Without a doubt, it is THE WORST Colombian restaurant in all of Houston and it hurts me to say this as a Colombian. I was excited to a support a different and new Colombian spot, Ive been to many of them in and around Houston, and made a reservation here many days beforehand to watch Colombia play in the World Cup. The day arrives of the big World Cup match, and my family and I are ready with our friends to have an amazing experience (that never happened) at Gran Colombia. Our entire party is there, and they had us standing at the door for 15 minutes, because they couldn't find the reservation that they had confirmed with us 3 days beforehand. After standing, they found a crappy area in the corner that didn't even fit all of us. They put down chairs around it, and we were seated. It's funny, they hype up this restaurant all over social media as the place to be to watch Colombia play in the World Cups, but that is false advertising. The restaurant is a bit small, and they clearly don't have the capacity or staff to manage an event like this. They have a few screens to watch the game, a bar, and a bakery. However, this place is mediocre. They had a packed house for sure, with only about 2 waitresses running the entire restaurant, it makes no sense. We were seated in our crappy spot, and it took them 30 minutes to give us a menu. Mind you, we had arrive 45 minutes before the game started in anticipation of a fun time that never happened. It took another 30 minutes before a waitress took our order, and yet ANOTHER 30 minutes before our mediocre food arrived. We watched the entire first half of the game, in our crappy corner, with no food or drink. We were definitely starving and thirsty. We ordered a Picada, empanadas, Maracuyá Margarita, Arepas, and a Colombian burger. It was all terrible.... The Picada came out cold, ideally it should be a platter with all types of meat, potatoes, Yuca and plantains. OH AND IT SHOULD COME OUT AT LEAST WARM. Nope...didn't happen The Super Picada was small, the meat came out cold, the arepita was hard, and it was just not worth the price. The empanadas and burger were decent, but nothing special, you can find something 10x better at another Colombian restaurant. Also, THEY NEVER BROUGHT OUT THE AREPAS WE ORDERED. My poor son was eating out of our mediocre Picada, because his arepas never arrived. The service was non-existent and just poor. It was also ridiculously hot inside the restaurant. We looked at the thermostat and they had it at 80 degrees. Wow, just wow. I wasn't sure if we were at 'Gran Colombia' or 'Gran Sauna'. They really have this restaurant packed with people excited to watch fútbol and have the thermostat at 80... Once they finally decided to bring the check, it was pricey and of course, they included gratuity that they did not deserve. Gran Colombia is bottom of the barrell. Houston has such delicious Colombian restaurants, with tons of them in the Katy areas. They are all above this poor establishment. This is not the spot to watch a game or spend your money. Nonexistent service with mediocre food that is not worth the price. No señor....

Adicionalmente regrese los frijoles no tenían sal se les olvido al cocinarlos, sin problema pedi cambio por ensalada roja me informaron que seria aparte del plato que me lo cobrarían aparte, les respondí que si que me lo cobraran y así fue. Solo como recomendación si un cliente regresa parte de un plato fuerte por problemas de cocción y no les regreso el plato completo lo mínimo seria no cobrar una porción de ensalada, no por el monto en dinero sino por enmendar el mal rato.
