Maybe around Los Paisas restaurant in Pineville? At least for starters and to get ideas of other locations. I do believe there is a Colombian community here in Charlotte, although it may not be a large one.

Try the areas along Central , South Blvd. , and basically anywhere on those sides of town. Disregard the previous comment , it was made in poor taste.

never heard of that place, ive only been to los paisas in pineville and the bakery on south blvd by arbys. And sorry i think the title was a little misleading, colombians dont usually all live in one area like other hispanics, or like in queens. i meant where are they as in, pop in say hello and what youre up to kinda thing... thanks anyway
