Tricoloryork in York

The owners of this little jewel are so friendly and welcoming. I’ve been here a few times now with friends and also with my other half and my dog. The food is cooked in front of you and is clearly all prepped from scratch. There’s certainly a lot of love goes into this food. Delicious Colombian style plantain and arepas… wow!

Ate here yesterday with a group of colleagues. What an amazing discovery. The food is in expensive, freshly cooked, hot. I ordered two empanadas as a starter, thinking they would be small, they were not. At £5 for 2, or £3 each much nicer than a sandwich or a famous sausage roll. I also tried the plantain which was just as good. We all had something different, and not one of was disappointed. I will back, especially for the empanadas.

Excellent service, very friendly, great gluten-free food for all. Delicious too. We had the meal deal of Start, Main and a drink and left full....even teenage boy!

Some of the best food you can find in York. The staff are wonderful and the restaraunt has a homely atmosphere. While it isn’t all the healthiest, you won’t want to miss tricolor. Whenever I’m in York, this is my go to!

Was absolutely delicious!! We had carimañolas, Ajiaco, and Arepa. Everything was really tasty and filling! I'm Colombian, and food felt like the homemade one! The staff was great! Very nice and helpful. I would recommend 100% and if I have the chance I'll definitely come back!

I pop my n here often with my dog for a bite to eat. The food is lovely and the staff are very welcoming it couldn’t be better!

Excellent food and friendly people. Not the healthiest option - everything is fried - but it's prepared very well and is delicious. Veggie options are also great, both for vegans and vegetarians. The upstairs seating area has been much improved since Tricolor first opened and is pleasant to spend time in. If you're having Arepas, do eat in, though described as street food they can be tricky to eat outdoors without the filling spilling out. The comment below on vaping prompted me to write this review. Much as I dislike vaping, calling it a food safety hazard and giving the restaurant one star because of it, is just plain mad/self-indulgent and definitely not deserved by the hard working and lovely people who run this establishment.

We were really looking forward to eating at Tricolour as we had heard really positive reviews, but upon reaching the premises we decided to cancel our visit. The reason for this was that a the man who went into the cafe seconds before us immediately sat down at a table on the ground floor next to the kitchen area and began vaping. Given that this person immediately sat at a table without going to the counter suggests that he was a member of staff or a friend of the staff. I am very concerned that the staff at Tricolour think that vaping not only in a cafe but close to a food preparation area is acceptable. I’m sure any prospective customers will agree that this is unhygienic and a good reason to not purchase food from Tricolour (unless you like eating food that tastes of vape smoke).

I do delivery for this restaurant and all the other restaurants in Yotk . I can say after working York for 7 years the owners are about the best you will come across and the food is fantastic

Perfect food and great staff, owner is really helpful and friendly, it’s undoubtedly the best Latin restaurant in York, and probably the north east. I recommend the salchipapas, and pony Malta, something I haven’t had since I was a little kid in Ecuador !

We stopped for a quick lunch and grabbed 2 empanadas (for only £5!) to go. They were super tasty and full of delicious filling. The staff were super friendly and more than happy to tell us about their restaurant and make recommendations for the future. We will be back!

We had the seafood casserole, which was absolutely delicious, and packed with seafood, and the papitas fritas, which was just as tasty as we’ve had in South America. Even though we were full, we had to try the Buñuelos and Chorros with the Dulce de leche along with a Colombian coffee for desert and we were really pleased we did! The staff were very friendly and it has a really relaxed atmosphere. Tricolor is a great addition to the choice of little restaurants in York!

Lovely little restaurant with such a nice atmosphere. Although we only got churros, the rest of the food smelled amazing and the staff were very attentive and helpful. It made us definitely want to go back for food again.

Great place to visit for casual dining. Authentic & tasty food. Fresh & made to order. Lovely staff, happy to chat about their Colombian roots. Would highly recommend. I hope this restaurant does really well!

The hot dog was nice Think the pork dish needs more to it. Tasty but pretty dry . Maybe An egg or some crispy pork belly like Colombians do with bandeja paisa

As a Colombian is always nice to find empanadas ay hand… you must try them! One of my favourite things is that our cuisine has different free from wheat options and you will find a few of them in Tricolor. Have a go and try lechona, empanadas, arepas y buñuelos made by Colombians in Tricolor and don’t forget to ask for a tintico (black americano) Happy to come back to this place which seems to have been doing well moving from a stall to their own place in town.

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic, and an excellent addition to York! My absolute favourites are the lechona and the beef empanadas, accompanied by my go-to drink, Lulo hit. The staff are incredibly attentive and super friendly, always ready to make you feel at home and answer any questions. Definitely worth a visit, and make it regular!

Had the “lechona” pork dish which was essentially small pieces of pork belly served with with rice and 4 small pieces of corn bread. It was very dry needed a sauce or dip small portion for £8.00 took about 15 minutes to arrive. Friendly staff...

I will confess I am no expert in Colombian food, but we wanted to try something different and this was really tasty, we had the empanadas and the chicken rice. We had it delivered through Deliveroo. We would order again.

We tried one of each of the types of empanadas at the time (I think it was chicken, beef, and veggie), as a snack alongside food from other stalls. They were tasty, but really thick and dense, which made for a heavier snack than we...

Very friendly staff. Food is amazing and very well seasoned. Generous and good portions as well. Can't fault anything.

This is from far the best colombian and south american food around the city. Highly recommend it. I will definitely be back soon
