"The Chorizo Empanada and Beef Empanada were both fantastic! The beef is not spicy at all, and the chorizo is not very spicy (it's just right for me).

"My family has been eating here for over 15 years. The best and fresh made Doro Tibsy and Kitfo with more than enough for seconds! Would highly recommend."
"I ordered the house 18. House Special Sampler and the peach Peach Cream as my beverage. It was interesting how they packaged the food, with several large pieces of injera on top, completely covering the food, instead of neatly rolled separately as pictured in some of their pictures. I did have to remove it and put it to the side in order to actually get to the main food. Otherwise, I would've had to eat most of the injera on its own, before being able to actually eat the food. The injera itself had an interesting taste to it, and not in a positive way. It was tasteless and yet also had that aforementioned taste. The 18. House Special Sampler I found to be rather bland, and the potatoes and cabbage were huge chunks. The potatoes didn't seem to be fully cooked as it had some hard parts to it. The only one that seemed to have some kind of flavor to it was the alicha. While it was my first time trying this, it just wasn't for me. Thus, I doubt that I'll order again."

"Every time I visit Alameda, I make sure to stop by Macondo Colombian Fusion. This place is the ultimate destination for indulging in authentic Colombian cuisine, including arepas, pandebonos, and empanadas. Today, I tried their Frijolada Colombiana, which was incredibly flavorful and generous enough to serve two people. The crispy chicharron and sweet plantains were a delightful accompaniment to the savory arepas."
"Everything we ordered was amazing!! So flavorful. The Choclo or Chocolo Arepa was the perfect blend of sweet and savory, the Baked Chicken Empanada was crispy and the potatoes were a perfect addition, empanadas were both delicious, and the arepas were so fresh. The guava sauce on the Grilled Plantain was sooo good. 10/10!"

"I ordered the Beef Tibsy & Okra , the Shewhat Vegan Sample and the Taita (Injera) This is the best Ethiopian food I have had in a while. The food was flavorful and delicious!Good portion sizes and the food arrived hot. I highly recommend!!!"
"I really wanted this food to be tasty for the price that they charged ($25 for a veggie plate)! It was the worst Ethiopian food the I've ever eaten! The yellow lentils were soupy and hard! There was no salad! When the food arrived it was leaking out of the container! The cabbage was too crunchy! The red lentils were too salty and very soupy! Wow! That about covers it! I would not recommend this place to anyone!"

Rave Reviews
" I've had the veggie platter at all the restaurants in Berkeley in Oakland area. I think this one might be the best most flavorful one.
 I don't like the plastic packaging really hope they can switch to something compostable in the future, but sometimes that can be difficult for preserving the quality during travel and I get that "

"Loved all the flavors. Quatro Queso was the best-gooey cheese, filling was great and the crust was solid. Have a bottle opener handy if you order soda."
"The food is fresh, but the edges of my epanadas were a little too burnt for my liking. Also too dry for my liking, I regret not ordering the chimichurri alongside. Also the chorizo isnt chorizo I thought it was... it's more pieces of ham? Not sure. Oh well, but I believe my favorite was the Carne CA-(Ground beef). I will try again with the chimichurri!"

"Enjoyed the beef Picadillo a lot. Very tasty and seemingly fresh. The ground beef was soft and the potatoes, carrots and peas were all virtually the same size and therfore were cooked evenly in the tomato and mild spices and beef flavor sauce which paired perfectly with the steamed rice that it came with.
The pork humba was good too sort of an amped up version of an Adobo flavor. "
"Rice was overcooked and meat tasted a bit like it had some soap residue. Packaged well and portions were good, but I ended up not finishing the dinuguan because of the soapy taste"

"The Barcote's Fish Goulash was absolutely delicious! I'm always hesitant to order seafood for delivery, but this traveled well and the flavor was incredible. The Extra Injera was also amazing - some of the best injera bread I've had."
"Wow I've ordered from here before and the quality this time was horrible. The packaging wa speaking, meat tasted strange and bland, and the flavor wasn't there. The color of the "gluten free" injera was also seriously off. I will not order from here again.
And to top it all off the portions are so small and overpriced!"
