“ Great lunch, incredible friendliness and service in a wheelchair accessible and open environment. ”
“ Very good colombian food! Loved it. It is difficult to find good Latin American food outside of the continent. I fully recommend it. I had one beef empanada and one srepa with chicken. Delicious ”
“ Best colombian empanadas so far in town! Love the chilli sauce so much! The food portion is pretty big. Tried alot of their dishes and definitely satisfying ”
“ Delicious food, not common in the area or even in Paris. The wait is long but it's very clear beforehand since everything is made to order. It's really great to be able to discover this food for such affordable prices and I highly recommend! (And the 2 pitbulls are so friendly!) ”
“ Never had Colombian food before, but this was definitely the best introduction. We were quite a large group with all different kind of language barriers, but the waiter was super friendly, understanding and kind at all times. Since we didn’t have much of a clue what all the different drinks were, the waiter even offered little cups to try and see what we like. Further, he even gave us a game of domino’s and some drawing stuff for the kids while we were waiting. The food arrived quickly and was just a pleasure to eat. Super delicious and the portions were quite big as well. I usually struggle to get full at restaurants but this wasn’t the case in El Cucho. I can only recommend the dish Choripapa, simply delicious. We will most certainly come back! ”
“ The food was very good but the portions at least were not that big for the prices. The staff is really nice! ”
“ Excellent food and very friendly and helpful service. They have plenty of seating and it’s spacious, which is rare in Paris, but very much appreciated! I’d highly recommend to go again and again!! ”
