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.

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.

While the chicken was juicy, the steak was very dry and chewy. The pork did not taste fresh. We have ordered from here before and it's usually been okay, but this experience was disappointing.

El pollo estaba jugoso, pero el bistec estaba muy seco y correoso. El puerco no saboreaba fresco. Hemos pedido aquí anteriormente y todo había estado bien, pero esta vez fue decepcionante.

We were seated quickly and given menus right away . We ordered a mango smoothie and the BANDEJA SABOR A COLOMBIA and the mixed grill "PARRILLADA SABOR A COLOMBIA". Food took a while to come so I suggest ordering apples next time . The typical platter was pretty good. Meat was moist and savory. 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 . Definitely would not get this ever again as we could have gotten two other entrees instead . This is a great place for large group but can be crowded during the weekends as we always eat around the area .

It has all the Colombian classics because it is a bakery as well. If you bring kids or non adventurous eaters they also have typical American breakfast options like eggs, bacon and pancakes.

This is my favorite restaurant but I geniunely do not understand why the cashier/worker in the…read morebakery section always has a nasty attitude when taking orders. We were the only people in the entire restaurant and we were just discussing what to purchase and when we asked a single question she looked visibly annoyed. Why are you working in a place that requires so much customer communication if you appear to hate it every-time a customer even opens their mouth? Es un falto de respeto y ojalá aprenda a comunicarse mejor con las personas. Apart from that, the food is always great, it's just the service that is so lackluster (from the bakery) and makes me not want to come back.

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.

Hidden gem! I came here for the first time last week and was excited to try this location as arepas…read moreare evidently their specialty. 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.
