    The food is great but the old man needs an attitude adjustment. He needs to learn how to speak to customers while taking orders. The young staff is very kind and helpful. I wish I could give the 5 stars but that old man was awful.

    My wife found this place by accident. She was looking for a place that sells "chicharrones" and found pictures of this place on Google. She was curious about the food because the pictures of the food looked really good. When we arrived, right away, we noticed that the service was exceptional. You could tell that this place cares for their customers. The food was just as expected. It was beyond delicious. My wife had the "Picada" and "Sopa de Costilla de Res." She enjoyed every bite. I had the #4 which is 1/4 Chicken with Rice and Fries. The chicken tastes ridiculously good. You could tell that they specialize in chicken. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to try authentic Latin dishes.

    I believe this Colombian Restaurant has been here for about 36 years if I'm not mistaken. Just that being said iff speaks volumes. I remember being a child and my mother bringing us to this place. Pollo riko is a staple of chicken joints in Hialeah. Chicken soup is beyond delicious. It's cooked the Colombian way and definitely tastes like my grandmas recipe. They have several combos to choose from. Combo #1 brings a soup, white rice, a baked potato and 1/4 of chicken of your choice and a drink. They have this house made ajiaco Sauce which they bring out every time you order. It's delicious as well. Now one of my favore items from thIs place is s they're read beans. I'm a big fan of the way Colombians cook they're red beans. Definitely a great place to grab a quick plate of some REAL food.

    I've been meaning to go for a while, but was disappointed. Chicken was OK, My plate came with a plantain with cheese but it wasn't even melted in like the photo showed. It looked like a piece of onion. I wouldn't go again.

    Despite the name, they don't have outdoor dining. This is the only knock on the place…read more Everything else is great. The portions are healthy and a $30 entree is easily enough for two with a toddler. I would only venture the whole thing if I was working construction again or just got done with a tough workout. The skillet meal we ordered (bandeja paisa), with crispy pork belly, picanha, Morcilla, Columbian sausage, egg, arepa (grilled corn cake), maduros, red beans and rice was all perfectly prepared. My daughter snatched the avocado so I never got to try it, but she seemed to enjoy it so it must have been good. All meats were cooked to exactly where they should be. My only minor complaint is that i would have preferred a runnier egg.

The restaurant was split into two sides with a trinket store offering money transfer services. The Colombian espresso single shot was an absurd $4.00 but the food here is supposed to be excellent so I ordered a beef empanada. It was small but flavorful with a semi-crispy shell at only $2.50 it was a steal. The gender assigned bathroom outer door had a cartoon guy wearing a sombrero hat indicating the men's room. Clean with Terracotta Mexican style flooring providing an earthy vibe with an out of order urinal.

The tip is automatically included in your bill so I guess that's why the staff doesn't bother to check on tables at all?

They charge fee on top of fee if you pay with credit card, tip is included but they disguise it as "service fee" and then on top of that they as for a tip underneath making it unclear that you already tipped. The waitress was nice but she didn't check on us once to make sure we needed anything, we had to try to make eye contact multiple times and nothing, mind you it was only us and another table there and she wasn't even serving them. They know tip is included so I guess they don't feel the need to make an effort? The food itself was good, but there's no way it was worth it. If you really want to try their food make sure you order everything to go and pay cash. Otherwise you'd end up paying triple in fees alone
