We were very happy with our choice when we walked into this charming nicely decorated restaurant…read more We were seated immediately and served our coffee and empanadas, while we looked over the rest of the menu . I chose the Calentado El Balcon for breakfast that included very thin, perfectly grilled steak with onions that had a great flavor. Breakfast beef often and taste lousy, but this was the opposite here. I liked the arepa with cheese. It was very thin and toasty with tiny balls of cheese just beginning to melt as it was served. The beans mixed with rice had a much better flavor than the usual bland rice, and beans dumped from a can with no seasoning. My wife had a small Sancocho, with little beef in it, but a nice brothy flavor. The coffee was good, not bitter. Aura, our server was the best! So very pleasant and cheerful and she explained in great detail the menu items that we asked about. It's so enjoyable to walk into a new restaurant and everything is just perfect!

Came here for lunch on a Monday and we ordered the bandeja paisa which is the star of the menu…read more Meat was tender and the flavor was ok but the chicharron was perfectly crispy. The beans were really good and were the best of the side orders. You can also add chorizo or morcilla (blood sausage) for an additional $2 which is worth it if you want the traditional full experience. There was no host at the front when we arrived so we seated ourselves. After a few minutes, a waitress came over, took our order and kept things moving. Service wasn't overly warm but it was efficient and consistent. This is a casual straightfoward colombian spot nothing fancy.

Both my son and I ordered 2 beef empanadas and for the main course 2 orders of the Churrasco (Delicious tender cut of baby beef - medium rare) with 3 sides (white rice. red beans, and plantains), also one over easy egg for me and for the dessert a delicious flan for each of us. The establishment was clean and attractive as were the servers, who were also very polite, fast, friendly and accommodating. I genuinely enjoyed everything about El Colombiano as am sure you will too if you enjoy Colombian food. Highly recommend it!

We started with the empanadas which came with these two dipping sauces I literally could bathe in they were so delicious. If not for nothing, go for those. I got the arroz con pollo with plantains and my friend got this awesome steak smothered in onions and tomatoes. Great lemonades too. Apps and main courses for two with lemonades was only $56!

They didn't have any desserts, but when I asked for something sweet at the end of the meal, they brought me a lollipop to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Sometimes the best spots are the little unexpected places you find tucked away in a shopping center.

Once you get past that part, the place is actually nice and the atmosphere is good. The food? Honestly, very good. No complaints there. But... for the prices they charge, I expected a little less "fast food" and a little more "we care." Drinks came in plastic cups--at these prices, I was hoping for at least a real glass, maybe even a little dignity. When I asked for a container for leftovers, I was politely sent on a scavenger hunt to grab my own from a table. So yes, good food, cool space--but overpriced for the experience and the service model. If I'm paying premium prices, I'd love premium service... or at least a glass cup. Three stars: come for the food, stay because you already paid

I couldn't resist trying both fish dishes, and I'm so glad I did! * Filete de Pescado a la Plancha (Grilled Fish Fillet): Lightly seasoned, perfectly grilled, and flakey. Served with white rice and beans that were both simple and satisfying--classic, clean flavors done right. * Filete de Pescado en Salsa de Champiñones (Grilled Fish in Savory Mushroom Sauce) : The mushroom sauce was delicious, elevating the fish to the next level. If you're into creamy sauces and comfort food vibes, this one is a must-try. Served with a side of fried yuca that was golden brown and crispy with coconut rice and beans that will take you by surprise with actual coconut pieces in it not just made in coconut milk This was the star of the show. I ordered two passion fruit juices, and both tasted incredibly fresh--like they had just been blended moments before serving. I also had a Manzana Postobón (apple soda), which added a sweet, nostalgic Colombian touch. And let me tell you, they gave me a taste of their $5 margarita and it was so good. Lightly sweet, tangy, and not too strong--definitely a deal worth coming back for. The staff were welcoming, patient with questions, and quick with service. I appreciated the sample of the margarita--it shows they're proud of what they serve and confident you'll come back for more (and they're right). The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated with colorful accents, bright red seat cushions, wooden tables, hanging greenery, and Colombian flags tastefully placed throughout the space. With soft lighting and cozy touches like pillows along the bench seating, it's a perfect mix of festive and relaxed.

It's a super cute Colombian restaurant, clean, friendly and inviting staff, great food and service.

I would recommend and would return soon.

Waited impatiently inside my car a taste of my morning Joe. Met with the super friendly barista Astrid (hope im saying her name right since there was a language barrier) who advised me on Google translate, that the pastries in the display case on the counter was not prepared this morning, so that was a bummer, but the chicken and the tiny cheese empanadas were ready fresh for human consumption and the Pan de Bono would be ready in twenty minutes. No light breakfast for me today, only a large espresso prepared from Mazzucco Italian coffee beans. It was satisfying and provided a nice bold taste and a jolt. One of the drink specials advertised was the $5 Margaritas and 5/$25 Beers. On Saturdays and Sundays the 2 for $30 entree deal looked interesting. The rear of the dining room included a second business called Viamericas and Zia Cargo which were a courier and money transfer companies. I guess they sub-lease the space, not sure. The gender assigned bathrooms were clean with a wall painting and a corner pedestal added to the decor. My table had a used candy wrapper which kept eye balling me while I sipped my coffee. The cowboy hats were prominently displayed hanging throughout with the addition of latin music playing it was a nice touch.

People were damcing and having a good time. The main kitchen was closed so there was a limited menu. We ordered the small Picadas Nando for $57 which really didn't look small at all. I comes with a lot of meats. Mainly pork and one type of steak. I ate the steak because I don't eat pork. The steak was just ok. My party liked most of the meat options but they didnt like the blood sausage. It came with about 4 tostones and lot of potatoes. I think it should've had more tostones with all that meat. For drinks, I had the coco lemonade, my friends had flavored margaritas. They enjoyed their drinks. At first, it was very hot in there like the air was off. After about an hour i gelt it come one. They had a live singer which I loved. After he was done the dj came on and it pretty much turned into karaoke. Left around 2am. It was a cool night.
