Awesome Colombian food, drinks and pastries... It is a shame that they had to close. They went back to Las Tablas but you cannot get the same pastries and menu anymore. It was a very nice little coffee place, great atmosphere, reminded me of home in Colombia. Would love to see them re-open someday.
I just love this place - never ever walk away feeling let down . Best empanada in the city !!!!!
When your Taste of Chicago stand sells 100,000 empanadas in two years, you start to think maybe you should open a restaurant devoted to those piping-hot pockets of joy. That's precisely the idea that occurred to the now-owners of this relaxed, mocha-walled Colombian coffee and empanada shop in Lakeview. Seven varieties of empanadas (from spicy chipotle mozzarella and seasoned ground beef to...
All of my friends I've brought to Las Tablas agree that the empanadas here are the best in Chicago, and now that Macondo is open we can get them to go anytime.

If you get addicted to Macondo's signature coffee blend, never fear: You can buy it by the bag and make it at home every morning.
In addition to the signature blend, you can also purchase fair trade coffees from eight Colombian micro-regions, as well as fair trade products like woven straw hats and bags in the restaurant's small retail area.
The empanadas come two to an order for $2.50, and as the price suggests, they're pretty small. If you're making a meal out of them, order a couple of varieties or add a house salad or a side of beans or rice.
