    Great value for the money. Only issue I had was the service was pretty slow but there was only 1 worker at the time.

    Good size portions and great flavor. I would recommend the bandeja pisa . Arepa de chocolo was perfect

    El Cafetal Colombian Restaurant is a hidden gem of excellent and authentic Colombian food. My wife…read moreand I visited them recently, and the service impressed us. I ordered Bandeja Paisa, which comes with carne asada, red beans, chorizo, pork belly, egg, sweet plantains, and a small corn cake. It was a flavor ride in each bite. My wife ordered the carne asada, which was flavorful and well-seasoned. It came with a chimichurri sauce that made the dish come alive. Everybody raves about the authenticity and flavor of the food. Empanadas, tamales, and fried plantains stand out in particular. People also favored guava juice and unique drinks such as tamarillo and maracuya juices. Portions are large; platters can be shared. The place is warm, well-organized, and inviting, which makes me feel at home. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, providing a great dining experience. It is an unpretentious place, but the food and service at El Cafetal are great. If you are craving some authentic Colombian flavors, look no further. Definitely back soon!

    I wanted to try the Colombian cuisine in Idaho will visiting, as am Colombian and wanted to see…read morewhat it was like over there. We ordered for take out, and when I went in, I didn't see anyone besides two people at a table, wasn't greeted by anyone, despite waiting for a few minutes. I saw our order was up front so I confirmed it was ours and took it. The food was okay. My husband liked his stuffed arepas but I didn't particularly like the breaded chicken plate. I was thrown off by what seemed to be limited options, and although not necessary, a lot of Colombian restaurants in LA typically serve meals with rice and avocado, which wasn't what I saw here. It might've been a different experience if we had gone inside. I know they have a location inside the food hall in Boise, so if we are ever back in Idaho, we will give it a second shot.
