We got a lot of food, we were a party of 7. Everything tasted amazing!!! I got the inferno chicken and fried rice and sushi . Chicken and fried rice were really good, the sushi was ok. Drinks and dessert were fine. So the reason I gave it only 3 stars is because the staff wasn't transparent about 20% gratuity being included in our bill (the breakdown didn't clarify nor did the server) and the demeanor was such that they were expecting tips over the included gratuity so we all in the group ended up paying a 20% gratitude plus another15-20%!!! This was so sketch! It's 2026 and this is such an old scam to play. However, other than that. Everything was good!

Usually this type of menu wouldn't interest me, but I pass by it often when I'm in this area, and it's usually pretty busy. I also like the casual vibes that this place and others around it share. I had a Cuban-style half chicken with yellow rice and black beans. My granddaughter had a chicken quesadilla with the same sides. She dug right into the rice and ate most of the quesadilla which seemed quite cheesy. She also ate a good amount of my chicken. I like this style of chicken which has a strong marinade and slow roast with crunchy skin. It was good, though the breast was a bit dry, so I drenched it black beans, as one does. The black beans are solid. They leave the herbs in them and have quite a bit of flavor, good texture, saucy. The yellow rice was a bit dry, but decent flavor. It is a more reasonable price point than many restaurants in this area. For the price point, $25 for two diners, speed of service, and solid food, I'm giving this a four. If it's prices were higher or comparable to its neighbors, it'd be a three. Enjoy.

While I'm sure there are lots of tasty dishes among those I haven't yet tried, I just cannot resist ordering the sandwich. The chips and salsa are hot and fresh- and free. The era of free chips and salsa is not yet gone. The service is passable. When they're with you, they're good but getting their attention when the place is busy is challenging. They seem to be short staffed. We eat outside. The patio is dog friendly so far as I know. We've never run into issues bringing ours. There is an indoor dining space but it looks tired so we prefer outside. Parking isn't terrible but there are stairs up to the patio. Those who can't climb them must be dropped off at the front sidewalk so the driver can park. I'm not sure if there are other options. Have patience and enjoy.

Walking in really felt like an oasis. Such a cute place I totally was not expecting it to be a cute patio there. However indoors were plenty of seating. Our reservations were at 6:30pm and it wasn't much of a crowd. However it was packed by the time we left. We had one drink and it was plenty for our tolerance. It was just a nice way for moms to get out and enjoy some girl time. The food was quick, although they constantly try to upsell you with other things along the way. The pasta, fries and salad were just enough. I think you're supposed to get unlimited salad but they never asked us if we wanted more. Either way I would like to go back. This was totally fun!

The experience was just not good, especially for what they are charging. And calling this place a…read more"resort" is doing a LOT. You're basically sitting on the side of a busy road in Buckhead with nothing shielding you from the traffic, noise, or street atmosphere. There was no music outside, no lush landscaping, no flowers in the pots -- not even fake ones! Nothing about it felt like a resort. The whole outdoor area just felt lazy and unfinished. Then there's the parking. Valet is $30 and self-parking is also $20, so basically... pick how you'd like to pay your $20. It just feels like another money grab on top of an already overpriced experience. And the "fire show"?? It lasted maybe a minute. The woman came running past us so fast I honestly thought she was on fire. It was silly, poorly presented, and I was more distracted by the holes in her stockings than impressed by the performance. If you're going to advertise an experience, PRESENT an experience. The outdoor dining situation was even worse. The people sitting next to us literally moved their chairs because of the ants. Instead of addressing the bug problem properly, the waitress started spraying Zevo bug spray all over their table and chairs while we were sitting right next to them eating. The smell and spray were all down our throats. Who wants to eat dinner while bug spray is being sprayed beside their food? For a place selling a "resort" atmosphere, how about professionally treating the outdoor area for bugs? Our server was actually very sweet -- honestly, she should take her talents elsewhere because this place is giving NOTHING. The staff overall were pleasant, so my issue is not with them. It's the experience and what management is charging people for it. The drinks were another disappointment. A $16 margarita tasted like Kirkland bottled margarita mix poured into a small glass. I know because I drink Kirkland at home! And there is absolutely nothing wrong with Kirkland -- except when I'm paying $16 for one small drink and expecting a crafted cocktail. No real presentation, no garnish, nothing special. Just basic liquor in a cup. The empanadas were actually decent and tasty. The chips and dips? Subpar. The queso was extremely thick and goopy, and the guacamole was dark, old-looking and definitely did not taste freshly made. And then there's the automatic 20% gratuity for ALL parties, regardless of party size. It was just my husband and me and 20% was automatically added. We were told anything we tipped above that would go directly to our server, and we did add more because we believe in taking care of good servers. But between the prices, $20 parking, automatic 20% gratuity and mediocre food/drinks/ambiance, it feels like they are squeezing every possible dollar out of the customer without delivering an experience that justifies it. We came here because of the reviews and the gorgeous photos on the website -- and I will absolutely give them kudos for those pictures because they are AMAZING. Unfortunately, the actual experience did not remotely live up to them. It felt like false advertising. Maybe my expectations are higher than some, but when you charge premium prices and market yourself as a "resort," then give me a premium experience. Give me ambiance. Give me landscaping. Give me music. Give me good cocktails. Give me fresh food. Give me something besides traffic noise, ants, bug spray and a one-minute fire show. People need to stop handing out five-star reviews just because a place photographs well. For my money, I expect more. Overpriced, underwhelming, and definitely not giving "resort."

Wow! We were all blown away with the food and service we had here. We went to celebrate a birthday…read moreand made reservations for Tuesday dinner. We didn't really need it since the restaurant was pretty empty, but we were a bigger group and didn't want to risk it. The hostess didn't confirm our reservation until about 10 mins prior, which was quite concerning, but everything worked out at the end anyway. Our server was wonderful! It was our first time here and he explained their background and what his favorites were on the menu. We for sure wanted to try the paella, so went ahead and ordered that first, with the carretillero ceviche, mixed empanadas (chicken and beef) and patatas bravos to start. The ceviche was delicious and fresh. Loved the fried calamari and all the toppings it was served with. The empanadas were also delicious and was served with a very spicy sauce! The patatas braves had a nice, smoky flavor. Now for entree, I ordered the veggie chaufa. Our server may have been a little biased as he preferred the Peruvian side of the menu, more so than the Cuban side. My dish was easily good for 2-3 people. It had tons of veggies and scrambled egg, plus served with a side of fried plantains. Our group ordered a bunch of other dishes and tried some of them. The churrasco steak was a little chewy but loved the chimichurri it was served with. The parrillada de mariscos was so good too, and my personal fave was the grilled octopus! Personally, I would opt for this instead of the valenciana paella. You essentially get the same types of seafood. I love that we got to dine at this hidden gem! We truly enjoyed our experience and will be back for sure.

Not so great dismissing me because I was picking up, and then staring hungrily and longing for me to fill in a tip because you took forever to hand me a bag. The owner is probably paying his for his second vacation home by now and you want to harass me for doing the bare minimum on a basic pick-up order. On top of that, I did some snooping and there's a recent track record of charging 18% automatically on receipts (even for 2 ppl) and then putting an extra tip line below. What the hell is wrong with you people. I don't mind auto adding the tip, but don't hope people don't notice and intend to fleece them some more for some mediocre beans and overcooked meat. I have been forgiving for the times it came burnt or saltless. Also I'm surprised it's all positive reviews here and TripAdvisor is all negative. I know what it should taste like and never had such terrible service in Colombia or other cities that have a big Colombian population.

Let's start there: it's good-looking on the outside, and when you come in, it's just very nicely decorated, so definitely great job. Everyone is super welcoming when you come in. They're happy to see you, which I definitely enjoyed. When I sat down to order, there were so many things on the menu that I was like, "Yeah, I need to try this," so I ended up ordering a lot of food, but it's okay, you can judge me. I got: - The shrimp appetizer: it was like this grilled shrimp in this amazing sauce with this crispy bread. Oh no, it was so good, so well-flavored, and perfectly cooked. Definitely would go back for that. - The guacamole, which was good. It came with the big tortilla chips instead of little cut tortilla chips, and that was delicious. - The eggplant. Now, I was not prepared for this eggplant to taste like this, but it was really good. The sauce, I don't know what kind of sauce that was, but it was amazing. It was just an unexpected, delightful kind of dish. - The salad, the Little Gem Salad. That one was my least favorite part of the meal. It was just kind of uneventful, and I think I would have preferred the chickpeas to not be crispy. I feel like he was missing something, like he needed some avocado, and the dressing wasn't blended super well, so it didn't really mix really well. Anyway, the flavor was there, but I just feel like the salad was my least favorite part of the meal. Everything else was really good, and I would definitely come back here.

We were there on Saturday with small children and never even stayed long enough to order food because the odor was that bad. I used to visit this restaurant years ago and had already noticed signs of decline, but this latest visit made it clear that the conditions have become significantly worse. The bathrooms were dirty, with broken fixtures and obvious signs of neglect. The entire place looks outdated and poorly maintained, as if renovations and upkeep have been ignored for years. The strong smell of mold throughout the building was alarming and made us question the overall condition of the property. It is difficult to understand how a restaurant can operate while allowing customers to be exposed to such an unpleasant and toxic environment. It's disappointing because we love colombian food. Sadly, it now appears that providing clean, safe, and quality facilities is not a priority. We left immediately and chose not to eat there. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially families with young children.

I know I'm late to this party, but I've seen Pollo Primo around a few times and had been really…read morelooking forward to trying them. After a previous food event didn't go as planned, I finally decided to give them a shot since they were close by. Inside: The restaurant is cozy inside, though seating is a bit tight. But don't worry, they've got tons of space on the porch! I really enjoyed the laid back vibe, perfect for catching up with friends and family. Parking: You can park at the restaurant, as there's a parking lot. Just a heads-up, finding parking may be a bit tricky during busy times. We almost didn't get in, but luckily, someone was leaving after we circled around. Service: Pricing: The pricing was great, and my meal only cost $11, which I thought was a great value for the amount of food received. Food/Drinks: The menu might not be huge, but I appreciate how straightforward it is. It's a chicken shop, and who doesn't love chicken? I opted for the 1/4 Bird Meal (white meat), which included tortillas, rice, beans, pico de gallo, and both red and green salsa. Believe me, the portion size is generous! I only got the quarter bird, and it was more than enough. The food arrived hot and fresh. The chicken itself was a bit fresh, with most of the flavor concentrated on the skin. However, if you enjoy everything together with the salsa, pico, and rice, it all balances out nicely. I didn't get a drink at first, but I saw everyone ordering the frozen margaritas. I'm not a fan of frozen margaritas, but with how much they were getting, I had to see what the hype was about. So, I ordered the margarita with Jamaica. As I mentioned, I'm not a fan of frozen drinks, but after tasting it, I could see why it was so popular! Plus, it was definitely on the strong side, so one was more than enough for me lol. I cannot conclude this review without mentioning the music. The playlist was a vibe from the time I arrived to the time I left (Think 80s r&b!) I honestly didn't want to leave off the music alone. It added so much to the ambience. If you haven't tried Pollo Primo, it's a must! If I lived closer, let's just say it would probably be one of my most frequent restaurants. Looking forward to going back!
