As soon as we walked in, the manager Stephan was right at the door ready to greet us. He already knew who we were and welcomed us like we were regulars. That kind of attentiveness is rare--you usually have to look for a manager, but here he was front and center, making sure everything was perfect from the start. The restaurant was busy (always a good sign!), but we were seated quickly and treated with such kindness and efficiency. The service overall was excellent--friendly, attentive, and just a great vibe all around. And the FOOD... absolutely incredible. I had the skirt steak with rice, beans, and salad--10/10, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. My friend had the fish and loved it just as much. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. Between the amazing food and the outstanding service, this place is a gem. Huge thank you to Stephan and the entire team for making us feel so welcomed--we'll definitely be back!

I asked the server what it was because how amazing it smelled, and he said it was the mixed seafood in lobster sauce. I ordered that and it came. There was squid, shrimp, mussel and clam in the soup.

It's an extremely friendly establishment. I highly recommend it to anyone.

My friend and I had such an unexpected and genuinely heartwarming experience with La Finca that I…read morejust had to share. We stopped by on a Monday not realizing they were closed, and as we were walking in, the manager Pablo kindly let us know. But instead of just turning us away, he went above and beyond in a way you truly don't see often anymore. He took the time to recommend another nearby restaurant, gave us keychains, and then--on our way out--stopped us to ask our names and told us he would take care of our entire bill at the next place. That level of generosity and kindness completely blew us away. You can tell right away that this is a place that truly cares about people, not just business. Because of Pablo, we will absolutely be coming back to La Finca on a day they're open--and we're actually looking forward to it even more now. If this is how they treat people when they're closed, I can only imagine how amazing the experience is when they're open. Highly recommend supporting a business like this. Hospitality like that deserves all the success in the world.

However, the mixed grill was a huge disappointment as all the meats on there were fairly dry. I initially thought it was only $44 but it's actually $49 to my surprise .

What are delicious new Colombian restaurant we have in our neighborhood. My wife and I came to try out the food. Everything was excellent. I don't evenlike a arepas generally. This was the most delicious arepa I have ever sampled. Had mine with sausage and eggs ; what a delight. My wife had a soup with Tostones, and she was brought back to childhood when her Abuela would make something so wonderful to be devoured with a spoon. She also got a nice salad and fluffy rice and ordered a side of grilled pork (lomo), which I tried...wow, what flavor! The service is attentive and the people are charming and humble. And the place is clean and new. This is a winner of a place.

TIn regards to the decor, this isn't a place chasing modern trends, and it's all the better for it. The rotisserie chicken has that perfect, deeply seasoned skin that only comes from a kitchen that knows its craft, and the salmon is a exceptional. It's an authentic, unapologetic Colombian staple where you can just head to the bar, grab a cold beer, watch the game, and get exactly what you came for. Food (4/5): Fantastic. The rotisserie chicken is packed with flavor, and the salmon is consistently excellent. The sheer volume of food is staggering. Customer Service (3.75/5): Reliable and down-to-earth. The staff keeps things moving smoothly, whether you're at a table or sitting at the bar. Decor (3.5/5): It isn't modern, but it doesn't need to be. It feels accurate, warm, and entirely right for an authentic neighborhood Colombian spot. Price: Around $25 per person. In an era of shrinking plates and rising prices, the value you get for the sheer amount of quality food here is a total steal.

I ordered one of their signature arepas: The Joint and it was great. It was juicy, packed with a good amount of food and was a nice combination of flavors. As a plantain enthusiast this was the perfect arepa for me. 1 arepa would be filling for the average person. My boyfriend ordered the El Poco Loco for us to split which I wasn't too crazy about - it reminded me of a crispy chicken sandwich and I didn't care for the sauce on this. I didn't bother to eat this after the first bite. Additionally I got to try the tres leches and this was better than I expected. I'm always hesitant to try tres leches because there are so many ways to prepare it. This way was more classic and simple with just the cake and the 3 milks at the bottom. It came served in a square dessert cup. It felt a little small for the price but the taste was worth it. My only constructive feedback for the cake is that the cake would be even better if it was a little less dry as far as texture but that can be hard to balance as you don't want the cake to become too wet over time due to it soaking in the milk. I can't wait to revisit: I'll be getting the tres leches again and would love to try the El Guey.
