Reviews For El Pueblito Restaurant

I went here to introduce my friend to Colombian food and we were both very impressed. Delicious and freshly made empanadas. Our bandeja dish was very filling. Prices were very reasonable. The staff was friendly and the space was small and intimate with nice decorations. I am absolutely coming back here if I crave Colombian food in Bridgeport.

Wow! It's a real trip to Colombia. From the delicious aromas to the music is great experience. The service from the lady was very warm, like family.

It had been a long time since we visited this place but like last time it didn't disappoint. There was probably more food than anybody could eat, but plenty was accompanied by delicious! We went there on a Sunday evening and there were plenty of people there already. The service was a little slow and I think it was due to the types of food that we ordered (some dishes are a lot more elaborate than others). If you love tradicional latin-americas food, this is the place for you. The "Bandejas" are a true Smorgasbord of food. It might be a little on the pricey side for a large family but a great place to take your significant other.

At this point I've had most of the dishes on the menu. The soup of the day is my favorite choice along with their massive salad. Everything washes down well with a fresh Sangria. Next, I'm trying all the empanadas.

You can't tell from the outside but this little restaurant is a gem. The authentic Colombian food is tasty, hot and fresh. I haven't gotten a meal here that I don't like! The bunuelos , empanadas, bandeja montanera were all very good!

I ate here seven years ago when I was in town for work and I still dream about that meal. It was so delicious. I would come back to Bridgeport just for that meal

I had one of the best Mojarra Frita from this place. The flavor, the crispiness of the fish, everything was perfect. When you first walk into the restaurant, it feels like the ones in Colombia that I’ve visited. The food tastes exactly the same. It’s always amazing to have food that matches. This restaurant is truly a gem. I can’t wait to be back. The only downside (which is not the restaurant’s fault) is that finding parking is difficult. It’s definitely worth it to eat here or order take out.
