Provided by YP.comI have been going to El Colmao for about 15 yrs now. The food is great at a very good price.
The service is ok im am not going to say its great but they try very hard. I can honestly say
that this is one of my favorite Cuban restaurants. I highly recomended the garlic chichen and
Ropa Vieja. The black beans are also very good when mixed with the rice and also El arroz
frito. El batido de Mango is very DELICIOSO. All in all the food is great. I think service is
very important but i take GREAT FOOD AND CLEAN PLACE OVER ANYTHING ELSE....

Provided by YP.comGreat food; however, it was the worst service I ever had. The waitress took our order and we never saw her again; our dirty dishes piled up, and we did not get a refill for our drinks. The next time anyone approched us was after I had to raise my hand like if I was in elementry school; nevertheless, it was not out waitress that came to see what I wanted but someone else. I would not go back to a restaurant were I am not attended and then they have the nerve to ask for a tip.

Provided by SuperpagesThis is the best tasting Cuban food I have ever tasted in my life. I've been to other Cuban restaurants, but this one, by far, and hands down, has them all beat. My favorite dish is the Ropa Vieja ("old clothes"), which is shredded beef in a wonderful sauce with vegetables and it's so flavorful and tender, served with white rice and black beans and platanos (sweet fried bananas) on the side. They have other wonderful dishes too, but that happens to be my personal favorite. Wow, it makes me hungry right now to think of it, so I think I'm going to make a stop when I get off work to satisfy my tastebuds at my favorite Cubano restaurant!! If any of you have never been to this place, CHECK IT OUT 'cause you will not be disappointed. The food is fabulous! (La comida esta rico!)

Provided by SuperpagesI Have been going there since it open their doors back in 1969... There are days when the service isslow but the food is worthwhile. I 'm pretty familiar with the L.A. surroundings of Cuban Restaurants starting from Downey, Glendale, Burbank ,Culver City and South Bays Restaurants and I have to say this is one of the Best.
