" La Fonda Paisa has been my go-to for Colombian groceries and food. I love the variety they offer! Their tamales are a standout—they have the perfect mix of flavors and are incredibly satisfying. However, the restaurant side could improve its seating arrangements as it gets crowded quickly. The service was generally friendly, but they seemed overwhelmed during busy times. Overall, a solid choice for Colombian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my mom to La Fonda Paisa after hearing so much about it, and we had a wonderful time. From the variety of Colombian products to the delicious food, it’s a real treat! We ordered empanadas and arepas. The empanadas were crispy and full of flavor, but the arepas were slightly dry – a bit disappointing. Additionally, the staff was helpful but not overly attentive. Even so, the authenticity of the food shines through, and the prices are fair. We will come back for the empanadas alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise La Fonda Paisa was for me and my friends! The menu is vast and features many authentic Colombian dishes. We ordered a variety and shared among ourselves. Everything from the arepas to the sancocho was well-received. The ambiance is casual and friendly, though it tends to get crowded. However, it adds to the charm. Would recommend it for a fun night out or a family dinner. Their desserts are a must-try too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered La Fonda Paisa during a trip to Silver Spring, and let me tell you, it was quite an experience! From the moment I entered, I was greeted with a friendly smile, which is always a plus. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa, and wow, it was everything I hoped it would be. The flavors were rich and reminded me of home, not to mention the generous portions! I'll definitely be back. The only downside was that the seating was a bit cramped, but you won't mind once the food arrives! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to La Fonda Paisa on a whim and it quickly became my go-to for any cravings of Colombian food. The ajiaco was an absolute show-stopper! Each bite was bursting with flavor, and the chicken was so tender. The service was quick, and I felt valued as a customer. However, I have to mention the overall atmosphere could use some work—it’s a bit plain and could use a facelift. Regardless, you can’t beat the quality of food here! " (*Curated Review*)
