I love that there’s an empanadas place in Alameda now. Unfortunately I didn’t get to try them this time. I got the Alegria Combo which is two arepas, salad, and a drink. Got the banh mi and pulled pork bbq arepas. Both were super delicious....Read More

Delicious food and we are looking forward to returning many times in the future. We tried the Maite, Banh Mi and Choclo arepas, beef empanada and the plantain side. Only a bench inside and outside so you'll need to take your food to eat elsewhere. Luckily...Read More

MACONDO is special. The empanadas are made to order. The meats are tender and saturated with flavor. MACONDO challenges pizza for the title of "best the day after and left out on the counter" I ate here 3 times in a span of 24 hours the...Read More

As a Colombian-American that grew up in Miami, I did not think I was going to find good Colombian food in the Bay. Macondo has emphatically shown me I was wrong. Beyond the amazing soups, baked goods, Colombian soda, and arepas, this place has a...Read More

Macondo-Colombian Fusion is pure magic! From the moment you walk in, the flavors and aromas transport you straight to Colombia. I recently tried the Barbecue Arepa, the Colombianissima, and the Farmer’s Arepa—each one was phenomenal, bursting with bold, authentic flavors. Empanada Thursdays are a must,...Read More

My wife picked up the food and it was such a pleasant surprise. I really like arepas to begin with so I'm biased. But they were amazing. Got pulled pork, chicken, cheese and quesabirria. The birria won without a fight. Giving it five stars …

Controversial statement but I'll say it: Macondo serves better arepas than I've had in Columbia. The fusion dishes are particularly good, if you find yourself on Webster Street it's a must have.

Trust me on this: Order the chicken arepas, the spinach/ beet salad and the red beans. It's a very healthy and tasty meal that should leave you energized. This place is also a great grub source for the bar across the street. ...Read More
