    Passion fruit margarita
    Antoinette P.

    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!
    Alejandro L.

    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! ;-)

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

    4 leches cake
    Allison O.

    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!

    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
    Amy N.

    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.

    Arepas con Queso Arroz Frijoles Lulo Juice
    Erika V.

    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.

    My friend was visiting from NC and asked me a good place to visit. I mentioned this place right away because it was on my list of places to visit. We sat outside and Aurora was our server. Everything looks and smells great. If you have passed by there, you will know. We ordered a picada personal and a few Aguilas. I will be back again for sure. Great food and service.

    Bandeja Paisa
    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.

    Loved this place! Didn't plan on eating here and stumbled upon it on maps. Exceeded my expectations for sure! The tequeños were AMAZING! Perfectly crisp on the outside and melted on the inside just like they should be (not all places make them well lol) . we got the parilla for 4 which was HUGEEE couldn't even finish it . The server was very attentive with us.

They boast both indoor and outdoor seating with the same aesthetic and nods to Colombian culture, like the cute hats and sandals hanging on the wall. We were seated inside fairly quickly on the Sunday afternoon we came in. They were pretty busy, but the waiters were kind of hanging out at the bar, just chit-chatting. We were able to get one of the servers to look at us after a couple of minutes of sitting there. They brought us a little palate-opener of a small portion of a simple soup. They had a margarita special we tried, $5 frozen margaritas. The maracuya (passion fruit) one was a solid choice. I also ordered the mojarra frita with white rice, tostones, and salad. The rice was really undercooked. The waiter tried to appease us by bringing us more of the same uncooked rice. We were not the only table to say something about it because our neighbors confirmed they too received the same and were also unhappy. Other than that, the rest of my meal was great. However, I will say my mom was very upset with her experience and expressed that her chicken wasn't prepared well either.
