La Olla

"good taste of their food, I only miss the dough of the empanadas is not the same but their filling is good"

"tl;dr the arepas are small, not what I expected, and the atmosphere was mid. I like the atmosphere, it's what I expected. Very local and things work better if you know Spanish; iykyk. Unfortunately, it was a bit loud and everyone we talked to was a bit too quiet and spoke very fast so it was hard to communicate, even though I know Spanish. It was our first time there so of course we didn't know what to do but it seemed like they thought we did, if that makes sense. As far as the food, everything tasted really good but the arepas...were not arepas like I expected? Don't get me wrong, they were delicious but they were small crispy corn things, not medium sized soft corn things. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯"

"So I have actually been to La Olla many years back in Katy as well as had their food at Colombian festivals. I knew I was in for a treat ! I always get the Avena Fria! (Oatmeal drink) It’s amazing and a sweet compliment to the savory salty food you normally would get at a Colombian restaurant. Next is Salchipapas which is French fries and fried hotdogs together and it’s amazing. Simple but good. Then of course some Bandeja paisa. There is two sizes. I always get the large option Vs the small. It’s heavy and comes with alot of food. I Highly recommend it. You also can’t go wrong with some empanadas too! The restaurant was clean and tidy! The service was good and they spoke English well! Give them a try if you’re in the area! They are my go to for Colombian food !"

"The food was pretty good, no complaints about the taste. The little green salsa was probably my favorite thing in the restaurant. It tasted fresh and lemony and a little spicy. We poured it on everything. I had the arepa as an appetizer and it was decent. The empanadas were very crispy and warm. We went around 2pm and the place was still pretty packed. It stayed consistently busy which could explain why the food took awhile to come out, but our waitress rarely checked on us but she was friendly. I think this restaurant is popular due it being the only Colombian restaurants in the area. Food is overpriced for being mediocre in taste. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t amazing."

"This place has come a long way. I believe the owner started as a waitress and now this place is booming specially during lunch. The staff is awesome and very very friendly. Server Hilda always has a positive attitude and is always moving around making sure guest are happy and we’ll accommodate with their food. This place has teamwork and the cook gets it done! Congrats LA Olla you have come a long way as a Spring Texas favorite with good Colombian food."
