    We have eaten at El Atico many times. This is a small Columbian restaurant that serves food with big flavors supported by excellent servers. Carolina is the owner and is usually there - say hello. Tonight we had the chicken quessadilla that was enormous and delicious. We also had the Rib Bone Soup. It had a hearty broth and lots of meat. It came with a side of rice which we added to the soup. We finished off an excellent meal with a Cappuccino and Flan. What a wonderful way to immerse yourself in a meal of Columbian food. We'll be back again soon. If you have not been to El Atico yet - you are missing out on a very nice restaurant that is locally owned - and the owner is there working side by side with her staff.

    This restaurant was featured on an Instagram influencer's post so I had to check it out! Growing up in Miami, I have a bit of expectations like good coffee and good food in general. I've visited this restaurant quite a few times so far and it's hit or miss with service timing. They get busy so be aware. I'm pretty sure this place is the most popular Colombian restaurant in the whole area. There's not many but this one is well decorated and has great food options. Empanadas are delicious, good picante sauce, fun options like cheese guava plantains, and every dish I have had is pretty good here. One thing I wish would be different is their coffee. I don't like their coffee at all. It's not strong at all.

    Came here with my sister. Guess what? They do have "obleas" and omg are they good!!! Got the sopa de costilla. Very good indeed! The broth was great, the rib was flavorful and very well cooked, just like back home. But again, the oblea is something you can't miss having. Would love to come back here.

    Cool little spot! Great location and super friendly staff. Stopped by for a quick bite with a friend. We decided to just do drinks and apps. The margaritas are delicious but pricy. All of the food was delicious! The guacamole with pork belly is amazing! Absolutely get some empanadas to go!

    Empanadas and salad.

    Waited a bit to be seated on a Sunday before 2pm. Crowded tight dining area. Good food and atmosphere. Service is slow to start, but friendly. Recommended.

    I asked for anarepa sandwich & they gave me this:

    Food was very poorly seasoned, there was no flavor, and the meat was dry & extremely overpriced. The only thing that they had going for them was good customer service.

    Great place small restaurant With a great menu I would definitely recommend the price is low for a great morning breakfast . Positive atmosphere with Latin music playing . Great service I was greeted as soon as I walked in & seated at a booth .

We had been to this location before when it was a different Latin restaurant. It's in the shopping center near the World Famous eggroll restaurant. There's plenty of free parking in the lot out front. I ordered the chicken with mushroom sauce. It came with white rice, salad, and a side of fries. The sauce was delicious on the grilled chicken breast meat. I wound up taking half of my meal home for dinner. My husband loves passion fruit. So when I told him this restaurant had several dishes with this fruit sauce, he was excited. He got the chicken with passion fruit (maracuya). His plate also had sweet plantains as well as rice and salad. For dessert, he got their passion fruit mousse, of course. And I tried their creamy rice pudding. I really liked it with its cinnamon sprinkled top. We were both very happy campers. I'm sure we will be back to try more of their Colombian menu.

The flavors are bold and strong. The meat pieces are chunky and thick. I ordered the shredded chicken soup. It is loaded with potato, pieces of corn on the cob, big cuts of white meat chicken.

The barista brewed me a nice single espresso which tasted good but the price at $4.25 was obnoxious and superseded the taste - again this was a single shot of coffee. I did appreciate the brown paper cup bearing the logo and also acknowledging that the coffee is locally roasted. The gender neutral bathroom was absolutely ultra contemporary with gray floor tiles and white rectangular wrap around wall tile with some potted greenery that popped against that gray, white and black color scheme.
