It fills the space in the best way possible and immediately pulls you in for the full experience. One thing that really stood out to me was the customer service. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which, unfortunately, hasn't always been my experience at other Colombian restaurants. Many places I've visited primarily speak Spanish, which can sometimes make ordering a challenge. Here, I felt completely at ease and well taken care of. We started with the beef empanadas, and I highly recommend them. The crust was perfectly crispy, while the filling was soft, flavorful, and comforting. Paired with their salsa, which had just the right kick of spice, it was an excellent combination that made for a strong start to the meal. I ordered my go-to favorite, the Bandejita. The presentation was beautiful and appetizing, but sadly, the bold flavors I'm used to just weren't quite there for me. The flat steak tasted under-seasoned, and I actually found myself adding salt, which I've never had to do before at other restaurants. The pork sausage also seemed a bit dry inside, but my husband said that's how it should be, so perhaps that was just my preference. The beans had a different flavor than what I'm accustomed to as well, not bad by any means, just noticeably different. On a positive note, the pork belly was perfectly crispy, exactly how it should be, and the plantains were sweet and cooked to perfection. Overall, the menu looks incredibly tempting, and there are still plenty of dishes I'd love to come back and try. While I may skip the Bandejita next time, I definitely plan on returning to explore more of what they have to offer.

I have frequented this restaurant many many times and they don't seem to disappoint at all…read more Even after the HWY 6 flood they have moved to a new location and the food is still great and for the price they gave you a lot of food. I usually order their daily lunch special, but since it is Father's day and dinner time I went ahead and ordered the Super Bandeja Gran Columbia, my wife order a Piasa kids, and my son just ordered the Tipiquito plate. The food was ready when we arrived to pick it up. It was a lots of food for the money even the price was changed a bit from the menu price. But still there is enough food to eat on for two days. LOL So for what it is worth I will go back again and again. Please keep up the quality of food and We will be back for more great Columbian food.

They were phenomenal. The fries were perfectly crisp (homemade or not), the pork succulent, the sauces flavorful, and the pineapple with the fresh cut jalapenos were the perfect balance of acid and heat to the rest of the dish. I finished them before I could even think to take a picture (I had to steal this one from Facebook). I honestly cannot wait to try more of their food. Bonus points for the A&M pride. #GigEm The reason for deducting a star is due to an accidental (I hope) pricing error. The Papas Ricas are listed on the menu for $8. I was charged $12.99 after tax. I assumed they must have added the $3 queso option without requesting it. This was not the case. I was left scratching my head with quesoless premium edition fries.

I am Colombian, and I adore Colombian food. When we first discovered Risaralda, it was one of the…read morebest restaurants around, and I used to recommend it frequently. However, I had a very bad experience regarding their pricing last Friday, May 1st. On Google Maps, a specific price is listed for the *Bandejita Paisa* on the menu; yet, when I went to place an order to treat my coworkers, I was surprised to find that the actual price was $5 higher. When I asked to speak with the manager, I was told that she could not attend to me and that I was required to pay the price listed on the restaurant's physical menu--they refused to honor the price shown on the Google menu listing. This situation upset me greatly--especially since I was a regular customer--and I was even more annoyed that the manager did not come out to speak with me, if only to offer an apology.

Authentic Dominican/Caribbean food in Willowbrook. Who knew?…read more I remember this place from a birthday party decades ago. The space was a bit bigger (they've since redesigned it smaller), but the crowds were smaller. Success hasn't tarnished their food. It was a very rainy and soggy afternoons and the place was packed. We managed a table and ordered. Can't go wrong with the delicious shrimp mofongo. I honestly think the sauce is the icing on that cake, made all the more delicious with a squeeze of lemon. Whew! Service was fast and dinner came out at a reasonable pace. The owner is so friendly and stopped by our table to make sure things were good. Better than good! If you're in the Willowbrook area do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch or dinner. Prices are a little steep, but what's isn't these days?

The juice was on the sweet side so just watered it down (wish they have smoothies), but they get 5 stars overall for the flavor and the price point.

The food itself may be good, but the lack of preparation and reliability made the experience very frustrating.
