    Passion fruit  Maracuya
    Jennifer S.

    Stopped for a late dinner after visiting the balloon museum in Wynwood. We shared a steak and chicken empanada for an appetizer then split the cazuella de carne without the pork belly. It was absolutely delicious and had tons of flavor. The salsa verde on the side was spicy and flavorful. Great addition but not needed. The margaritas were strong and tasty!

    Whenever I forget to bring dinner to work this is my go to spot ! I always order the cazuela de carne & I promise it NEVER disappoints. The food from Palo Quemao is always delicious & fresh. I have never eaten in house so I imagine it's better than the take out, but what I receive is always on point. The bowl is a good amount of meat with hogao on top, rice, beans, plantains, sliced avocado, pieces of an arepa & a fried egg on top. I always get the aji ( hot sauce ) on the side, add una colombiana o postobon & chefs kiss. Absolutely delicious & filling. I highly recommend.

    Passion fruit margarita

    Stopped here for cocktails while in Miami waiting for our uber during Art Basel weekend. We all know how notorious the Ubers are for cancelling during a busy weekend. The bartender was so sweet. They had some delicious fresh juices (passion fruit, lulu?, and mango). She made us margaritas and then a great gin based cocktail. The ambiance is relaxed but still appropriate for date night or even family night.

    Picada (enough for 4 ppl) -- lots of food!

    An authentic with a smile and flavor of Colombia. They have all the famous, traditional dishes from the country I love and their prices are super reasonable. They have all the things like Colombiana soda, and the Picada which get you all the different flavors to share over a table. Love this spot. Will def be back! ;-)

    Super flavorful cazuela de cerdo bowl with Colombian sausage, pork belly, sweet corn cake, fried egg, avocado, and rice. Kept me full for a second meal after taking it home! The 4 Leches cake is also decadent to share. It was a busy night, plenty of outdoor seating along Biscayne Boulevard!

    beans & rice
    Anonymous R.

    Food and drinks were great! Loved the two Colombian beers they have, and the wine based cocktails tasted strong yet balanced. I got the mojito with lulo and definitely could taste the orange-y lulo without overpowering the drink. The empanadas were great: great dough and the filling was super flavorful. You can tell whoever prepared it did it with care because the filling was packed and didn't have oil pour out after the first bite. Make sure to add aji to it! For the entree, I split the picada personal. The chicharon was well fried but still had that pork belly texture without being overly fatty. The Colombian chorizo was so good as well, and the fries were super well seasoned. The meat and chicken had great lime flavor, but I didn't like the way it was presented. It was chopped up in small chunks, resembling meat from a Chipotle bowl. I think it made it look cheap or like remaining scraps from another dish; presentation aside, the flavor of the meats were great. The arepas left something to be desired for--I would prefer traditional small, thick arepas. However, the rice and beans were spot on/textbook Colombian rice and beans (SOOO good). The only issue was with the service. It was quite busy, so I understand that, but I didn't have anyone really attend to me once things got settled. Nonetheless, would highly recommend for great, authentic Colombian food!

    Everything we got tasted really good. It's nothing special but always good quality. Would recommend for a quick lunch

    Food: It had been a long time since I had Colombian sancocho, and I found this place. It was delicious, with a very rich and authentic flavor, super homemade. For starters, I had the arepas with ahogao, and they were amazing. Service: Super friendly and very attentive to everything we needed. Ambience: It's in a great location and played Colombian music, making me feel like I was back in my beloved country.

    Pork belly

    Absolutely amazing food! So filling and delicious. We got a beef empanada to start, the Bandeja Paisa plate and fried yucca to share. More than enough food. Highly recommend. Atmosphere was excellent and so were the servers.

    Mariana S.

    Really delicious food and great for sharing! Their tequeños were really good and their bowls easily feed two people.

    Steven C.

    The place is amazing, the food is spectacular and the people are nice. The music is Hispanic and there is a bar too. Most definitely coming back.

    I have always wondered about Palo Quemao and finally tried it a couple of months ago. I had a friend visiting and he loves Colombian food. We got there and luckily we were able to get a table for 3. Bigger parties were waiting outside for tables so we were really lucky! To start I ordered a Lulo juice, I fell in love with this fruit when I visited Colombia and I was so happy they had it on the menu! My boyfriend and friend both got some Colombian soda, Postobon and they liked it. To start we shared some Arepas con Queso, good but way too greasy, Tequeños, which were delicious, and Cheese Empanadas which were big, yummy, and greasy too. We also got the Bandeja Paisa which was huge! Perfect for 2-3 people and I got a side of the rice and beans because I couldn't get over how good they were! The place is cute and clean and the server was welcoming.

    Jane D.

    Brought an out of town friend here! We really enjoyed our meal here - service was super friendly, and the food was exactly what we were looking for. Weather was good, so we sat at one of the many tables outside. We got three things - the Ajiaca Santafereno (chicken soup), empanadas, and the Bandeja Paisa to try a bunch of different proteins. We found this place because I searched "soup" near "my current location." We were not disappointed by the Ajiaca Santafereno It was hearty, flavorful, and exactly what I wanted. We liked the crispness of the empanadas. As two Asian Americans, both of us were big fans of the pork belly and liked how the rice is a little different from Chinese / Vietnamese rice. Wasn't obsessed with the steak in this order, but we liked everything else in the Bandeja Paisa. Will be returning with my husband! This is a great spot for something that feels a little more homey, but elevated.

    This is some of the best Colombian food South Florida has to offer at a price that absolutely…read morepositively can't be beat. Some Colombian restaurants rent in places where the lease is absorbed by the paying customer in the charge of food- this is simply not the case here This restaurant is a staple of the area and don't be surprised to walk in and hear patrons greet the staff as if they were regulars because they most certainly are familiar faces I ordered a bone broth to start with grilled steak and rice entrée and finished with a cup of coffee that was brewed to perfection This is the kind of place you go for quality food in a cozy environment Parking is somewhat limited out front, which adds to the exclusivity of it unless you're in a walking distance While I was there, I also noticed a multitude of Mobile dining orders, which lets you know plenty of people want with this place has to offer and after having eaten here today, I can completely see why: great food great staff amazing price points

    I called in an order for 40 empanadas Colombianas from this location on 6.27 for a family…read moregathering. The girl that answered was super friendly and told me they could have them ready for the time I ordered, which was great!! I got to the location for my pick up and the whole parking situation was a mess. I had to park a bit far, which was more of an inconvenience than an actual problem. Once in there, I went to the counter where there were 3 ladies working. I'm literally in front of them and about 4 minutes went by before any of them even acknowledged my presence. I'm the one that finally spoke up and said "buenas tardes" and they acted as if I had just miraculously appeared in front of them. I find this absolutely shocking, as most Colombian restaurants are so welcoming and polite. I ask for my order and they tell me to wait a moment. About another 5 minutes go by and they bring out my order horribly covered with some aluminum foil. In the car I grabbed an empanada to have a taste and it is all burned inside and out. When I got to my gathering I removed the aluminum foil and about 10 empanadas were in the same badly burned condition. These empanadas cost a little over $2 a piece! I paid $90+!! I understand Saturday was the Colombia game and they must have been swamped, but if you can't provide quality product, don't overwhelm yourself by taking on more than your kitchen can handle. The oil must not have been the right temperature cause the empanadas were extremely greasy. Luckily we were able to place them on some paper towels to soak up the grease and most of them were consumed. Everyone said that the taste was decent, but they were definitely over fried. I have no idea what their food and service is if you dine in, however I highly recommend not ordering out. There's much better Colombian places.
