    Chicken dinner deal is always a hit! It is reasonable priced and you get a de ent size portion.

    La comida es muy buena, aunque es un poco costoso vale la pena por el sazón. Buen servicio y un buen ambiente

    The food and service are amazing Thanks to cashier holder…read more Nice service The music too

    My lovely wife and I decided to have lunch at El Fogon de Elena on a very busy Sunday. This is a…read moresnug Colombian restaurant on Lawrence just a tad east of Kedzie. So our server stated that our first-choice food selections were not available (steak jibarito and beef arepa) so instead we then ordered empanadas (one beef, one shrimp) and the chuleta valluna. We noticed that the kitchen was slingin' some massive plates of food, so we decided to split the one entree and the empanadas. Well the server comes along and says they are out of shrimp empanadas. How can a restaurant be out of so many food items when it is barely past 1PM? We decided to do just the single entree and the single empanada. I also ordered a can of Inca Kola (good stuff, though I had to beg for the drink after our food was served), and we did get some ice water. The beef empanada was AOK, not bad. The chuleta valluna features a massive flattened breaded pork chop along with many items (rice, fries, yuca fries, tostones, yellow potato, salad). The menu mentioned this dish would also have sweet plantain, but perhaps the yuca fries were a sub for the sweet plantain. I gotta admit, the food overall is pretty good. The service from the staff was pleasant, but there was always something "off" during our dining experience. When the bill came, we were charged for the shrimp empanada that was not being served, so we had to ask for a corrected bill to deduct the missing empanada. Overall we had extremely mixed feelings about our lunchtime here. Perhaps it was just a super busy day here, but I am feeling overly generous with my three-star review.

    What do you get when you fuse a South American Country's food with a well known Central European…read moreCountry's food? You get Polombia, one of the only (that I know of) restaurants that brings together Poland and Colombian cuisine. I had gone to their former location in the now closed Washington Food Hall and enjoyed the cuisine immensely....but a couple weeks ago, I went to their current location in the Ogilvie Train Station within their food court. This time around, I decided to play it safe and try their paczki burger that of course has a Colombian twist. The bun itself was the paczki part but the inside it had an angus patty with melted cheese, sofrito, pickled slaw, and a garlic and tomato Aioli. It also had pickles in it too. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty and satisfying the burger was. It was neither too sweet nor too savory....something that I'd try again in a heartbeat. Check this location out. But note that its towards the back of the food court and could be easily missed. They also have a stand at Rate Field, Home of the Chicago White Sox.

    I was curious about this spot mostly because it confused me. After eating there, it still confuses…read moreme. I got the empierogis (what a cute portmanteau). I thought it would be like a pierogi with Colombian spiced filling. After waiting for some time, I got a plate of pierogis topped with braised beef. What I got what very meaty and good, but not all what I was expecting. The portion was ample and the pierogis themselves were quite good. I don't love huge portions of just meat, but for someone who does, this spot delivers in spades. While the service was friendly and helpful, they were quite slow, especially for a lunch spot in a food hall.

For a main I got the entraña steak - a classic South American style skirt steak/churrasco which was wood-fire grilled and absolutely fantastic. The bandeja paisa was great too (I didn't order it but stole a few bites). All washed down with a pitcher of refajo - for those not familiar, this is a must-try mix of beer, the soda Colombiana, and a few shots of aguardiente, a sugar cane-based liquor that has an anise/licorice taste to it. Staff was nice and welcoming. I'd for sure come back here, but they said this location is closing soon. Luckily they have an Irving park location which is the original and I'll definitely go sometime soon.

They expanded the dining area and edit a larger bar area right by the host when you enter The service is familiar and has been consistent since they're opening. They are inviting and recommend the best items on the menu. Colombian steak replicates many of the Latin and southern American flavors with their well spiced and predominantly well done meats. I order it the combination plate which consisted of Colombian sausage, pork belly, plantain, and steak. All delicious and tasty food.
