My fiancé and I had such a great experience at Divina Colombian Cafe! I ordered the carne asada plate, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. We also got an order of empanadas for the table, and they were a huge hit. Crispy on the outside and packed with savory filling inside! My fiancé had the bandeja paisa and said it was a 10/10. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. On top of the amazing food, the owners are such a kind and welcoming family. You can really feel the warmth and care they put into both the food and the atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

My BFF and I wanted to try something new so we hit this spot up for brunch. I have had arepas before but really haven't tried authentic Colombian food before!! This is kind of in a sketchy part of town, but worth a visit. We started off with a beef and a chicken empanada to share - These were fried and different than the Spanish ones I have had elsewhere. They were so good. I really liked the green salsa that was paired with it. On the recommendation of the waitress, we both got cafe de ariquipes which were coffees with caramel. They were sweet, but not overly so, which is the way I like it. We also got the bandeja paisa plate that was just ok. We felt the meat was on the dry side but the standouts were the plantains. We also got an order of the cheese arepa and asked for more hot sauce... She hooked it up with their homemade salsa which was so good and fresh tasting. That sauce is so good. All in all, a tasty spot. I'd come back to try some other things. read more

I had really high hopes for this place But when I first walk in I could notice how the restaurant was filthy, table were stick dirty. And I kept telling my husband we should go. Because if the restraint was that dirty imagine how bad was the kitchen and how they were making the food But serve anyone bad meat. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE CLOSED DOWN . read more

I was excited to try this spot. I had delicious arepas in Colombia and I had the same expectation of taste. The arepas here was $15 and very small, bland and very dry. It was hard to swallow and I couldn't salivate because it was bland. I won't return. read more

Great place! Very welcoming and dog friendly. The food was great, Chicharron and yuca con chicharron is perfect! Nice salt amount and the crunch The family said the picada was delicious! I picked at it and i agree! The chicharron and plantains were my favorite. Empanada was so crisp and delicious! The kids ate up the plates they got before I could get a picture but my absolute favorite was the lemonade! Every time I see fresh lemonade on the menu I have to have it and this one is probably the best I've had in a very long time! Very refreshing, perfect amount of sweetness and tart. They even brought out a bowl of water for Otis! Everyone there was so nice and came to say hi to our pup. Very hospitable! Definitely a place to try! We'll be back. Otis read more

Divina Colombian Café - Bandejita Paisa - Cafes Near Me - Sacramento, California

Divina is an authentic Colombian restaurant, with great Colombian dishes like bandeja paisa, empanadas, and salchipapa. It is, as far as I know, the only authentic Colombian restaurant option in Sacramento. The decor is also genuinely Colombian including the rana game booth in the entrance. Service is friendly and the food is very good. read more

I definitely want to give this place another try. The items I got were to-go so I will eat in next time and compare. Everything was pretty good, but felt like it was missing something. I got empanadas, an arepa, and the hot dog. Everything was decent, but felt like there was a sauce or slaw missing. The empanadas were nice and crisp, but a bit greasy (this could be due to getting them to-go). The arepas had a good mouth feel, and the Chorizo was tasty, but felt like it was missing a slaw or sauce. The hotdog was topped with cheese and mayo. Service was quick and the girl working the cash register was nice. It's a big restaurant with plenty of seating, and the decorations are cute. I'll be back to try more dishes and again, try the meal fresh rather than to-go. read more

I didn't get any pictures! Please support locally when you can! They need us to survive. This restaurant is decorated so adorably! There is also plenty of FREE parking in their private lot. I picked up some empanadas last week! We got beef, chicken, and potato. All were delicious. The pastry seemed like it was corn meal based. They were crispy and so flavorful! Our waitress was so kind. She was so busy, but she was very attentive to everyone. read more

My first time ever trying Colombian food and wow. It's good. Now if your use to eating Mexican food like I am. you will notice the difference. Colombian food here tastes to me as very clean and healthy. I felt amazing afterwords no crash and I felt light but full. The inside was cute! And decorated nicely and staff were very friendly. read more

In a nutshell; good exposure to Colombian cuisine and a hint of their culture. Pleasant experience. A good amount of options on their menu, their empanadas and their arepas seem to be their bread and butter or specialty per say and they are delightful. Their hot chocolate was also pretty good and paired with a croissant and the cheeze/butter provided was magical. The server was nice and accommodating. It did get rather busy at some point and a time where I did have to get their attention for some waters but an understandable pass for how it got busy. Overall pleasant experience, don't mind trying it again if around the area and wanting some Colombian cuisine. read more

We went to Devina close to closing time, so it was pretty empty and we were able to sit wherever we wanted. The atmosphere is lively and fun, with colorful, festive decor that gives off a true Colombian party vibe. The service was excellent--friendly and attentive. I noticed they have live music on some nights, which looks like a great time, especially with the mini stage set up. We started with the empanadas, which were delicious. I ordered the arepa de chorizo and thoroughly enjoyed it--it was flavorful and generously sized. Between that and an empanada, I was full. My husband had the pollo a la plancha and liked it as well. I was a little disappointed not to find the kind of picada I was looking for on the menu. They did have a large, shareable version, but I was hoping for a smaller option that one person could enjoy--especially one with French fries as the base. That said, I'd definitely like to come back and try more of the menu. There's a lot I'm curious to explore! read more

Wow! I got the beef filled Arrepa and my son got the Salcipapa (hot dog and fries. My son said it was amazing the way they cooked the hotdog and fries were amazingly potato favored. The Arrepa was crunchy and soft with a great corn flavor. The beef was shredded well seasoned and the cheese added that salty goodness. The lemonade is for real!! Delicious I had two!! It's not something from powder, nothing super sweet and fake. My sister had yuca fries and a potato empanadas. The yuca fries were crazy good. Light crust crunchiness with a creamy sweet texture inside. The dipping sauce was briny cucumber or something so delicious. It took a sec to get seated but the waitress was gorgeous so she gets a pass. The food took a minute to come out but I'm Latin so we expect to hang out and get to chat. That's what we do! The seating and vibe was festive, lively music going. I felt like I was back in Colombia. read more

I'd love to give this place a 5, but the location and inside of the restaurant bring it down a notch. It's in a rougher part of Sacramento, and the interior looks old and a bit on the dirty side. That said, the flavors are definitely worth trying! Big shoutout to the young woman who helped me with my to-go order, she was an absolute sweetheart and super helpful. I ordered both chicken and beef empanadas. The chicken was my favorite, especially paired with the salsa they provided, it was delicious. I also tried the Colombian coffee, which was just okay. If you can look past the location and ambiance, you'll find some great flavors here! read more

Gave this place a second chance because I didn't get to try the food 5 months ago. My friends really wanted to try so I gave in. They warned us the food woukd take 45 minutes. So wanted to start of with the yucca frita con chicharron and 2 bandeja paisa. 2 limonades and an agua De panela. It took 30 minutes to get our drinks and 2 hours to get our food!! We were strongly considering just leaving and canceling at that point because the place wasn't even busy there was 5 other tables besides us with like 4/5people on each and some of them were already eating. On top of that our server never checked on us. I feel like this place has A LOT of potential but its just lacking the management both FOH and BOH. This place can be clean and organized the floors were dirty and they tell you to sit where ever you like and walk away BUT all the tables are dirty and I feel like 2 hrs is not ok for 3 dishes. I get the lemonade is fresh but 30 min!! Management needs to step it up and find a better system! FOOD was good tasty but wouldn't necessarily go back to wait for 2 hours for it! They have like 3 women and 2 guys working the front its doable . Quien sea que esté manejando este lugar no se como le está haciendo !???? 5 meseros y el piso y las mesas sucias ??? Y 2 horas para dos platillos ....... read more

Amazing Colombian food!! So good! After eating at a lot of Colombian places and being disappointed... I'm so glad I found a place with authentic Colombian food. Must try if you are in Sacramento!!! read more

Horrible and overpriced food, beside the empanadas nothing else is good, the attention was bad, we literally had to call the waitress over and over for silverware, napkins, water, and the food we were shorted. The owner was more interested in chatting with a "friend" than tending to the only customers they had: US. Plus the place has no air conditioning, eating the food in a very uncomfortable place. Do yourself a favor, and save your money, go to a Taco Bell, the food tastes much better, it's cheaper and the place will have air conditioning. read more

OMG, Sacramento people, brace yourself, Finally, an authentic Colombian restaurant Worth sharing! The food did not disappoint me at all. From the first sip of my agua-panela( Authentic Iced tea with lots of lime), I knew I was home for the time being. I tried their patacones con carne(shared beef) and tamale special. The tamale was a mouth-watering hefty portion with lots of meat and veggies. It was deliciously perfect. The patacones are green plantain with seasoned to perfection shredded beef on the side. I felt like I was in Colombia, as the portion is subjective in that country. The special came with Bogotá's traditional hot chocolate, which comes with their authentic soft cheese that you dip in the chocolate(sounds crazy, but it's crazy good)! What exceeded my expectations about this place is the taste of authentic flavor. If you know anything about Colombians, we don't eat super spicy food, but it is tasty in flavor. You must try the empanadas; they were also part of their special lunch. I forgot to mention, I also tried their Ajiaco soup with chicken . I'm picky about my food; believe me, I'm even pickier about Colombian food because that's where I was raised for the first nine years. When I go to visit, it is the food I love. This place is a MUST try! The location is not in the most popular area, but it's safe, and the food is all that matters here. By the way, the service by Priscilla was excellent. I love family-owned businesses, and this is one place I definitely wanted to see thrive. read more

I went on a Friday afternoon to grab some lunch - the restaurant wasn't busy whatsoever. I was there for over 45 mins waiting for one of my plates to be ready. The food also was not good whatsoever. read more

I wanted to like this place. We had to sit by a loud tv playing music because we were told that they were too busy to bus the tables that still have food on them. It took a while to get our drink orders. After getting our first round of drinks our waitress was mia for a while. The food took entirely too long. There weren't even that many people in the restaurant. The tables were never cleaned so we had to stay where we were. The food was just ok. I had to go look for my waitress to pay my tab and while waiting a roach came out and just walked around like it owned the place. I would never return read more

Excellent food!! We've been here twice and both times were so flavorful. The staff is so kind. It's a comfortable friendly vibe. I recommend the Picada which will give you a great sample of different food. My husband and I grazed on it. We were stuffed on it and our boys (who also ordered their own entree - breakfast and an arepa) also dug into our picada. Also HIGHLY recommend the agua de panela- so refreshing! Colombian food is not like Mexican - there aren't any spicy sauces or peppers, and the food isn't cooked in any spice. read more

Great vibes in the restaurant, lovely family run place. Food is seriously on point. I've never been to Colombia, but this place makes me want to go.

No wait to be seated, had to walk up to the bar the be told it was open seating. Sat at a table waited for 10 minutes to be greeted and given menus. 1 waiter was working the 5 seated tables and he was overwhelmed. Another 8 minutes to order. The 2 main reasons we went to this restaurant were for sugar cane juice and the blood sausage. The sausage wasn't seasoned. The "sugar cane" juice was brown sugar juice. Pressed sugar cane juice is green in color with a milky white body. It's unclear if this was an off night for the staff or if this was a regular night. There was a table that left without service because of the wait. The decor was pleasant, but doesn't make up for the lack of service. read more

Well there is literally no other Colombian food in Sacramento so on that alone this place wins. Attentive staff, very casual spot in a diverse neighborhood. The empanadas made me want to overdo it, they were really good. Ill try more next time. read more
