  Stopped in for a quick breakfast on a Saturday. You order at the counter and they ring you up on the register. If you order something made fresh, they call you by name.
  
  Basically ended up getting everything, including bunelos, ham and cheese roll, cheese empanadas, chicken empanadas, yuca stuffed with beef, and a sweet yellow corn arepa i forgot to take a picture of. We also got a blackberry smoothie and soda. All of this for under $20.
  
  Everything was fresh and tasty. Definitely a good thing this place is not directly across the street from my house.

  I'm spoiled because I know many great Colombian bakeries near me and this one was a big disappointment. Stumble upon this bakery while in the area and was so disappointed. Ordered a steak sandwich with fries. the steak was so hard that I couldn't bite into it at all. Ended up throwing it out. Had ordered a beef empanada and the filing was dry. Also took home some pandebonos and bunuelos and they were dry. Definitely not fresh.

  Macondo has been my go to spot for empanadas for over 13 years. A few other Colombian places have opened up around and they're all really good but this place has the better empanadas. They have a huge selection of other baked goods and lunch specials. Would deff recommend coming here for a quick bite.

  I can only rate based on my experience. I'm a regular by choice because the surrounding ones aren't as good as this one is. The staff are okay, not as friendly as you would expect but it's fine with me since I'm not as bubbly as most. However, the ladies have always been attentive and have gotten my order correct. On various occasions, I usually get carimañolas, empanadas, arepas choclo, or hot chocolate. I can't complain, they are delicious. Hot chocolate is consistently good and some days the hot chocolate is amazing!!!! The foods that I mentioned are typically ready by the time you order but the drinks may take while. Overall I have always had a pleasant experience here. I would recommend if you're nearby.

  AVOID THIS RACIST RESTAURANT.  Was there 2 days ago. Wanted to get an empananda or 2. One man was in front being waited on. 2 arrogant women behind the counter. One helping cust, the other did NOT look up at me & walked away.  RUDE, speaking spanish the entire time. As the man in front of me left, I walked up to order while 2 men walked in was ignored for them. WHAT?!?! I was 1st! They continued to speak spanish (which I am fluent) & they said "ignore the white girl" again WHAT?!?! I admit I called them a few choice words & left. 3rd time Ive been there & service has gotten worse!! AND had better empanadas elsewhere! So if you want great service find another place & never know who speaks more than one language these days!!!  Get some cst service training for others I wont step food in that hell hole again!
