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

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

Had a family Valentine's Day brunch here and it was delicious! The wait staff was friendly and accommodating. 5he place is casual and has nice Columbian decor. We made reservations but they are not required. We stayed almost 2 hours and were not rushed. We were 5 and ordered two arepa avocado toasts, steak and eggs with an additional order to go,, another arepa dish and chicharrones with fries. We each had a cocktail and they were perfect. Total was almost $230. Great food, great service, good value, and great atmosphere. 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

Delicious food! Delicious empanadas. Great happy hour deals in Park Slope. Great service!

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

Second time coming back here just for the empanada sampler! The vegetarian options were outstanding, including the cheese empanadas.

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

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

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

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.

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. The prices are really reasonable and the staff is great. It's a really fun atmosphere and unique menu focused on Columbian cuisine. It's a great place to take guests from out of town. 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

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.

Bogota Latin Bistro - The worst frozen margaritas ever - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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

I made plans to go to Bogota Latin Bistro before a concert at Barclays. I made reservations for my group of 8 on OpenTable. Super easy which I always appreciate.Upon arrival, we were quickly seated even though we had a few people in our group running late. This restaurant had major vibes! Loved the upbeat music and Colombian decor. We started with chicharron, empanada sampler and birra empanada appetizers. I ordered the bandeja paisa for my entree and it was delicious. Don't skimp and make sure you get the chorizo. It was so good. We portion was sizeable so we split it between two people. I wouldn't say it's the most authentic, but it was still very good. The drinks were also on point and our server made sure we were always topped off. Overall a good experience if you're in the area. read more

Bogota Latin Bistro - Steak Skirt Bandeja Paisa - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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

I searched for a place to have dinner before a concert at Barclay center, and I found this cute restaurant that was only an eight minute walk. I would come back just for their empanadas in a heartbeat. The shrimp and guava empanadas were truly delicious with the perfect flaky texture. For my entree ,I chose the Bandeja typica, a Colombian dish I always love, and their version was pure perfection. The dessert was where it felt short, the churros were hard ,and not fresh at all. Overall my mom ,and I loved everything else ; We both agreed we would come back again. Service was incredible as well. read more

Three stars for Grace porque es fenomenal!! Muy attenta. El restaurant lleno y ella aun muy rápida, dispuesta, y profesional. Grace the waitress, was awesome. We had a concert at the Barclay so the restaurant was packed and she made it a point to accommodate. The Colombian picadera was about the best thing on the menu. The arroz con pollo was an epic fail. The pargo frito was bland and i wasn't a fan of the coconut rice with raisins. One spoon was all it took. My husband ordered the breaded chicken and he said it didn't have any flavor. We celebrated my Moms bday and the celebration on behalf of the waiters was really nice. The drinks are way over priced. read more

Food never seems to be bad when I come here. Every experience is always good and there is always a good diverse crowd. Jalapeño margarita is always tasty, have a few. Calamari is absolutely divine, nice thick and crunchy. My only complaint was the ribs should be a little more trimmed, lots of fat on them but aside from that very tasty. The red cabbage salad is a winner as well. The paella was absolutely delicious, I had to bring the rest of it home. The shrimp was fresh and seasoned, mussels not big enough, sausage and chicken were seasoned as well and the rice had all of the flavor. Great vibe a definite neighborhood gem. read more

Good food, but the music can get loud. The portions for the appetizers and mains were big. Tried their seafood paella and the portion was enough for 2-3 people, but it was very good. Not your traditional Spanish paella, but still good and generous with the seafood. The fried calamari was very soft and the portion was big enough for the price. Overall, I had a great time. The staff was friendly and the service was good. The ambiance was nice for an early dinner after work even though the volume of the music was a bit too loud and the food was good. read more
