Parche

"The overall experience was very good. The food is great, with the caveat that the salad had a bit too much dressing - next time I will order with the dressing on the side, and that’s my recommendation. Other than that, everything was delicious (salad, non alcoholic drinks), and the service was friendly, attentive and professional. Higher recommended, and a nice addition to the neighborhood"

"I’ve been waiting 10 years hoping someone would bring good Colombian food to the Bay Area, the wait is finally over! My wife and I are Colombian and we couldn’t have been more delighted celebrating our anniversary at Parche. The service was fantastic, shout out to Ted who made sure we had a great experience, gave us great recommendations, and introduced us to chef Juan. Parche exceeded all our expectations! Regarding the food, we loved everything we ordered, the Chef achieved the elusive perfect balance of elevating the dishes while retaining the authentic essence and taste: We had the empanadas de ajiaco to start, which are a perfect marriage of the two dishes they’re named after, and it’s genius! (Ajiaco is a Colombian soup Colombians love, and to put it in an empanada ♥️). The Arepas with shredded beef and quail eggs were delicious, and made us feel at home, and finally the Cocada fish was a marvelous bringing all the taste from the Colombian coastal region. We closed the meal with the torta de almojábana which just took us to heaven and back. As a final note, the Bar is amazing, we had two drinks with Colombian fruits like Lulo and Guanabana that were beautifully prepared. Huge thank you to the parche team, I highly recommend this place and will most certainly be back to try the rest of the menu!"

"Our first time trying Colombian food and it was delicious. Cute neighborhood, lovely friendly service. I definitely understand why it's Michelin recommended. The lunch menu has an excellent selection, keep in mind the dishes are very hearty. I definitely want to come back for dinner. The lechon appetizer with yucca fries was addicting, especially with the sauce. My favorite dish was the Arepas con Chocolo, it tasted like the freshest corn and the cheese perfectly balanced the sweetness. The pulled pork rice dish was yummy, Chicharrónes were a little salty and the anise Arepas weren't to my personal taste but done very well."
