The menu was in Spanish, but you can request an English menu. We've been here in the past and really enjoyed the food. The prices are very high. Be prepared to pay $20-$30 per plate. Unfortunately, the chicken that we ordered came out raw. I got sick from it. The waiter was very sorry and kind. Also, the broccoli tasted like frozen broccoli that had been boiled or microwaved which makes it mushy and tasteless. I remember fresh steamed broccoli in the past. I wish I could recommend this restaurant but how could I tell a friend to go somewhere that serves unsafe food that could give you food poisoning?

The chicken was based in tomato sauce, I don't think there was any other seasoning on it. The restaurant itself is very nice, very spacious, and I can tell it's used for large parties. The service was OK, after I received my food they never came back to check on me, I had to get her attention when I wanted to pay. All things considered, I would go back to taste something else because I like the portions; I paid $9. I took the rest of my food home and added some seasoning.

La Casa de Peinado is a new Colombian restaurant located in 441, between Sample Rd. And Coconut…read moreCreek. I have been told this is their second location. The venue is spacious and recently decorated with modern tiles and a few LCD TVs on the walls. They are usually playing old school colombia music. Menu is varied, with a lot of the expected Colombian dishes. The service has been pretty good on the few times we have visited. The food is pretty good and the prices are excellent! A bandeja paisa (meat, chicharon, sausage, egg, rice and beans) for $9.99 is an unbeatable deal! The portions are large, and at the end of your meal they give you a free scoop of ice cream! I don't know if they plan to keep that up, but it definitely puts a smile on my face! This is a great place to eat if you live or work in the area. Great food at unbeatable prices. I will be coming back for sure.

This is my second time at La Casa del Peinado. The first time I was not able to check in because…read morethey had some sort of permit issues being that they were in the process of changing restaurants from the prior owners to this current establishment. The two are not related at all but you could still see the prior restaurant on the Yelp app. I was very happy with my food and service then and I thought it was a shame I was not able to share it. But when we came this time around I made it a point to add to business . This time around the service was not as good, but everything else was great. We came in and there is only have a few tables and a whole lot of space which is a waste. I think they could add a few more tables to accommodate guests. There were four of us and we had to bring two tables together, they did not even offer to come and help with this, which I thought was a little dismissive. A girl came after five minutes or so to take in our drink order she was a little shy and didn't speak much which led me to believe that she is new, she was by no means rude, she came a couple of times to ask if everything was fine. She just needs a little more experience which I am sure she will get. Because it was four of us we ordered a meat platter for four people which is $40 and comes with an assorted of pork, beef, chicken, chorizo, morcilla potatoes and tostones. I also got a green salad. This is A LOT of food, even for 4 people. We ended up taking a lot of it home. The salad was also great. Lots of avocado and tomatoes. Prices are unbelievable, and the food tastes great and both times I have been here at the end of the meal they bring us a small cup with ice cream on the house, Which is great! it is the perfect amount not too little or not too much just something to sweeten up the pallet after all that Latin goodness. Their cafe con leche is also great. All in all, this a great place to come and have a casual lunch, it isn't high-end but it's better than a hole on the wall. Service is a hit or miss depending on who your waitress is, but it is adequate. Their food is very inexpensive and tasty and that is what matters most. This one is going on my Colombian regular spots.

Came here last night for the first time and had such a great experience…read more It was a Saturday night so they were doing karaoke outside on the patio and it was so cute, everyone was getting up to sing and everyone at the tables was sitting and watching and interacting and having a good time.

The food came out super fast and was super hot and delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection and it was all large portions. The food was decently priced and the place was clean.

My mom ordered the mondongo which was an extremely generous portion (she took half home!), my dad ordered punta de anca and it was perfect, and I had to have their calentado (beans, rice, chicharrón, steak, eggs, arepa with cheese - full plate!).

And we out food was out in 11 mins after placing the order. I got the Antiqueno. And it was great. Enjoyed the portion and the simple flavors. The pork belly was cooked perfectly which quite frankly is something that many restaurants mess up. They had also had these three home made sauces that were brought out to the table. One of which was a passion fruit based mayo that worked super well with my bowl. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

The steak was grilled to perfection and did not need any sauce however I did appreciate the sauce it came with. The rice was a salty delight. The salad was fresh and I love the tomato toppings. The service can be a little slow, but it's worth the short wait. The restaurant itself is quite big, it can fit both small and large families. There are booths and tables to choose from.

I was greeted immediately after walking in and seated right away by the friendly staff. I started off with a chicken empanada that was fresh, hot and crunchy. The chicken was tender and juicy, adding the salsa gave it a nice little heat. The main course was the Bendeja Paisa. I was feeling sentimental and craving something traditional. Let me say the portion size was unexpected and very filling. The steak was tender and the tomato and onions atop it was delicious. The tostones were tasty, crunchy, and with a bit of the sauce from the steak, it added additional flavor. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.
