Everything was delicious. Elio was easy to work with and helped coordinate everything and arranged for delivery which arrived on time, nice and hot. You get a lot of food for what you pay and our guests enjoyed everything. It was a good thing we had as much as we did because people kept going back and wanted to take some home. Highly recommended for catering quality Colombian food.

Restaurant with typical foods nothing outstanding, nothing terrible, very edible. The make the fried green plantains that I'm used to calling Tostones in a different fashion. They're not as crispy, and I think that the plantains were weren't as green as they needed to be so they were a little bit softer and sweeter. They cut them lengthwise and smash them down instead of cross, cutting them into discs and then smashing them the second time so it makes for a less crispy texture when fried the second time. My order was the mango shrimp ceviche and it was drowning in a thick mango purée. Was hoping for a more standard sage with mango pieces in it, and there were delicious mango pieces in it however, the sauce was overwhelming. It was served with nice thinly sliced green plantain chips. My better half ordered the chorizo in bread and when it came out, it had a thick slab of melted cheese on top, with mayo and a weird brown sauce, so it was quite different from what he had expected. It was served with some delicious french fries! Service was very attentive and professional. The ambience is a bit dark and depressing. It was really, really cold in there. We had to move tables because we were sitting right under the air conditioning. Good place to come when it's really warm out.

We had dinner at Bryanna's for the first time last evening. There were four people in our party and…read moreeach of us had the same things to say after dinner and that was that this restaurant was a great find and a real neighborhood gem. Their menu is large with many choices to consider. We started with a Boquita Compuesta which included a delicous assortment taquitos, tostaditas and mini-tacos as well as and order of Tortitas de Papa, three incredibly tasty Guatemalan style potato croquettes. Our main courses consisted of two orders of the Churrasco Guatelmalteco which consisted of an 8 oz. Rib Eye Steak, Grilled Green Onion, Guacamole, Fried Black Beans, Rice, and Longaniza an order of Pepian Mayan chicken stew with potatoes, green beans and imported Guatemalan spices with a side of rice and tortillas and lat but not least an order of Chuletas which consisted of two pork chops prepared in a white wine and onions, served with a side of fried sweet plantain, rice and beans. For dessert, we shared an order of the Mollete Guatemalan style bread pudding glazed with a sweet, light caramel sauce. The servers were very friendly and accomodating allowing us to enjoy an unrushed dinner. To top it off, the food and beverage prices were very reasonable. All in all, a wonderful, delightful dinner in an "Five Star" neighborhood gem.

Appetizer combo was excellent as was their bean dip- it was more fluid than the average and tasted great. Unusual salad that included beets, apples and green olives. I thought the beet and apple elevate the average salad, but am not a big fan of olives. The best thing on the entree platter was definitely the only-slightly sweet corn tamale. They made us a vegan version of green chicken stew which is traditional Guatemalan dish. The tomatillos make the sauce green and it is tasty. The other traditional Mayan dish was a vegetable Pepian stew (normally beef).

We recently had a dinner on a Thursday night at Bueno Terra with a group of ten friends. One of the…read morecouples in our group and frequent patrons and recommended this restaurant as our place to meet. I live in Buena Park, and I have driven down Irving Park Road, passing this restaurant one hundred times, but never gave it much thought. The space was originally a pizza restaurant called Hearth & Crust and owned by the same people. From what I understand, they closed their original Bueno Terra restaurant in Logan Square and reopened it in this Hearth & Crust space. In fact, the Hearth & Crust logo is still etched into the glass at the inner front of the restaurant. The restaurant was packed, especially with families, but they sat us in a semi-private, glass-enclosed room at the front of the restaurant. The sliding windows were open to the sidewalk and Irving Park Road. That kept the room pleasantly cool, but it was noisy. I could not hear anyone talk except the people sitting right next to me. We had one waiter assigned to our table--someone who knew the people in our group who frequent Bueno Terra--and he was personable and attentive. For the table, we ordered the arancini and fried calamari. Both were excellent. For my entrée, I ordered the Melanzana alla Emilia Romagna--eggplant medallions with a crunchy almond crust served with tomato basil sauce and topped with caramelized onions and goat cheese. Kind of a play on eggplant parmesan, but richer and better. My friends said that they often order it as an appetizer. It was unusual and delicious--I loved it. I do not drink alcohol, but I ordered a Berry Lemonade--strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry muddled with lemon soda. It was tart but refreshing. Platters were served with mixed of desserts--tiramisu, cheesecake and profiteroles. All excellent. The service and food were both great and we all had a wonderful time. Although it doesn't look like much driving past Irving Park Road, Bueno Terra is a gem that I highly recommend.

A beautiful little place, tucked away in a cozy corner of a small shopping center, you'd never expect such flavors and such an escape. With a larger place, walk ins would probably be handled fine. When I went, we felt lucky showing up when we did, as it soon filled up inside, such that a couple had to be turned away at the door. Plantain soup. It was a special, and special it was. The drinks were equally phenomenal. And the service was delightful. Itching to go back before they make their move.

Waitstaff was very nice and showed mre to my seat as soon as I arrived. I hear that this is family owned and from the looks of it I could tell. Love a good family owned restaurant and it just feels very homey. Our server Carlos was pretty much running the joint and taking care of many tables and doing a great job of it...cheers to him. Menu looked amazing and they offered 4 courses for RW. I started with the crab cake and it was fantastic coupled with the remoulade sauce. My friend started with the sausage and peppers and it was fire! I then got the house salad as a 2nd course. Main course wound up being the 16oz Ribeye with 3 jumbo marinated shrimp. Steak was cooked medium to perfection and was juicy af! Shrimp on top was a very nice touch...yum city! 4th course (dessert) brought me a very nice tiramisu...loved every bite. My friend got the lemon cake and it was good as well. Carlos advised us that the Barbera di Asti red wine was the route to go and he was right. We luckily got the last bottle. Red sangria was very nice as well. Loved my experience at Mirabella and I definitely plan on returning. They got a good thing going on here!
