Marines Empanadas Delicias Colombianis

Had a taste of the Bandeja Paisa at Marines Empanadas Delicias Colombianas in Houston. Overall, the plate was delicious, but the beans were a bit on the cold side. Service was okay, though I believe it could be enhanced with a friendlier waiter. Looking forward to seeing improvements!

Popped into Marine’s Empanadas Delicias for a taste of Colombia, and it was a solid experience. We started with their beef empanadas. Surprisingly large and satisfying, a good start to the meal. The real heavyweight was the Bandeja Paisa: a hearty platter with a line-up that included some well-seasoned grilled beef, pork belly, and a collection of sides that made for a filling meal. The rice and beans, though, were a bit on the bland side – could've used a flavor boost. The Chuleta Empanizada, or breaded pork chop, was just okay – nothing to write home about but did the job. The staff here deserves a shoutout for being quick and friendly, keeping everything running smoothly. While not every dish was a knockout, the service made up for it, leaving me with a decent 7/10 impression. Worth a visit if you’re in the mood for some Colombian eats.

Finally got to stop by after years of driving by this place and it did not disappoint. The service is amazing and the ladies are so sweet with giving recommendations. The combo is an awesome way to try a little of everything. I really liked the beef and English empanadas. They had a nice crunchy outside and were super savory & delicious with plenty of filling. Also love that they have Yerba mate on tap. It’s my favorite tea and I don’t find it available often so it was a nice surprise. Definitely coming back when I’m in the mood for empanadas!
