Kelly was our server and she was so awesome. Food was fantastic. Very generous portions, flavor is on point and the music was great. We were visiting from the west coast and my husband is Colombian and this was by far the best restaurant in Orlando. We will be back next time we're in town forsure! read more

Came here with a large group for a birthday lunch and it was great! The service was quick and friendly, the food was great, and they brought out a slice of tres leches and sang to the birthday boy. It was a great experience and would definitely recommend! read more

Oh my we stumbled upon this place. We speak zero Spanish which we thought could be an issue but it was not. Every bit of our experience was amazing! The place itself was very clean and cute. We went between lunch and dinner and we were seated quickly. We ordered the corn cake with cheese and the avocado stuffed with shrimp for appetizers. They were so good! And I do not even like corn meal! I had the red sangria and my husband had a Long Island ice tea. He was worried about the drink when the bartender was reading the a recipe card - but he enjoyed it. I ordered the steak salad and he had one of the combo platters. Even despite the language barrier the service was great. We really enjoyed our experience and so glad we Tried something new. Highly recommend it! read more

Insanely delicious food options, drinks and ambiance are what you'll find at @aguardienterestaurante Their menu options are an homage to Colombian cuisine with everything ranging from their classic empanadas to bountiful picanhas (what we ordered!), and don't even get us started on their cocktail menu. 4 stars were given for service because although initially our server was very attentive, he eventually left to attend a large party and left us hanging for a good 25-30 to close out our bill. We ended needing to have him located by another server to have him come back to finish our service. Something that the establishment management might want to monitor more closely in the future. Overall, amazing ambiance, food and entertainment. * They are located in : 11048 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32821 read more

I like Columbian food so I decided to try this place. Well Walking in, no one speaks to you. The servers just walk past you without asking do you need help or anything. I was able to stop someone and ask if there was a wait and she said it's an 1hr and a half wait. So of course I decided to wait because I'm curious on the taste of this food. At first glance I thought maybe it's full because of the food, but after continuing looking around no one was eating. People were just taking up tables watching the game lodging in the seats. What type of restaurant allows this? I can understand if you're eating and watching the game but just to be taking up seats just to watch a game and not ordering anything boggles me. Well I waited and decided to order a drink while I wait. This kola I ordered has a very bad after taste. Very very loud inside. Finally got a table after an hour and the waiter was nice. Even though it was super loud with the music, it was very nice to listen too. But conversation at the table could not happen because of the live DJ music so we just danced in our seats until the food came out. I ordered a strawberry daiquiri non alcoholic and it was tasteful with a slight fruit after taste but no bad. Chicken is dry. The shrimp had a fishy taste and no seasoning. The French fries were good. The plantains were very good. Need some sauce to top over the chicken if it is served dry and tasteless. Not my favorite. read more

I'm a Colombian and this was not proper Colombian food. The empanadas were not fresh so they weren't crispy, the arepa de choclo con queso was too sweet and dry, and my friends who ordered the pollo a la plancha, bistec a caballo & a bandeja paisa were also disappointed. It lacked in flavor and finesse. Was disappointed. read more

I always noticed this place driving by to and from the Orange County Convention Center. It is on International Drive on a strip mall. Lots of parking right in front. After a late night at the convention center, we wanted to just sit down, have a cocktail (or 2) and a bite to eat. We didn't have much options since it was late and most places were closed or would be closing soon. I checked the hours for Aguardiente and they were open til 10pm that night . There were still a good amount of patrons in the restaurant when we got there but were seated immediately. The ambiance was more like a restaurant/bar setting. Lots of big screen TV's. It was a bit on the louder side but manageable. While deciding what to order, we noticed while looking around that many tables were ordering a dish which was heaping of food. After inquiring from our waitress, we were told it was the Picada. There were 2 types of Picada and you have a choice of size for either 2 or 4 people. The amount of food for the Picada for 2 was HUGE. It came with several items such as steak, chicken, sausage, plantains, yuca. It was served with a pico de gallo. We also had the Lomo De Res Salteado which was a steak dish in a savory broth with some red onions, tomatoes, bell peppers and green onions. It was delicious and also a big portion. It came with fries (which was added to the same plate with the steak and broth so I would recommend asking for it on the side so it doesn't get soggy -unless y'all like it that way!) in addition to the fries, it came with 2 more sides. We also ordered the empanada appetizers. Good amount to share and tasty! The food was excellent, the portions were huge. We all had take home boxes for our left overs. Our waitress was very attentive. I would definitely go back next time I am in the area! read more

Everyone loved their meals. Simply smashing and drinks were perfectly made as well. Quick service and not super packed.

It was delicious! We enjoyed the food and the service. The food was great. We ordered ribs.

Had the best experience here at Aguardiente Colombian Steakhouse! Our server Kevin was helpful with his service and recommendations. The ambiance was fun and enjoyable. The food was delicious! We ordered their empanadas and a Picada for four ($70), that honestly can be served for 6! read more

Colombian food is definitely one of our go to's, especially with the Colombian other half in the family. We were originally looking for some sancocho or Ajiaco which are Colombian stews/soups. They did not have it here, but we figured we would try their steaks since that's in their name. We ordered the picada for two. We have had this many times at different Colombian Restaurants. Here they cut everything up in pieces, and stack it up to look extra mountainous like the mountains in Colombia. This looks pretty eye catching, yes, but with cutting it up, it loses it's hot temperatures. When we received the food it was luke warm, and soon became cold. This picada which includes chicken, steak, sausage, morcilla, tostones, fried bananas, and white arepa are smoked and have no other flavor, but a smoked flavor. This flavor is not appetizing for either of us. We ate some none the less and have the rest for leftovers. We all know that Latinos love their music and that's why we came here as well. The music was not good and the singer was muffled like his mouth was too close to the microphone as if he was eating the microphone. It wasn't pleasing and entertaining. This place ended up full inside and out with groups of family and friends and everyone enjoyed their company. I don't think they could hear their own conversations because it was too loud. Their drinks looked good and eye worthy, but I didn't have one. I don't live close and I know for sure we wouldn't be back. Lastly, our service was okay. They spoke all Spanish which I was perfectly fine with, but just to let u know in case u don't speak any Spanish, you can always point. read more

This place used to be called Rancho Mateo and now is call Aguardiente Colombian Steak House..... don't know the reason why is changed, is has the same concept as before, small changes are visible such the menu now is condensed, before the menu was very large and honestly I rather this one, it's easy and has everything you need from the authentic Colombian cuisine. The other change is the look inside the restaurant, it used to have a spade in the middle where they had a band show on the weekend, now that spaced is filled with more tables and. The food is very tasty and the staff are always very friendly and fast. I recommend this place. read more

This place was right across the street from my hotel and I didn't want to take Uber so the short five minute walk was perfect. It was Sunday night and plenty of table seating but I sat at the bar with the friendly locals. The bartender did not speak English but we were able to communicate with the help of the other patrons. Everyone was very nice and the restaurant got busy as the evening went on. They did not have music that night but I bet it could be loud as other yelpers had mentioned. The owner was very kind and checked on us a lot and made sure we were happy with everything. The drinks were good and the food was too. I was craving salmon and it was well prepared. We tried the highly recommended seafood sauce and it did not disappoint. I would not exactly call this a steakhouse, but authentic tasty food, a relaxed atmosphere and a fun indoor/outdoor bar. Definitely check this place out, I really enjoyed it! read more

The service was good, Juan David was attentive! And the ambiance was fine, they were playing live music. But the food was not good. Both plancha de pollo and chuleta tasted old and the rest of the food was bland. For how much they charge it's not worth it at all. There's far more better Colombian restaurants down orange blossom trail! read more

Food was good but lacked flavor . Big portions , you can get Colombian beer , waitress was friendly , biggest issue - way overpriced on many entrees - having lived in Medellin , the prices were a bit of a shock - other Colombian restaurants somewhat close that are a much better value Good Colombian music - I believe they have live music on the weekends - probably better to go for drinks and apps read more

The food is good, real Colombian taste. Service is decent very casual and traditional black t-shirt and black pant. The ambience I would say is more to have fun than a memorable dinner. Taking all this in consideration is a place to eat good in a very very casual environment. read more

I've been here 4 times. Besides being here with Gringos like myself, I've been here with a Colombian and Ecuadorian person. Everyone gave it a thumbs up. I usually get the lomo de cerda (pork loin pounded into a flat steak). Others have had dishes with shrimp and chicken. There's music on the weekends (possibly in the evening during the week but I can't confirm that). Service and atmosphere were nice. It's my favorite Latin restaurant. read more

3 starts because the place was so loud!! If you want to go to a place to share with family, talk & hang out, this is not the place to go. If you go just to eat but no talking, this place is for you. The food was on point, service was lacking a little bit, we literally had to chase our server. I won't go back unless they control the music, it was great singing but it was uncomfortably crazy obnoxiously loud. read more
