Fonda Paisa Bakery And Grocery Store

Stumbled on this place by mistake and glad I did. The service was great as the lady who only spoke Spanish ran to get the only who was bilingual. When the other lady came she was patient and answered all my questions and helped me order some typical Colombian breakfast/food. Because I barely come to that side of Gaithersburg, I got more than enough. Photos below. I also got the strawberry and mango yogurt and they were both so so good! And the other best part os the freshly squeezed orange juice. They have the machine and I saw with my own eyes them squeezing the juice from the oranges. Tasted so so good! What I ordered is called Colombian breakfast on the menu.Oh and they have a mini grocery store inside the restaurant too! How neat! I will return!

Love the empanadas,.but sometimes different empanadas they sold here are salty..They have unfriendly cashier ?‍

The most greasy/oily food ever. I don’t usually complain about a restaurant, at least not enough to write a review about it. However the disappointment I feel as I can’t finish any of my food is a bit upsetting. I ordered the bistec encebollado and it’s dripping of oil. No flavor and dry. I expected better.

Food 10 starsService Neg 8 starsRude and oblivious while customers are standing to wait for them to finish chatting behind the counter.Also; I had my service dog with me (in his Sherpa carrier) , but they felt the need to ask to see his ID card. FYI this is illegal in Maryland.I mentioned this to the staff because I love their food and my family is Colombian, not to be a Karen lol. They brushed it off even after I mentioned the illegal part! I suggested informing the owner but I doubt that will happen so hopefully the owner reads this.Also the baked goods aren’t baked until noon, so if you expect fresh, warm bread with your breakfast it’s not likely.Overall this location made me sad. Colombians are some of the genuinely nicest people around, I hope other customers have better impressions than I did.??

Well, after all the comments I'm totally agree. MOST WE AGREE that the bakery is poor quality over heated hard to eat. Menu is few things looks is not same as the georgia ave. Is sad how the management loose clients and make bad reputation. Last time from the menu they don't have 3 things so we decide to leave. Counter empty and the food containers looks like a trash nothing tasty.
