super perros colombian restaurant

honestly i love hotdogs and one could assume that with such a high rating and the name of the restaurant with hotdog in it this place would be a good choice but as many would say people only post bad experiences is true and i follow suit. waited literally 1hr and 15mins for a mediocre hotdog with fries and top of that it was not even warm. this place is a staple to tallahassee bc of its location and ignorant pallet of freshman students.

if you want authentic colombian food in tallahassee, come to super perros. all the food is generous in portioning with prices that are very reasonable. this is easily one of the best restaurants in tallahassee. - ansel ponce diama

i was not sure what to expect as we pulled into the parking lot of super perros, located at 2010 w. tennessee street.  the outside of the weather-beaten building is, to put it lightly, not the most inviting.  open the front door, however, and an eclectically decorated, bright restaurant is revealed. we were warmly greeted by staff, who told us to sit where we liked.  we chose a booth, and readied ourselves for some colombian eats (there is a sign which advises non-spanish speakers it is “colombia” not “columbia”).

my wife and i went on a slow day. we were the only ones there and after recieving the food we realized why. my wife is 5ft 5, 94 pounds. she ordered their "largest" plate costing 13 and change. the portion was so small she ate it, said it was so so however she was still hungry. we ended up going to another restaurant after. very disappointed.

we were driving through town from st augustine. we're quite the foodies so we're serious about where we eat. well my zomato app was taking forever so the hubby just pulled into this colorful place. it's exterior and interior is charming. but you can tell that it's not a 5 star restaurant. prices were good food was good. i have to say all in all it was great. the menu had a little too many choices... but it was good

mixed feelings. i can't decide if i really like this place or not. i got great, friendly service from my waitress, but the portions are smaller than i expected, and the colombian sodas seem too expensive for just a can with no refills. there is a good variety of hotdogs if you like those, but i don't, so i chose the more traditional colombian flank steak with rice and beans, which was good but the steak is pretty small. overall i would compare it to gordo's based on similar dishes, but the portions are smaller. the empanada was disappointingly small and had little filling. it's hard for someone who hasn't eaten "real" colombian food to judge though, but it isn't one of my top choices in tallahassee.

terrible. their customer service was horrible, they stood around talking while i needed my drink refilled, they had the worst attitude when i simply asked them a question about some of the choices on the menu. it was a horrible experience, one of the worst i've ever had.

customer service is poor. the food is tasty, but the restaurant is cramped and the waiters are not very attentive or friendly.

colombian hideout. beers super cheap-o

legit colombian food

too expensive. i believe we ordered two arepas, two hotdogs, and two cokes. the bill was around 25 dollars. ridiculously expensive plus they charged extra for pinnapple sauce. not very tasty either.

yes, it is a colombian restaurant.... ...just like crazy buffet is a chinese restaurant. colombian food, yes, but lots of good stuff that isn't colombian. i took my daughter there recently, on a saturday. it was quiet and uncrowded. service was average, but not bad. the food was good, but not 5 star. this is not a 5 star restaurant, however, and we were very satisfied with our food. don't remember what my daughter had, but my platanos were very good, just the way i like them. our meals came with rice, naturally. white rice is usually somewhat of an afterthought, a blank canvas for your entree. this rice, however, was good! just like my suegra used to make. honestly, i would go back there just for the rice alone.

got no complaints about super perros at all.

disappointed !!! i had so.... disappointed !!!
i had sobrebariga, empanada, arepa, and pollo a la plancha. the sobrebariga was missing salt. the crust on the empanada was " puerto rican. " everything else was tasteless...
me recomendaron este restaurante, pero la comida y el servicio estuvieron regular. una tristesa para ser un restaurante colombiano.

according to their website , super perros was started by two colombians selling hotdogs and hamburgers out of a street cart. though they’ve stayed true to those roots, they also serve up some genuine colombian cuisine. their menu (make sure to have your volume all the way up for maximum enjoyment) is extensive, offering a full line of hamburgers and hotdogs, as well as ceviche, parilladas, churrasco and vegetarian options. i don’t think any restaurant has a better location than super perros. at the corner of w. tennessee and ocala, it has better visibility than doak-campbell. flanked by two heavily shaded patios, the inside can best be described as garage sale chic meets latino cafe. they’ve got a couple monitors rotating through different menu options, as well as a tv playing what i assume was colombian soccer. the cooler has beer and a full line of south american soft drinks. bandeja paisa i ordered the bandeja paisa, which must mean “meat plate” in spanish. get a look at it. choriz

too pricey for what you get. this was my first time eating colombian food, so i can't say how authentic it was. i can't remember the name of what i ordered, but it was basically a very thin slice of pan-seared steak with sauteed onions served on top of white rice. it came with a small bowl of red beans, a small side salad, and out of a choice of sweet plantains, yucca,or tostones, i ordered sweet plantains.

while i can't complain about the taste, i did feel like the red beans and rice needed something extra. the waiter brought out a cold onion/cilantro/chili salsa, which helped add some extra flavor to the dish.

the other two in my party: one ordered something with chicken and instead it arrived with steak. she enjoyed it anyway, but not sure how they mixed up chicken and steak. also, she ordered a side of yucca, which was disappointing because it was two small pieces of fried yucca. that's it.

the other ordered a colombian gyro (with lamb) with fries. while he said the gyro was good, he was expecting it to have a colombian twist. instead, it tasted just like a greek gyro except for being served with guacamole on the side. the french fries were delicious, though.

for dessert, we shared a lemon cake which was drizzled with chocolate sauce and i think it had shaved white chocolate on top. it was tasty.

i felt like the food was good, but too expensive for the quality of what you get. however, the waiter was friendly and helpful and the service was failry prompt.

our second experience, stopping prior to football game. quick service, good food, fair price. had the paisa perro- large hot dog with shredded, spicy beef and toppings. came w tostonea and was very filling. dining partner had two perros w shredded chicken. came with fries (really good). shared an arepa con cheese and beans as an appy--also good. with 2 beers-$30. definitely would come back

stopped by on the wt to a football game. in and out in less than 45 minutes, tried burgers (columbian and mexican), tostonea and potatoes/hot dogs, all good but would pass on the potatoes/hot dogs next time as they were nothing special. reasonable prices, 2 beers, 2 burgers, 2 sides were $30 incl tip. we will be back to try some of the interesting-looking items
