This is hands down, the BEST Latin food in the area. The staff is phenomenal, friendly and knowledgeable. Their recommendations were 10/10. From the Sweet Plantain Au Gratin, to the Ajiaco and Vegan Power Bowl- we were WOW’d. We will absolutely be back and will recommend this place to everyone. Kelly and Leo you are awesome, keep up the great work!
They have some of the kindest employees who were super attentive even to our group of 6. I enjoyed a Coco Lemonade which was ridiculously refreshing and delicious, then we all shared the large Pan de Queso and it was sweet, creamy, and just perfect. For my man I ate the Bandeja Paisa, this is definitely big enough to share and so yummy. I would definitely recommend this wonderful restaurant!
Came here for brunch with my book club. Food was amazing! Everything was delicious! Staff is super friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. Great breakfast and lunch spot. Definitely stop in if you are in the area, you will not be disappointed!
I tried this place last week after seeing people talk about it on a foodie page and I live within 5 minutes from this place. There was me my wife and two kids, we got a couple different things. I got the chicken soup, at a glance I thought it was pricey it was around $16 but let me tell you, the soup was huge. I’m can eat quite a bit and I struggled to finish it, was full of meat, potatoes and corn and creamy I would rate that 10/10 for the soup as would my daughter she got the same dish. My wife got the breakfast and it was again a good amount of food and she enjoyed it saying you can tell it was cooked to order and not just heated up, my son got the chicken sandwich and he said it was one of the best sandwiches he has had in a while, the presentation on it was really nice also. It’s not the largest of places and I was glad to see they were busy as that’s always a good sign they are doing something right. I would recommend trying this place out, some of the Colombian dishes looked great and I will order those next time.
If you haven’t been to Curuda yet, you’re missing one of the most legit hidden gems in Allen.
This is a true husband-and-wife spot, and you can feel it the second you walk in, everything is intentional, personal, and done with pride. The flavors are straight-up authentic Colombian, but the execution is on another level. It’s not just good… it’s elevated. You can tell they care about every plate that leaves the kitchen.
The arepas, empanadas, and everything coming out of that kitchen hit with real depth—seasoned perfectly, fresh, and not watered down for anyone. It tastes like tradition, but presented like they’re aiming way higher than your typical neighborhood spot.
Service is just as strong. You’re not treated like a table, you’re treated like a guest in their home. That kind of energy is rare.
Honestly, this place deserves way more attention than it’s getting right now. If you appreciate authentic food done right, with heart behind it, this is one of those spots you root for.
I’ll definitely be back, this is the kind of place you want to support.
