I ordered a sobrebarriga and it honestly was at least 60% fat. Sobrebarriga is a fattier meat, but never in Colombia or the states had I visited a place comfortable serving something like that. It is a shame that the only Colombian restaurant in Portland that serves plates is so mediocre. As much as I miss the food, I don't even bother going to this restaurant because they are consistently mediocre or bad. what a shame read more

Dejaré este review en español para los Colombianos que sabrán de qué hablo. Lo que sea que vendieron el 7 de Diciembre, no eran buñuelos. Nada que ver con los buñuelos de verdad. Era solo una bola de queso llena de aceite. El 6 de diciembre llamé y me dijeron que era mejor hacer la orden para recoger al otro día porque tenían muchos pedidos. Entonces hice una orden para recoger a las 4 y aún así tuve que esperar 1 hora para que la orden estuviera lista. Entonces, cuál era el punto de hacer la orden el día anterior? Cuando llegué apenas cogieron la bolsa de empanadas y bueñuelos para fritarlos. Terrible el servicio al cliente y la comida nada que ver, además de los precios súper elevados. Si no saben hacer buñuelos para qué venderlos?? read more

This was our second round ordering here. We had it delivered so I can't speak to the restaurant itself. I will say that the restaurant did call me when the delivery service picked up the food to let me know it was on the way. Food was ready on time. The Sobrebarriga en Salsa Criolla was exceptional. The flank steak was very tender and well seasoned. The potatoes, plantains and rice made this a great dish. The Arepa Rellena with pork was also wonderful. The pork was cooked spot on and absolutely delicious. The Choriarepa had great flavor and a great appetizer. The Yuca Frita was good and the sauces added to give flavor. We'll continue to give Que Bacano our patronage read more

Anyone leaving a bad review for this place is either lying to themselves or simply doesn't understand how the restaurant works. Many complain about the service. This is not a sit down restaurant! You go up to the counter when you want to order. With that out of the way, the food is absolutely delicious and very authentic. The ambience of the restaurant is amazing and they have cool Colombian snacks to buy as well. Service is fine and food comes out fine, but as I said you order at the counter so please do not go here and then complain about that. read more

Incredible food, came out hot in a timely manner with only one employee working. Bless her soul , she greeted us with kindness we communicated to the best of our ability and felt full and happy as we left. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in all of Portland. The minute you step through the door you're transported to a window of Colombia with the decor and the classic olímpica radio playing in the background. The food is spectacular and is the closest thing I can get to homemade Colombian food from my mother. The employees have alway been so kind and welcoming to me and any friends that I bring in. They were able to accommodate my group of 12 even on short notice and absolutely crushed it on getting food out in a timely manner. Highly recommend you come try some tastes of Colombia. read more

Wonderful, all around! I highly recommend the Arroz Atollado -- very flavorful! My friend got the Avocado Salad, which doesn't sound particularly extraordinary, but was surprisingly excellent. read more

Delicious! Best plantains in Portland. This restaurant has great food and lots of options for all diets. I was able to find fantastic vegetarian options, and the meat eaters in my party also really enjoyed their dinner. The margaritas are good, too! read more

Out just playing around and need to a late lunch. We randomly walked into Que Bacano and had a fun experience! Having never had Columbian food before, I can't speak to it's authenticity but it was yummy and hit the spot! The food came in relatively short time, but it wasn't busy when we walked in. The service was friendly and she did a good job paying attention to us and our drinks. I will totally go back in, when up in the area and hungry again! read more

Delicious fresh patecones, fun environment, authentic Colombian food. Really nice service. Love it!

Authentic and friendly staff made the experience delightful. The chicken Arepas were delicious.I'll be back! read more

The pollo a la criolla and Ajiaco Bogotano were excellent. Even my picky 13 yo enjoyed the food. We will definitely be back.

I lived in Colombia and it is rare to find an authentic place. This was it. The empanadas were delicious. The frijoles were amazing. My only complaint is that they only gave a fourth of an arepa with the Bandeja Paisa. Someone who was not from Colombia probably wouldn't notice or care but I love arepas so that was disappointing. They made up on it with the authentic flavors in the beans and homemade chorizo. Would highly recommend if you love Colombian food. read more

Very sweet staff, great food, seemed to be family owned and operated. I didn't even get a chance to photograph the empanadas cause I inhaled them from the plate before they even hit the table as I was starving when I arrived lol but they are highly recommended. Charming decorations and ambiance as they are proud of their Columbian heritage! I was grateful to have experienced their food and will be back to try the rest of the menu. read more

This was some tasty stuff! Cozy little place with a nice outside area along the street as well, worth checking out if you're looking for something new in the area. Gotta love those Arepas! Friendly service, too! read more

I walked past this place during the day on a weekend and the patio dining was at max capacity (when indoor dining was not allowed)... The food looked amazing and I decided I would need to check them out soon. Once indoor dining was allowed, I came in on a Thursday evening and ordered a few things. Everything we ordered was really good... Authentic and different than anything I have tasted before. And inexpensive! I love getting good food at a good price... It makes me want to come back more. read more

Why have an outdoor speaker on all day long? Play it inside for you and your customers. The neighbors don't want to hear your bass driven music 8-10 hours a day. Extremely inconsiderate and annoying. I get it during the Hawthorne street fair but every day and even in the winter? Come on you guys, I didn't hire a DJ. read more

I have been craving Colombian food for a long time. Drove two hours to this restaurant and it was definitely worth the drive. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Highly recommend stopping by Que Bacano for your Colombian cravings. The restaurant was beautiful decorated. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Great Colombian food, bandeja paisa is the best, have been here 4 times and still haven't had a bad meal. The atmosphere is amazing, makes you think of Colombia However, the service is not the greatest, every time I've been there it gets worse. On our last visit, we waited for about 15 minutes to get the menus, I had to get up and grab them myself. Then, the server never came to take our order, I had to go to the register and asked them to please take our order, very disappointed. read more

I love the food cart but it's always a fail ordering from the restaurant. The restaurant obviously has more options and they are good but I am 5/5 or cancelled orders from delivery companies. All of them with different excuses. We don't take those orders to the tablets are down. I then went to the location and didn't get any service for 10 minutes so I left. Im hoping things get better but man 6 times I've tried to give you my money and I get burned. read more

I recommended this restaurant to some friends because we were looking for a Colombian restaurant to try traditional dishes and watch the Copa America soccer match between Argentina and Colombia; however, this place was overcrowded and the waiter was so rude. The manager didn't take in account the amount of people that arrived there( a lot of people) and placed only a server. read more

Horrible service, horrible food We ordered three entrees and received half of one- arepas completely unseasoned, cardboard, over cooked sausage, " avocado salad" a plate of chopped tomato and onion , unseasoned for $9.99 Asked about my husband's food many times, server could not have cared less. The sausage appeared alone, despite the menu saying " with salad" when I inquired, she retired with more onion, and tomato, no dressing and slopped it off and left. It was a terrible experience. read more

Phenomenal food, everything we ordered was fantastic. Excellent service despite how rusty my Spanish is, will practice so I can come back

very slow service. for about an hour to receive 2 plates of food. In ordered bandeja paisa and sobrebarriga en salsa And both plates were low quality and incomplete, the bandeja paisa didn't come with the traditional chicharrón and the sobrebarriga came with an overripe avocado. Completely disappointed with this experience. Hope they take this review seriously and improve for future clients. read more

What an amazingly authentic place to grab lunch or dinner. People who work here are probably the nicest people we've been served by. Not going to drag this out, just freaking get here as soon as possible. read more

I discovered this place like a month ago and have already been 3 times! One of those times I insisted my whole family needed to come, and they loved it too. Every time the food has been just as excellent, there's no issue of consistency. The environment is lively and the staff are all friendly. Good food, good service, and good prices. One of my new favorite places! I could live off of the yucca fritas. read more

Mi primera vez en este restaurante la comida deliciosa y una buena atención al cliente lo recomiendo

If you are looking for authentic South American food, this is one of those places in Portland City Proper. El Inka is the only other place that comes to mind. I stopped in for a quick snack after work, it's a very affordable place to eat, and it smells amazing the minute you walk in the door. I got empanadas and they have beef and chicken and I like both but I prefer the chicken that's just my preference I like chicken more than I like beef in general but the beef was actually really good. The service was excellent they're very attentive and polite. My Spanish is pocho, meaning "broken," but she didn't judge me at all. And the kitchen was fast from what I noticed, they had a good relationship between front and back. I definitely want to come back with my marido and friends and show them this delicious empanada place! Yum! read more

Im Colombian, food was ok Sancocho de Gallina was bland, expensive empanadas $3.00 ea. Bandeja Paisa the beans were very salty. Overall wouldn't recommend it. Especially since the service was not that good. Had to wait about 15 min for a check and when I inquired was told to go up front where I waited another while. The Yucca was good and the jugos. The location looks nice and the decorations are cool. read more

I started with a fruit juice (lulo). Delightful. Now I know the juices are good. I ordered a Bandeja Paisa, which is a signature Colombian dish consisting of an assortment of Colombian food items, such as grilled steak, rice, red beans, chicharrón, avocado, sweet plantains, sausage, and even a fried egg. Every item was delicious. Now I know I can order anything off the menu. Last item was the Tres Leches for dessert. Holy guacamole that thing was yummy. The server was pleasant and the music was fun read more

The young lady serving us hardly spoke any English. After my husband ordered - orders of empanadas and 1 order of fried yuca - the lady brought out an arepa and set it at the edge of our table. My husband said "I didn't order this" and she stood there arguing with him that he did. She then picked it back up, rolled her eyes right in front of us, stormed off and threw the door open (going back inside because we were sitting outside). She then brought out the fried yuca and had to ask my husband what kind of empanadas he had ordered, and once again stormed off back inside. Once all of our food had been delivered, my husband still said thank you, and she just walked off without a word. Overall the food was mediocre, the margaritas we ordered were great (though I think it's hard to mess up a margarita) but the service was downright awful... so we definitely won't be back. read more

This place is incredible!! My family and I came in today and everyone's meal was incredible! Delicious and flavorful. The service was excellent and the owner is so friendly and personable. This is a great place to have lunch or dinner in a welcoming environment with great food. You'll leave with a full stomach, no doubt! read more

Disappointing; I was so excited to have Colombian food while I'm in town. Ordered takeout, showed up 25 mins later and waited a few for the order to be ready--almojábanas, yuca frita and beef empanadas. Got to my car, opened it up and the almojábanas weren't just rubber bricks but also cold--I mean recently thawed from the freezer cold; had been nowhere near a heat source. The yuca wasn't freshly fried (this was lunchtime, not off-peak hours) and had also gotten cold and tasted like it had been laying around. The beef empanada *was* good, tasty and warm. But overall, kind of a bummer ‍ the people there seemed really nice so I'm assuming this was just a bad day. read more

Great Saturday night dinner in their outside area. Covered and had a heater putting out good warmth. Friendly staff. We two split the Arroz con Pollo, maduros, and arepas with carnitas. Super yummy and we even had leftovers. read more

Better than any Colombian restaurant I've been to in SLC, NYC, LA, Bay Area, and Portland which are all places I've lived. My family and I are obsessed with trying Colombian restaurants (we're Colombian) at any destination we travel. This is the king. The food here is on the level of my abuela's (my grandmother). Go to Colombia to find better Colombian food. read more
