This review is not the easiest for me to write. I have been coming to the Little Columbian…read morerestaurant since 2015. I loved this place, their food was fantastic and the quality was super consistent; an excellent spot to get together with friends or a date. So much attention to detail was paid, house made dressing, salsa, all ingredients were super fresh, the meats were always cooked excellently, and the staff was friendly. I hadn't been to the restaurant in a while but at some point in the last few years the Little Columbian restaurant became My little Columbian restaurant. My friends and I went there for dinner at the end of October, there was one couple that was leaving the restaurant but we were the only ones there when we first walked in. The vibe of the restaurant has changed because they changed how they decorated the interior of the restaurant. I prefer their older vibe but no big deal. Our waitress was nice and very attentive all night and the staff in general was quite friendly. Here's my issue, the food quality is not as good as it was in the past. And if they are going to charge along the same lines as what they have, always been on the pricier side, then the quality should still be at the same level. There were a bunch of little things that added up. To start, the salad I ordered didn't have the same quality of greens (I think they used a spring mix in the past), there were some small bits of core in the salad. More to my disappointment the Salad dressing was no longer the house dressing they used to make it was Ken's balsamic dressing, which generally tastes like diabetes syrup. Maybe it was an off night for the salad and I could live with that but the lack of the old house dressing was disappointing. Speaking of cutting corners, the chimichuri used to be super fresh and of good quality ingredients. The chimichuri this time around had a lower quality olive oil and the parsley was dried instead of fresh. My friend ordered some empanadas, which were partially burnt and again the slasa wasn't the same quality as they used to make with the empanadas. For an entree, I ordered Bandeja Columbiana. The chicharon was a bit overdone but ok enough. The chorizo was probably the best part but you have to try to mess up chorizo. The maduro was kind of dry and somewhat bland. The chicken was a touch rubbery and the steak was fine; nothing to write home about. As I had mentioned before the food wasn't terrible, it was fine enough but it was not worth the price it cost. Much worse is the fact that the quality in general just isn't the same as it had been prior, maybe they just had an off night but something tells me this is how it is now. It's too bad this restaurant isn't quite what it was; it used to be one of my favorites.

The rice had a moldy taste to it and was sticky and unseasoned. The beans tasted like coffee, not even joking, I even had to add lemon so that they could at least be eatable. The carne was good but again wasn't the best. If you want some good Mexican/Latin food call ur damn mom. It was pretty dirty around the entrance and the tables were sticky.

Servers are friendly and service is very much an, "ask-and-you-shall-receive" type of place. If you're not used to speaking up to get drink refills, calling over your server to order, or anything else you'd like, you probably wouldn't be comfortable here. Personally, this is my type of place because I don't need servers hanging all over me while I shovel delicious food into my mouth. My favorites are their arroz con pollo, short ribs, and Bandeja Montanera.

Ordered chile rellenos, the three taco meal, and had a pork belly appetizer that we shared between us. Took most of it home, and I have to say, I love Mexican/Latin food, but this was the blandest selection of food I have had since trying a can of Amy's vegetarian Tom Kha soup. Amy sucks every last bit of flavor, joy and life from Thai cuisine, and while the food at Don Quixote wasn't depressing, it lacked what I expect from Latin food: A little spice, some savor, cultural pride maybe. I guess that's why we hadn't been back. But, if you look at reviews, most others seem to like it pretty well, so you'll have to decide for yourself. I may have been there too early, just as the kitchen was warming up, or maybe just an "off" day. Your experience may vary.

It's best to call ahead, as the food tends to take a while, but this seems to suggest that it is always freshly prepared- it certainly tastes that way. I love the pupusas- delicious with any and all fillings. I recently tried the barbecue chicken quesadilla, which, as the name suggests, includes barbecue sauce, and found it to be rather different and tasty. The rice and beans here are especially yummy- the rice fluffy and the black beans really flavorful (note: so flavorful that I suspect they are not vegetarian). The steak and onions combination plate is also a winner. And across the whole menu, the prices seem to be quite reasonable relative to the portion size.
