaurant! We had the Aborrajados, Empanadas and two rice plates with chicken and beef Friendly staff and awesome food
Excellent! When you miss your homeland, this is the ideal place to eat. I wish I spent more time in Vancouver to go out to eat every day. Everything very delicious, the atmosphere and the service excellent.
First time here. The atmosphere is fantastic and the owner is super friendly. I had the Grilled Chicken Breast, extremely good. High quality and its honestly the best meal Ive had in months. Would come here again!
Best bandera paisa ever! Very good empanadas , that hot sauce they make is superb!.
Im so happy love the food here. Best empanadas!
This place is a hidden gem! Best latin food in the area, empanadas are delicious!!
Amazing
Was a great day
It was great experience they have little options but rich one the food is great The service was great the people are friendly the food is a bit expensive.
Union Latinos Food offers delicious and amazing authentic Columbian food. Our friends had brought us to this hole in the wall restaurant and we were blown away by the portions and quality of the food. It is a family owned restaurant and the son, who is their server is friendly and attentive. Parking is limited but there is parking available on the street. Check it out because you wont be disappointed!
5 stars my man. Thanks for everything!
I absolutely loved my tasting experience at Union Latinos, where the place continued to fill up and everyone was ready for the savoury home cooking flavours of Columbia! Thank you for hosting our group. Spicy Jan xo
They were super nice plus the have most of the ingredients you may need to cook latin food.
Really authentic food. The bandeja paisa is amazing.
Delicious Colombian food. The presentation of the dish and the flavors are authentic. Thank you for bringing us a little piece of our country here. Excellent customer service, waitresses very attentive and fast. Congratulations!!
everything is unavailable in your place why even open your place
Delicious food! The staff is very friendly and explains all the menu options very well. I loved the 100% Colombian atmosphere <3
Excellent service and delicious food!!!!
The best Colombian food I ve tried since I moved to Canada, please expand to Toronto we need you desperately!!!
The customer services from the hostess and waiters are amazing, but the food no so much, quite pricy for the quality of it, I order fish since the owners are from the Pacific coast of Colombia, and I was really disappointed. The waiters have an iPad (fancy) to take orders, but they are not able to produce a final invoice, customer has to stand up and approach the cashier and pay them instead of getting the bill at the table and be able to pay. There is LOTS of room for improvement, I wish you good luck
Authentic Colombian food. Amazing!
Very good site, I recommend it
I have been missing my peoples food for so long, and amazing people had created thia beutiful and amazing restaurant. Im telling you, if i could marry a restaurant this is the one!! Oh yeah baby! Is so goood everyone needs to try it!!
This is the second time I went, but I wont go back and not because of the food but because the service is bad. You cant make fun of customers when youre listening to them. To Mrs. Sofia, no, we were not annoying customers, no. It was a comment asking her what type of fish she served. And if their ajiaco has nothing to do with the chicken broth without chicken and potatoes that they served me, with some guascas bathed in oil. To improve the potato, it is cooked with the chicken, the cob until it falls apart and thickens. The capers are not liquefied, much less the guascas, and they do not contain cilantro. And one understands that you cant get the ingredients but if you dont know how to prepare something or you cant get it, dont serve something poorly done. The first time I went and I liked it. The service was terrible too but I came back because I thought it was delicious. But this time it was a fiasco. And after the fact, speaking badly about the clients did not cover it, I asked them not to bring anything, it was because I heard them making fun of my mother. Daring.
Delicious food! And very good service! :)
Colombian corner, excellent service and delicious food Congratulations
Authentic Colombian food! So, so delicious! Very nice staff. I will definitely return to try more meals! Highly recommend.
It feels like Colombia in Canada.
All the flavor of Colombian food is delicious and at a good price!!
This restaurant is always the best. My wife is from. Colombia and has been here just over 2 years now. Any time she misses home I bring her food from Unions and she is happy again. It is like magic really.... But for real their food is very tasty and the most important, it is authentic.
Good variety of Latin-American products and service
It was my first time here and it looks like it will be my last. I liked the vibe, the service was decent, and I waited for about half an hour for my order. What surprised me was the food. The empanadas were good but the arepas were so inconsistent. One was super hard to eat that I couldnt finish it. The other one was also hard and had a lot of salt. For the price, I was not happy. I love supporting local businesses, but I am disappointed with Union. Its sad because I saw that they had good reviews and I was eager to try it.
Excellent!!!
Very delicious food, I recommend Buenaventura and Caney, it is delicious.
I waited a long time to get my drink, and they gave me the wrong one without ice. The waitor gave bad service and the food was overpriced for only 2 small items.
Not really good Colombian food. I m from Colombia and the food in this restaurant is not very tasty. It is a shame as it s the only Colombian restaurant in Vancouver. That is the reason that I have given several chances to this restaurant. But it s not worth it.
The food is very delicious
They have improved the food a lot
The food is very good, but it is the slowest restaurant I have ever been to. it takes 3 hours to go to lunch
Delicious food, friendly staff :)
Amazing, authentic food! Some of the best Empanadas Ive ever had. Great service too! Forgot to take photos because we were so excited to eat
Good food exelent
Their food is very tasty. If you are coming to Surrey (and if you are from LATAM), then this place is a must. Totally recommended. Aspects to improve: fastness of their service. Sometimes it takes a while for them to prepare the orders (45 min or more). Their printed menu should be improved as well. You cant even see the prices there.
Excellent service.
It is a small but very nice restaurant. The food is great!
The place isnt much but the food is great. Good price and portions. Somehow you experiment with the Latin vibe of a small original casual Colombian restaurant. The people that serve the food are also pretty cool. Thank you! We loved our food.
Recommended to eat here by a friend who loves their empanadas. Friendly family-run business. The young server there had great energy. Happy with our service and food. Generous portions. Would eat here again.
If you want good Colombian food go here! The restaurant is small and not fancy but the food was amazing. They had soccer playing on tv and an authentic Colombian barrio feeling. We were in the mood for some delicious authentic food and they delivered! The flavors were amazing and the service was friendly!
Courtesy visit
Food is delicious!!!
Very good service and delicious empanadas
Tasty Colombian food. Anything I ve tried there tasted very good. Quantity is huge. Recomendado!
Absolutely amazing food. First time trying it today and well definitely be back to try more items!
Great Latin food. Staff feels like family.
Small place but the food was excellent.
If youre looking for Colombian food or just latin food in general theres not better place than Union Latinos Food.
Food is amazing! Huge portions, service is great, worth the price! Will definitely be back.
The paisa tray was good Bandeja paisa was great
A recommended site
Super friendly service and amazing food! My fiance is from Colombia and the food is very authentic We got the sancocho soup, and he got the flank steak (sobrebarriga). The beans were so flavourful and the empanadas were delicious. Also make sure to try the aborrajados! Definitely going to come back to this family run restaurant
Exquisite food, the onion meat is the best, excellent service
Great meal at a family owned restaurant. Authethic Colombian food.
Every time I go I feel like Im in Colombia, when I leave I remember that Im in Canada.
So delicious
Very good customer service, best empanadas
Excellent food
Good pork rinds and good service :) plus passion fruit juice
Delicious food, great friendly service you havent lived till you come check out this hidden gem of Surrey , try the Bandeja Paisa folks !
I absolutely love this place and its food, customer service could improve substantially, they took for ever to take the plates away from our table. Server never came by and asked if we needed anything else. We could must definitely had some dessert but server never offered. We ordered some tinto ( coffee) an it took them like 20-25 min to serve, that was very disappointing. Also a lot of their plates are not on the menu for some reason. A lot of room for improvement but the food is amazing!!!
Glad we went! Great food and hospitality.
Best Colombian restaurant in North America
Filling portions. Fish tasted fresh and well marinated. Had an amazing diner her. Thank you :)
Love it! Delicious!!
Excellent authentic Colombian food, with delicious seasoning and exceptional service.
Excellent typical Colombian food, very good customer service. Congratulations.
