Must come here just for the Chicharrones de Pollo which are chicken pieces fried to perfection and the meat just melts apart on the inside. The empanadas were also delicious with 3 different veggie options. It's hard to pick a favorite empanada so I always go with the 4 count sample to try 3 veggie & a chicken. They also have a cute little patio area with great service & drinks. read more

Comfortable neighborhood room Bogota Latin Bistro is owned by the group that owns several restaurants in the area. There is a nice bar area and a large seating area. The frozen Margaritas are 2 for 1 during happy hour. Some plates are better than others. The Skirt Steak was very good. The service is attentive. read more

Service: Good. Got checked on regularly by friendly staff: Ambiance: loud, colorful, probably a good fit for a loud drunk brunch vibe. A lot of seating and a back area with fans. Food: This place is quite bad. We ordered the tortilla soup and the vegan tofu chimichurri. The tortilla soup was inedible it was so salty. The tofu was grilled and entirely burnt on the bottom. I had to slice the entire bottom off. The chimichurri sauce was flavorful. The yellow rice side seemed like bagged instant rice. The maduros were good. Did not try the alcohol but they had a large selection including non alcoholic options. The place adds a 20% auto gratuity fee. Kind of absurd on a 2 person check. I am Latina so perhaps I have a higher expectation for Latin food but I'm perplexed at how this place could have such high ratings, perhaps it was just a bad night. I would never go back and would not recommend. read more

Went with a group after we had a tour of the Greenwood Cemetery. We had our own room bring it was 50 women. The service was excellent, the ambiance was true to culture. We started off with a dip sampler along with homemade chips. The dips were freshly made and tasted delicious. Afterwards we had an avocado salad and Platanos Rellenos The main course was yellow rice, black beans. This was served with veggie tacos, Ropa Vieja ( shredded beef) and Plantain Crusted Chicken. Everything was served family style and more than enough food per table. For dessert we had Churros that you can dip in chocolate or caramel sauce. Everything was delicious. read more

The food is impressively delicious... save yourself the trip to Colombia, Bogota is right here in Brooklyn. The food is well seasoned, prepared and plated. Service is above average the entire staff are welcoming and accommodating. Waitstaff is very menu knowledgeable and willing to assist with dietary needs. As much care and concern went into decorating as it did with the menu. Colombian pride is on full display from curb appeal to the restrooms. Seating is plentiful and can accommodate medium sized groups. But this is definitely a great date spot. Even the bar area has it going on it that's what you prefer. Yummy Tummy! read more

There's a special through September for $3 empanadas and $5 select cocktails -- makes for a perfect casual night out. The empanadas were bigger than I expected and I appreciated the variety of options. My favorite was the chicken -- the wrapper was super crisp and paired with the different salsas, the savory, textured bite was the perfect accompaniment for my frozen marg and pina colada! The cocktails were also delicious, albeit a twinge sweeter than I'd like. Would happily come back though to try more items! Tons of indoor and patio seating, would work really well for larger groups, and the staff was super friendly and quick! read more

Total was almost $230. Great food, great service, good value, and great atmosphere. read more

Ordered from here on a whim and I'm beyond happy I did! What a flavor bomb every bite was. Wow. Ordered the rotisserie chicken with garlic sauce and got it with yellow rice and tostones. (9 out of 10) Also tried the empanada sampler which came with four empanadas of my choosing and tried the Beef, shrimp, chicken, and birria. (8 out of 10) I mean this sincerely... everything was beyond flavorful. The rotisserie garlic chicken had to be my favorite bite of the night but each empanada included in the sampler was crispy, tender, and decadent; each one leaving its own individual mark. Seriously blown away and might even had to stop in to try the food at the restaurant next time. Can't wait to see order from here again! read more

Found myself here on a late Sunday night, I was just glad something was open after my super late train ride. The drink was pretty stellar. It was sweet and fun. This felt like the kind of place where any of the drinks you order would've been great, so try which ever one sounds good to you. The arroz con pollo was a loaded plate of food, yet so balanced! The veggies and the beans were fresh and filling. The caramelized plantains added a sweet touch to the plate. I really liked the salsa that came on the side because it added spice. read more

Angel was our server and was INCREDIBLE! Miguel at the bar is a legend there and helped our 6 top party settle in. The red sangria is my absolute favorite, recipe has stayed consistent for the 20 or so years the establishment has been open. Huge fan of the street corn and black bean dip, tho this round was a lot saltier than usual-- there was NO lack of consistency at the bar. So grateful for this beautiful Park Slope staple, thanks for having us-- Bogota! read more

Must try: Oxtail Stew and Frozen Mojito! Why: Loved the Oxtail Stew - fall off the bone, juicy, tender, and slightly fatty deliciousness! I mixed the stew with the rice and found so much happiness in each bite. The house salad and dressing were also on point. My friends and I also enjoyed Chips & Guac, Empanada Sampler, and Tostados - everything was tasty! I washed it down with the Frozen Mojito, which also brought me so much joy! I never had a Mojito that was frozen and was blown away. Notes: Large restaurant with neat decor and lots of tables. Great for small and large groups. We originally went to the sister restaurant Miti Miti but they were full and called over to Bogota to reserve a table. Walking into Bogota the hostess was expecting us and seated us immediately. They were also packed for dinner. Our waitress was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Overall, awesome dining experience with friends. read more

Always a good spot for drinks and tasty food. If you are coming after work or dinner make sure a reservation as it can get buzy. I went for lunch on a Friday and it was fairly empty. The lunch special was a great deal an appetizer and entree some with an upsell. We went with the salad, beef empanada, fish tacos and ropa vieja with black beans and rice. And we ordered the cocktail special the lychee martini . I took off a star since normally service is great but our server today was abrupt and rushing us. I barely sat down and came by twice asking if we were ready to order. Maybe he was going in break but literally 4 tables were seated. The ropa Vieja was slightly bland so wouldn't order again my next visit. read more

This is always a great go to spot for lunch. They have a great lunch special that is affordable a filling. I recommend the pernil and the red beans. It had the right amount of seasoning and was a large portion. For dessert, I indulged in the guava and cheese empanadas. It was so tasty and sweet. I don't have pictures of all the food I ate but trust me and go grab some lunch as you won't be disappointed. read more

Such a great spot for dinner! If you're craving latin food, make sure to come here. The food does not disappoint. The menu offers a wide latin menu particularly Colombian food. Came here for dinner with a group of 6 on a weekday night and we were seated right away. The vibes are chill and the interior decor makes you feel as if you're eating out on a little getaway. We all ordered platters and the portions were big. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The steak was delicious. Rotisserie chicken was seasoned well and juicy. Grilled chicken was flavorful. Calamari was crispy. Chicharonnes were crunchy. Yellow rice and paella was so tasty. Maduros were the perfect amount of sweet. We all enjoyed our food so much, and we left feeling full and even with some leftovers, which we could not wait to eat for the next day. Definitely recommend and want to come back! read more

I came here for my cousins birthday dinner and we came here last minute however we ended up having a good time. We sat in the back patio which was spacious and heated which is great for cold temps. The only thing was when the heat kicks on its loud real loud which was disruptive. The music wasn't to loud as it allowed us to be able to have great conversation as a large party. The drinks were all good strong and came fast we all got different drinks but enjoyed each one. We got a few different apps some empanadas that were good the guava and cheese was a nice surprise I made everyone try it they liked it also. My cousin had a steak which he did say was good, I had salmon which was crusted and good I enjoyed so much about this place I can't wait to come back. read more

This is my favorite brunch place in Brooklyn. Dinner here is equally amazing. I've been coming here since I moved to NYC in 2007 and I've never had a bad meal, in fact they've all been exceptional.

Great food, great atmosphere. Gf-friendly too. Loved the Colombian-style empanadas and the tortilla soup.

Popped in quickly just for a bite, ended up ordering some appetizers. Empanada, tostones, quesadillas and mexican street corn Omg, all so good, the corn was so good I would have ordered 2 and been satisfied. Quesadillas and empanada was so delicious and fresh, even late at night. Must go back to try the rest of the menu Staff was friendly and helpful read more

Bogota Latin Bistro is a vibe! I stopped by before the Usher concert, and it definitely set the mood. The place feels small when you walk through the bar, but they have plenty of seating options, and the energy is vibrant. The music really adds to the atmosphere, making it a fun spot to hang out. The staff was friendly and accommodating when we asked to be seated inside. Our waitress was nice, but we did have to flag her down a few times since she didn't check in on us as often as we'd like. We stuck to appetizers and drinks, and I have to say, the guava and cheese empanadas and tortilla soup were standouts, definitely 10/10 recommend! The rest of the food was just okay. Even though some of the other appetizers didn't wow me, I'd definitely come back to try their entrees, there's enough potential here to make me want to give them another shot! read more

Excellent food, great service with many GF options and can tell you which are celiac safe.

I've been a regular customer for many years, but no more. I overlooked a delivery of chicken tortilla soup with a broth that had reduced to a salt bomb and contained dry stringy tasteless chicken, and an order of ribs that were 80% fat and gristle. My friends convinced me to try once again in house. I was looking forward to my favorite, "Daisy eggs," which arrived without the red sauce and a yolk the texture of hard grit. The salad was spoiled by swimming in a sea of overly sweet dressing. Service: Yikes! When I went one afternoon for a snack at the bar the place was empty. The bartender said not a word but wandered off for 15 minutes leaving me alone. I walked out. When my friends and I went for brunch we asked for extra chipotle sauce. We never got it. I pointed out that my eggs arrived without sauce and he brought over the menu and pointed out that the eggs come with sauce (which I did not get). There is a mandatory 20% tip added to the bill, so I guess servers just might not care about service. read more

Amazing bartenders! After 3 visits he remembered me and my drink! (Braaaaazilian sangria always!) I went a bit side ways and tried all new things today. *plantain fried chicken (and you can pick 2 sides) with coconut rice (it does come with coconut flakes and raisins) and red beans (pork chucks). Normally i don't eat coconut flakes raisins orrrr pork i just pushed it to the side. The food was phenomenal Miguel is the best. Tip your bartenders. And dessert round 2 of a braaaaaaazilian sangria. I love to sing the subway. Miami get your transportation life together already. The music and ambiance is so chill. read more

One thing I'll say about the service is that they get you in and out! 6:40pm ordered, 6:52pm tostones appetizer came out & 7:12pm my entree came out. 10 minutes between each! Not much small talk, but attentive and I rather spied as I came to eat/ not chit chat. Food- good. Pricey for Latin food (most items $20-30 but not too salty and the happy hour drinks were actually good. I ordered two because they have happy hour 5 days a week all day. Idk if you're really saving at $9/11 for what I'm assuming is well drinks but I enjoyed them! Ambiance- colorful, newspapers with portraits throughout. Fake grass/plants/flowers. Pink accent walls and square tables/ various colored bunks. If it sounds chaotic, it kinda is but in a fun, vibrant way. Best for an outing with a friend in an upbeat environment. Latin music will be playing. read more

Let me start off and say I am regular at Bogota. The vibes, music, and drinks here are always good. Super friendly staff. Came here on a Wednesday night it was not packed. We were immediately seated. Love the décor of this restaurant. Really feels like you are in Columbia. We ordered appetizers along with alcoholic beverages that were on the happy hour menu. We ordered the chicharrones de pollo and the grill street corn. The chicharrones were ok, it tasted a little bland. It could have used some more seasoning. The chicken is served with a cilantro tartar sauce and aji. Now, moving on to the grilled street corn, we did not enjoy it. The corn did not taste grilled. It was covered up in so much mayo and cheese. We wind up not eating the corn after we tried it. For our main course, we ordered garlic rotisserie chicken with a side of white rice and beans. We ordered the shredded pork. The chicken was dry inside. The white rice and beans were good. Now, onto the shredded pork, this had to be my least favorite out of all the things we ordered. The pork was served with so much of that marinated Colombian beer. It was overpowering the flavors of the pork itself. We told our waiter we did not like it, and they replaced the meal with rotisserie chicken with a side of white rice and green plantains. That chicken, too, was dried. "I normally enjoy all the meals I've eaten here, but not on this particular day we went." Honestly, the only thing we enjoyed was our drinks. The corona and strawberry margarita was hitting but not the food. I'm basing this review on my recent visit, not in general. I have enjoyed their food in the times I've been. It could have been a new chef or something. But definitely, the food was off that day. read more
