A small family friendly restaurant with delicious food, empanadas are the best we've had from a Colombian restaurant. We ordered a bandeja paisa, fritanga, sancocho de cola y pan de bono jugo de mora y lulo en agua. Parking is spacious because the restaurant is within a plaza along with other businesses, the dinning area is somewhat small to accommodate large crowds, however we did see people ordering a lot of take out. The owners are sweet and kind people. A very hardworking family ❤️

The Colombian Empanadas are AMAZING! However, the interior needs a major upgrade but the food is good.

I've been coming here since I was a kid, Don Jose is super friendly and everything is made to order and on point! Whether it's a bandeja paisa or the pandebono, you FEEL Colombia in every bite. There aren't many Colombian spots in the SGV, Peppe's is a staple for amazing Colombian comfort food!
