Now, the food is a different story. There were 4 of us in the party and two out of the four entrees were disappointing. I had the carne llanera and this was by far the weakest dish out of the 4. The other plate that was ok, but not great was the churrasco montañero. The meat was not a good cut and had way too many fatty pieces. The entraña à la parrilla was by far the best of the 4. This one was well cooked and flavorful and a great cut of meat. The second one was the pechuga encebollada, this one was very good and the caramelized onions were perfectly cooked. We also had the empanada appetizer which was very good as well. The service wasn't bad, but they did get one of the orders wrong and we were half way through our dinner before the correct dish arrived. Rancho Mateo is a beautiful restaurant in a great location, but the inconsistency in the quality and flavor of the food makes it a one-and-done experience for me. There are much better options for Colombian food in the area.

But please know that they always add service fee, be careful when they don't present you with the paper receipt & just bring you the machine, they might ask you if you want to add the tip & I feel like that is deceiving because they know they already add it to the total. It happened to us and when we got the paper we realized we gave them extra tip.

Their rice and beans are also well seasoned, flavorful, and definitely prepared with love. This area has a lot of choices for Colombian food, but Palo Alto has to be one of the best restaurants in this area.

If you like Colombian cuisine, I highly recommend Palo Alto. And if you've been meaning to try it, this is an excellent place to start.

Empezamos con unos jugos naturales y mini empanadas que estaban increíbles y fueron la manera perfecta de comenzar la comida. Yo pedí la bandeja paisa y mi esposo el salmón hawaiano, y ambos platos estaban espectaculares. Se nota que preparan la comida con mucho cuidado y buena presentación. De postre pedimos una ensalada de fruta y un chilado, y honestamente fueron el final perfecto para la comida. Todo sabía fresco y auténtico. El ambiance al igual que el service también fue muy agradable y algo que nos gustó mucho es que tienen estacionamiento en la parte de atrás. No es un estacionamiento enorme, pero sí suficiente y hace la visita mucho más cómoda. Definitivamente volveríamos y lo recomendamos si buscan buena comida colombiana.

I also tried their sugarcane juice with lemon, which was a nice refresher that reminded me of a lightly sweetened lemonade. Overall an affordable and delicious meal.
