We chose a table for two to avoid taking up larger seating, but as the restaurant got busier, a worker approached us while we were still eating and asked if we could move so they could seat a larger party. I let them know we were almost done and they could have the table once we finished. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the service left a lot to be desired. I'm not sure I would return, but if you're craving Colombian food, it may still be worth a visit.

As someone who's Colombian, La Antioqueña really hits home for me. This has become my go-to spot…read morewhen I'm craving authentic Colombian food done right. There's a level of familiarity in both the flavors and the experience that's hard to find. I usually order the bandeja paisa, and it's exactly what you'd want from a classic. Generous, flavorful, and true to tradition. It's the kind of dish that brings you back to the roots of Colombian cooking. The beef empanadas are another favorite. Crispy on the outside, packed with flavor on the inside, and consistently satisfying every time. Between the authenticity, the quality, and the consistency, La Antioqueña is a place I keep coming back to.

The empanadas were to die for. I got 2 chicken and 2 beef for $11- what a deal. They're more of the…read morecorn based empanadas (different style than flaky Cuban empanadas). The lunch special ropa vieja was okay, not much sauce and a little dry for my liking. Perhaps this is just the Colombian style of ropa. It came with delicious soup and plantains. I ordered ahead online and did curbside pickup, but I'd definitely like to eat inside next time cause it seems like a fun atmosphere and good casual vibe. Will definitely be back to try some other things they're known for (friends rave about the bandeja paisa).

My wife and I received a gift certificate for this place from our friend and realtor after we…read moreclosed on our house in Ocala, having moved here from Central Texas. Located in a strip mall anchored by a Roses Discount Store, the place looked dark from the outside and the "Open" sign didn't appear to be lit but we knew they were open because of various Open yard signs in front of the establishment. Upon walking in, we were seated right away and presented the menu. They have daily specials but they didn't have pernil, although they had lechon asado like most of the Cuban/Latin American restaurants we've tried in the area. I ordered the lechon asado which came with yellow rice, fried plantains and red beans. My wife tried their Midnite Cuban sandwich. The lechon asado was flavorful (but of course no crunchy skin) and the yellow rice was good as well. My wife's sandwich, however, was a disappointment! The roast pork had an off taste and was gristly...she had to remove that meat from her sandwich. I tried her roast pork and was thinking of sending it back but my wife just removed all the meat from her sandwich. Perhaps we'll be back but definitely not ordering the Cuban sandwich again. Lunch for 2 came out to just over $30 with tip.

I ordered a large with Ropa Vieja, Yucca, Black Beans, and Coconut Rice. I love Cuban food and the portion was massive, however, I was disappointed. The Ropa Vieja was tender but watery, the yucca was soft but bland and a little chewy, and the beans lacked any seasoning. I liked the rice: savory with a hint of sweetness. The best word to describe the food was edible.

The wait staff was amazing. Smiles all around, gave great suggestions for drinks and food and we're so prompt to take care of things. Now for the food, we split the dinner for 2 and it was soooo much, it was a great sampling of their meats. The thinly cut steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection with some salt and pepper. It melts in your mouth, I ribs were super tender and the chicken was delicious as it was butterflied and seasoned so well. The chicharon could have used a little more seasoning but I added some salt and it was on point. We ordered rice and beans and I they were some of the most flavorful beans I've had. I will be back again.

What an incredible gem in Deland!…read more Parva is a delightful restaurant, bar, and bakery right on Woodland Blvd. The entire staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent throughout our time here. We arrived early for our reservation and grabbed seats at the bar. We were immediately greeted with a smile and extensive menus! This menu is so vast, it reminded me of the Cheesecake Factory in the best way. There is truly something for everyone here. Carnivores, vegetarians, vegans, you name it. I opted for the vegetarian "Vegetable Bowl" and my husband went for the fajitas after another guest recommended both items. The cilantro sauce and the caramelized plantains were my favorite part of the Vegetable bowl, and my husband loved every bite of his fajitas. Everything was hot, fresh, and it arrived quickly. There are a number of different dining areas here and we loved sitting in the back dining room in a comfy booth. Even though other diners were present, it felt like we had the place to ourselves because the tables are spaced far enough apart that there's plenty of personal space. No need to shout to hear your dining companions. All in all we loved Parva and look forward to coming back on our next trip to Deland.

I passed Colombia La Bella several times while in town and finally was able to stop in for dinner…read more My wife is Colombian so I am always sceptical of Colombia food and it's authenticity. When I sat down and read the little menu card of desserts they had on every table and notice tiramisu was offered I was wildly skeptical. But that is where it ended. What an amazing and authentic Colombian restaurant. I ordered the beans and rice with Maduros and everything was perfect! You may know Colombian food is very heavy otherwise I would have liked to order more but I had to save a little room for dessert. One true sign of an authentic Colombian restaurant is their breads (Pan de bono was served and it was amazing) and their dessert. Not tiramisu but brevas con queso. This is truly Colombian and is great when you can find it. This is a nice and clean restaurant with real Colombian food. I highly recommend it.
