They also serve liquor here. The burger is phenomenal, and the grilled chicken sandwich is not flimsy or small at all. FYI: This place gets mobbed after all the bars close up. So if you plan on coming by, leave the bar a little early haha. TIP: My suggestion if you get the burger, make it a double! You will be very happy with it ;)

Nos encantó nuestra experiencia en este restaurante. Todo lo que pedimos estaba delicioso, fresco y…read morecon muchísimo sabor. Empezamos con unos jugos naturales y mini empanadas que estaban increíbles y fueron la manera perfecta de comenzar la comida. Yo pedí la bandeja paisa y mi esposo el salmón hawaiano, y ambos platos estaban espectaculares. Se nota que preparan la comida con mucho cuidado y buena presentación. De postre pedimos una ensalada de fruta y un chilado, y honestamente fueron el final perfecto para la comida. Todo sabía fresco y auténtico. El ambiance al igual que el service también fue muy agradable y algo que nos gustó mucho es que tienen estacionamiento en la parte de atrás. No es un estacionamiento enorme, pero sí suficiente y hace la visita mucho más cómoda. Definitivamente volveríamos y lo recomendamos si buscan buena comida colombiana.

I actually really appreciated that there were photos of each menu item, because it was hard to choose! I ordered the chicken arepa, which looks small but is mighty. Very flavorful and filling, and I loved the accompanying tomato onion relish (I believe called hogao). I also tried their sugarcane juice with lemon, which was a nice refresher that reminded me of a lightly sweetened lemonade. Overall an affordable and delicious meal. I haven't had much Colombian food before, and would come back to try more.

Everything felt welcoming, and I truly enjoyed my meal. The only thing I would suggest improving is the The server she was on her cell phone quite a bit, which took away somewhat from the customer experience. I understand that it can be difficult for business owners to stay on top of everything, but employees also need to do their part to ensure customers feel attended to. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and the restaurant, and I would definitely come back. Hopefully, the server improves, because this place has a lot going for it!

The combination of Peruvian and Colombian cuisines was so delicious. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in the area!

They also have excellent coffee and some many pastries and empanadas to eat in or take home to share. We sat for a while and the service was wonderful. It was on the Main Street and pretty busy.

Colombian-style empanadas differ as they are fried in a corn base, usually stuffed with a potato filling, cheese and a meat. El Rinconcito Cafeteria is also great place for a hearty lunch if you can secure a seat, as it sometimes gets quite busy.
