College Point Colombian Restaurant With Cheese Empanadas
Start with cheese empanadas and green sauce at a family-run College Point Colombian restaurant open from 6 AM.
🥟 Empanadas, Bandeja and Breakfast
El Punto Bakery & Restaurant is a warm, family-run College Point Colombian restaurant at 18-27 College Point Blvd, and the fresh cheese empanadas with green sauce make the right first order. Hearty bandeja paisa carries the main course.
Mornings bring huevos pericos and stuffed arepas alongside buñuelos and cafecito. The lunch almuerzo includes options like beef sancocho soup, with the choice to swap rice for salad or have the chicharrón fried on the spot for your plate. Under new ownership, the kitchen also serves Colombian fast food, including burgers and hot dogs, next to the home style dishes.
Doors open at 6 AM every day, closing at 9 PM Monday through Thursday and 10 PM Friday through Sunday. That stretch covers an early coffee and arepa, a weekday almuerzo or a weekend dinner of bandeja paisa in Queens.
