Ruth, our server was very friendly. Excellent food. Large portion, even for me. Iced Coffee was Great. Forgot to take a pic of my food after I got it, but looked exactly like the menu.

We had a wonderful experience at Mis Raices restaurant. The food was so fresh and flavorful, and our waitress, Marianna, was incredibly attentive and so sweet. She checked on us often, made great recommendations, and really made us feel taken care of. We’ll definitely be back!!!

Came here for brunch while on a trip- first time having Colombian food and love it! Daniel was so nice and helped us choose the best options. The Pandebono were so good we took some to go! Everything was fresh, delicious, and fantastic! They even have vegetarian options too. We had the Veggie eggs Benedict, skirt steak, Pandebono, buñuelos, and tinto campesino. Recommend this to everyone wanting good food and great service!

Listen, if you’re Colombian and want some legitimate dishes with consistent and AMAZING flavor, please eat here. I cannot recommend this enough. I will be traveling here once a month 45 min away just to try the rest of the menu.

The food was amazing! The grill chicken was so amazingly seasoned, paired with sweet plantains and a wonderful salad. The Churrasco steak was perfectly cooked, it was soft, seasoned to perfection and not chewy at all. It was paired with white rice and red beans. The beans were made with cilantro and tocino. The drinks were just as amazing. We had a coconut mojito and a red sangria. The service was amazing. They were very sweet and kind and helped us with our order as it was our first time there. This place deserves a 5 star across the board.

This restaurant is amazing! I was in the area for work with my business partner in search of some good Columbian food. Decided to go here because of good reviews and was NOT disappointed. Our server, Ruth, was so pleasant and accommodating! The food was so tasty. We were full but could not stop eating! Whenever I'm in the area I will definitely stop here again. Highly recommend!

This was my first time having Colombian cuisine and it blew me away!! I’m a soup lover so I ordered a sancocho (traditional stew) which came with many delicious sides, including beef, rice, avocado, and plantains. The soup bowl is HUGE and I had it for 2 more days at home afterwards! All of this I got for around $25 including tax and tips, which is very reasonable and good value especially considering the amount and quality you get. The staff were very attentive and friendly. They were happy to accommodate my request to switch out corn on the cob for plantains which I really appreciated. At the end of my meal, I even ended up having a nice chat with one of the waiters about our respective cultures, languages, and cuisines! This is definitely among the best Latin American restaurants in the Lehigh Valley. I will be back to try out more dishes!
