I had dinner at La Finca tonight with my family. We had la Bandeja Típica, and the meal did not disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was great, as was the ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This quaint restaurant is about 30 minutes from my house, but it's worth the drive. read more

My friend and I had such an unexpected and genuinely heartwarming experience with La Finca that I just had to share. We stopped by on a Monday not realizing they were closed, and as we were walking in, the manager Pablo kindly let us know. But instead of just turning us away, he went above and beyond in a way you truly don't see often anymore. He took the time to recommend another nearby restaurant, gave us keychains, and then--on our way out--stopped us to ask our names and told us he would take care of our entire bill at the next place. That level of generosity and kindness completely blew us away. You can tell right away that this is a place that truly cares about people, not just business. Because of Pablo, we will absolutely be coming back to La Finca on a day they're open--and we're actually looking forward to it even more now. If this is how they treat people when they're closed, I can only imagine how amazing the experience is when they're open. Highly recommend supporting a business like this. Hospitality like that deserves all the success in the world. read more

Prices are over the top and the taste is average. Do not recommend anyone to come to this place.

Nice little place. My wife enjoyed the carne asada, I got the flank steak. Rice and beans were delicious. They put a green sauce on our table when we arrived. It was a spicy hot sauce that you could literally eat with everything. So good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly staff, well decorated and a new place for us to enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant is very homey but a tad loud when there is a game playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service here was quick and food were hearty. Tried the mini churrasco which came with a side of rice, beans, and plantains - portions were large and filling, even for the mini. I wish the salt was a little less salted but otherwise sides and beef were good. The calamari batter was good and there was a nice heat to the sauce. My friend got the chicken with mushroom cream dish, which I tried, and it was also very hearty and tasty. One thing I found odd was gratuity was added to the receipt but they did not mention it and then ram my card with a printed receipt with the option to add more tip. Wish that was made more clear as I am sure others have missed it in the past. read more

Some days you just wake up and need some traditional Colombian cuisine. And this place hits the mark! It's a gem in Hicksville and I recommend you check them out. The minute you walk in you get greeted by the most friendly staff. The food is also made fresh, and you get a lot of it! I could not finish my plate. We started with some empanadas as an appetizer, it was crunchy crispy and they load it with filling. Be sure to ask for the salsa rosada (pink sauce) and the ají (spicy green sauce). For entree I went with the Bandeja Typica, it was flavorful, the meat was grilled perfectly, the rice delicately seasoned and the deep fried pork belly was incredible. It comes with a fried egg avocado, sweet plantains and a small arepa. By the end of the meal there was not much more room for dessert but we cant wait to go back and try out their tres leches cake and flan. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Please note they do get busy on the weekends and parking out front gets packed. They have off site parking behind the building itself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Ate outside in back area at La Finca Colombian restaurant. The Lemon chicken had good flavor though the ends were hard. The grilled chicken was better cooked. The water with lime was a refreshing instead of with lemon. The side of rice and beans was tasty. I opted for neither of the 2 desserts .

Been here a couple of times and had a hankering for some pollo con Aroz y frijoles. Small space, what looked like a patio in the back and a full bar. Hone your español skills and settle in. Parking along the side of the building and a few spots on the shoulder out front. I ordered from lunch menu which offers smaller portions and slightly lower prices than dinner menu. Steady stream of pick up and what I assume were Uber Eats drivers & or Grub Hub. Decor very reminiscent of the homeland (if you are from Colombia of course) Friendly staff who are bilingual so no worries. read more

Came for the first time and was impressed. Small place with parking in the back and outdoor seats. I got the steak and rice with beans but i asked for plantains instead of beans. Comes with a green spicy sauce on the side. This was very good! The steak is thin and cooked great, but if it was a thicker steak or 2 pieces would fill everyone up. The margarita was a special 2 for the price of one. It was excellent!!! Salty and strong!! Definitely will come back to try a different dish. read more

I have been coming here for about 9 years now and the food is very delicious and well-priced. When compared to other restaurants in the area, you get more for your money in food here. Also, the food always tastes fresh here. The service is good. I think they genuinely take pride in their food and establishment. The restaurant itself has some awesome Colombian decor. I recommend going here for lunch or dinner one day with you family or spouse. They have many different options on the menu to choose from. read more

We called on the phone for takeout, the restaurant people are very very polite very patient it was a wonderful experience,, Carlos one of the managers was a very nice guy,, there's a freestanding building the colors of the Colombian flag are painted on the building,, inside it's a sit down place with Bar,, they have authentic sodas from Columbia,, as for the food delicious very tastefulSpicy and flavorful, I particularly liked the bandeau tipica (typical tray) ..

Maracuya) excellent..Stop by for some good authentic Colombian home cooking read more

Service was horrible . The gentleman who served us had a major attitude. He brought out the wrong food and when I said I did not order he said "yes you did". I would never order liver ever. Then he said well now it's going to be another 15 mins . He never came back to see if all was ok . He made us feel uncomfortable. When my food came it was flavorless.we asked for a too go for my drink I was charged an extra 1 for that as well without being told . I asked for the owners phone number to speak to him and was told no. I gave my phone number and I'm still waiting for a call back. I was trying to give them a chance and his attitude got worst and worst . read more

I feel like La Finca has been around forever but I just never visited until recently. My boyfriend kept saying how great the food is blah blah so we decided to go. On a Saturday night it was quick to get a table. It's a tiny establishment but they make it work. They have a huge Corona sign when you walk in but I was told they don't actually sell Corona so instead I got a Modelo which was ice cold and just what I needed. The menu is pretty basic but has something for everyone. I decided to go with something safe and get the arroz con pollo. My boyfriend got the steak with chicharrones. The arroz con pollo was a huge serving and I was excited to try it but was left greatly disappointed. I believe they put tomato of some sort into the rice mixture and it threw off the taste completely. All I tasted in each bite were tomatoes. The chicken was moist but the tomato taste was overpowering - and I typically LOVE tomatoes. The dish came with a single maduro that was probably the best part of the meal. The side salad was a joke with one cucumber, two tomato slices, and some sad looking lettuce. My dish also came with a soup to start and it was covered in cilantro. My boyfriend (who before that night loved this place) even said his meal was lacking flavor and just not that great. Is the food bad? Nope. Is it what you're expecting? Nope. I'd rather continue to go to Pollos El Paisa where the food quality is always excellent. read more

mixed review but mostly not great unfortunately. We are not Colombian but have Colombian friends who turn out amazing food so we expected a lot of fun and flavor. The atmosphere of restaurant is very nice. Tight but colorful and comfortable. Started with beef and chicken empanadas. They were good. Hot and some favor, but a bit oily. Figured we try one of the "special" plates - a mixed platter for two. It was awful. Everything except for some thin slices of chicken and beef was fried. Few pieces of Chorizo sausage deep fried til hard and no flavor. Only two tiny tiny pieces of "rib" also deep fried bland and fatty. Tons of pork rinds deep fried and mostly fat. Was looking forward to plantains but they were smashed into flat pancakes and deep fried til hard - no flavor. Corn cakes greasy and flavorless. Needless to say entree was a big disappointment. Had almond cake for dessert - that was very good and presented beautifully. Service was friendly, a bit slow, but everyone was working hard in a full restaurant. Maybe we just ordered the wrong thing. read more

Good tasty hearty food without the fanfare or pricy tab. Well worth a visit and definitely the takeout can't be beat

Being half Colombian, I've always found myself in an interesting position when going to latin restaurants, especially of the Colombian flare. Going into any Latin restaurant I usually feel somewhat out of place being unable to speak Spanish but I felt very welcome here by the staff. Upon being seated, I found that the menu was well sorted out by type of meat as well as Colombian specialties (think: typical platter). I ended up getting one of the cheaper options, a $6.50 ground beef platter and it was exactly what I was looking for. In my past experiences at Colombian restaurants I always felt like I didn't finish my plate because extras were thrown in I just didn't want, but here they had enough variety among dishes that you could get a typical platter with eggs, beef, pork, rice and beans or choose from other platters that used some of the above ingredients, down to the lowly ground beef platter which was just seasoned ground beef and rice. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and left full. I also got some empenadas with both chicken and beef. My girlfriend got a passion fruit smoothie which she enjoyed. Overall, I actually prefer this location to Pollos En Paisa which is a somewhat nearby Colombian restaurant down Old Country Road. La Finca also does take-out and delivery, so if you're local this is a great choice for a very competitively priced, and different meal than the usual Italian or Indian options available in the direct area. There really aren't many Colombian options on Long Island and I've been to most of them, luckily the best I've been to is 5 minutes from me. read more

I'm a big fan of La Finca. Such an authentic Colombian restaurant from the way the restaurant looks to the food. Everything tasted absolutely delicious. We had the churrasco, bandeja paisa, and empanadas. Love the spicy sauce they serve with everything! Took one star away because the restaurant is pretty small! Definitely recommend taking your food to go. read more

To be able to find Colombian food on Long Island is hard enough in itself, to find a place that's actually good... Well that's La Finca. The food here is that of simple dishes that seem to be fairly authentic and not really dumbed down for a non Colombian crowd. There's always a soup of the day that's something that reminds me of what my grandmother would cook up for me, something like ox tail or good caldo with chicken parts and not just little pieces of chicken. I love their empanadas and they're that of the Colombian style, stuffed with potatoes and some bits of shredded beef. Entrees are pretty solid and the Colombian platters are great and plentiful and the price around 11 bucks cant be beat! The interior is simple and with a lot of trinkets and decor that looks like something of an outdoor eatery or flea market in Columbia or at least that's what I'd imagine it to look like. Overall a decent place to catch a good meal with decent prices and good service that doesn't rush you out the door. read more

La Finca Restaurant - Outside seating. - Colombian Near Me - Hicksville, New York

I loved the food at this charming cozy little place! I had the bandeja tipica, a dish at a great price, IIRC about $12, with a lean, thin steak, CHICHARRON (fried pork rind, guilty pleasure!), fried egg, baked beans, rice, fried plantain, and a small corn cake. I also ordered a beef empanada ($1.25), a beef patty, for an appetizer. While the food is amazing, the prices here are so affordable. A "mini" version of the above platter is available for just $9.25! The bandeja tipica for me is a weakness... it's a very hearty platter of great-tasting food. The steak, like I said, is a thin cut of meat and can be a bit tough, but still quite rich in flavor. The chicharron is a thick cut of pork skin, like a thick cut of bacon, crispy with meat, fat and skin on it. The rice is not bland but cooked savory and just right, as are the beans. The fried plantain was quite sweet and soft. The arequipa, or corn cake, was quite dry and hard - not my preference when it comes to baked corn goods, but I'm not complaining for the variety and quantity of food provided here. The empanada was alright - the bread on the outside was not impressive. The place is charmingly decorated with items and motifs from rural Colombia, some Colombian music videos are playing on the television. Service is very friendly. Definitely a great place to go with friends. read more

The food is very homemade Colombian style. Everything from the Chicken to the "La Finca" plate was delicious. I would recommend the waitress with the glasses and blonde streaks in her hair, she is very courteous and naturally sweet. The older waitress seemed really angry the first time we went, but the 2nd time she really tried hard to be nice. I felt bad because I could tell it was an effort but I did appreciate it. Some people aren't cut out for the service industry. But whoever the woman is who is at the front bar/register on the left when you walk in doesn't help the aura. You can tell being a hostess is not her thing either. But if you're not needy on the red carpet treatment and good food is all you want this is the place for you! Oh, another point, stay away from flan and tres leches desserts. The flan isn't bad, but I've had a lot better. And the tres leches is more like a white flan than a tres leches cake. You can pretty much call it a one leche cake lol Or white flan lol Other than that all the food and shakes were amazing! read more

I have been going to La Finca for quite some time. The food is always good. However my last trip there I was confused with the menu being that the quarter chicken is not a quarter chicken it's a chicken cutlet, but the menu says quarter chicken. It's been like this for sometime and I think the menu should get changed if they don't serve it anymore. The drinks are very good the food always good however the gentleman that sat us and waited on us must've been having a bad day or it's just not very happy to be working, he tried to upsell us on water bottles we did not ask for. Also when we ordered the quarter chicken he did not tell us until it was actually served that it was not a quarter chicken. This should have done before we ordered it. I was not happy with the overall attitude of the restaurant that day but I'll get back there and give it another chance. read more

Been here quite a few times, always satiated. Good solid peasant food! Tonight, along with a glass of pinot grigio, I sampled the skirt steak, with a side of chimichurri sauce (olive oil, garlic, parsley). The chimichurri sauce was DEE-licious on top of the steak! The sides were the standard stick-to-your-ribs, rice, beans, arepa and plantain - *love* the plantains. The flan is from a can, (or so it tasted), but it's forgiven, because they did a fine job with the presentation. Viva Colombia! read more
