I have ordered from here twice and I truly do love this food. And on a rainy day we did want to coolso we figured let's order what Reminds me of my childhood with mi abuelita in the kitchen chefing it up! Today we had the 27. Country Platter / Bandeja Paisa ad that was so hearty and filled with alllll the neccessar meats. The Chicharrón con Arepa is a staple to order though and make sure to order the Guacamole & Chips as a boss move to dip it in and enjoy with its salsa! I also ordered the Oxtail & Beef Soup with Rice / Sancocho de Cola y Carne de Res con Arroz I had this last time and loved it I will say this time I was dissappointed to not have an oxtail as I was craving that today in this rain. But regardless we are very full and very satisfied yet again! nr

Good food, but I could've done without the chunk of pork cartilage and bone in the Tamal Colombian . The Chicken Wings come 6 per order and are on the small side. The 27. Country Platter / Bandeja Paisa is always pretty good. Guacamole & Chips are a highlight. The included hot salsa was terrific.

41. Fried Porgie / Mojarra Frita was amazing! This is my second time ordering from this restaurant, and the meals are pretty big. It definitely fills me up! The white rice is season, the salad is refreshing and the fried fish, oh my gosh.

We have been eating at El Familiar for over 15 years now. Always great food, my wife is from Ecuador she says this is the closest thing to authentic food around here. She always gets the 39. Chicken Breast / Pechuga de Pollo and I love thePicadillo (Ground Beef) and also the Flautas.

I had the #15 - Chicken Fajitas and Tres Leches cake. This was one of the most delicious meals I have had in a long time. All the condiments came packaged separately, so there was no mess. Food was outstanding, and the cake was a perfect ending!
