Looking to expand the palate, we recently tried La Colombiana. Started with fried plantains and…read moreempanadas (two beef, two chicken). Both were delicious, especially the fried plantains. I've had plantains in the past, but these were certainly the best I've tried. For entrees, we went with arroz con pollo and bandeja paisa which was basically an assortment platter. I was a little disappointed in the arroz con pollo. Rice was over cooked and the flavor was overall muted. For dessert, we tried obleas -- thin waffles filled with jam, caramel and cheese. The waffles weren't true waffles, but more just cracker type. Again, rather disappointing but maybe I just don't have the right taste for it. The service was excellent, and we did enjoy the appetizers. Entrees and dessert were a let down. Overall, 3 stars in my book.

Overall, I'd come back AGAIN. The food still is great and the ambiance of the place feels like good.

Coming from Arizona, the hot salsa wasn't nearly spicy enough, but the flavor was still great! You order at the counter and then you can either eat in the building or take your food to go.

The restaurant is tucked in a residential neighborhood so we almost missed it so keep your eyes peeled. Parking wasn't an issue since there's a parking lot next to it. Service was great, our waitress had been working there for a very long time. I suspect it was a family owned business so it was great to hear her recommendations and she did not disappoint. All of her recommendations were on point. I got the garlic shrimp in coconut sauce and that was amazing. But the star of the meal was the sweet plantains! Omg those were delicious! It was an appetizer for us but I swear I could have ate just that for my main meal. Portions are very generous too so you'll leave feeling very full. So if you come across this place, don't hesitate and try it out!

The inside is elegant with white tablecloths, with very friendly personal service. Typically, we enjoy the charcoal chicken, but we noticed something new on the menu. There is a ground chicken sandwich with an egg on top, served on a delicious grilled toasty bun. Magical! To elevate your experience, I'd recommend adding the spicy Bolivian hot sauce from the chicken wings on the side. That said, the chicken wings are also crispy morsels of protein with the same sauce. So, consider those as an appetizer, along with the beef empanadas. In short - accessible, easy parking behind the restaurant and something deliciously different in the heart of uptown Centerville. 5 stars!

Everyone should end their meal with a homemade Tres Leches cake. The nachos with chicken are a flavor bomb with authentic South American profiles that feel very familiar.

The location has nearby parking, Abuela's Kitchen is on DoorDash, and they have a great adult beverage menu that is DORA approved. Inside, there is a good selection of seating for all-sized parties. Food is cooked to order, so there is a slightly longer wait time than you'd have at a fast-casual restaurant.
