“ Just met family for dinner here. Great food in large portions. Loved the difference that comes from real (not chain restaurant) food. Server was great and very helpful in making our selections as this was our first experience with Colombian food. We loved everything we ordered. We will definitely return. And maybe for breakfast—which looks so interesting! Seymour/South Knoxville is lucky to have this restaurant! ”

Delicious food, great server ( very attentive to details on our orders), and the music is just right, not too loud, and such colorful, typical decorations...!

“ Mi Querida Colombia is a gem of a restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the festive and lively decor, setting a vibrant tone for our dining experience. The staff greeted us warmly and were exceptionally attentive and kind throughout our visit. The food here is absolutely amazing, with generous portions perfect for sharing. We indulged in the Picada Colombiana, which included a mouth-watering array of steak, chicken, chorizo, blood sausage, arepa, fried yuca, fried plantains, and Creole potatoes—ample enough to comfortably feed three people. We also enjoyed the Bandeja Paisa, a hearty dish featuring fried pork belly, grilled beef, white rice, red beans, a fried egg, homemade sausage, sweet plantains, avocado, and a corn cake (arepa). Each element was cooked to perfection, delivering authentic flavors in every bite. The empanadas were so good. The Goku salad was a fresh and delicious blend of avocado, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. It was the perfect complement to our meal. To quench our thirst, we tried the Jugo Natural de Mango and Jugo de Guava both were incredibly fresh and tasty. For dessert, we savored the Bocadillos de Queso y Guayaba, which were absolutely on point. I also had a Cafe con Leche that I thoroughly enjoyed. If you’re looking for authentic Colombian food, Mi Querida Colombia is a must-visit. Highly recommended—Five Stars! ”
