I'm Colombian and from Indianapolis. We come to Siesta every year to see family. We can't get Colombian food in Indy so Mi Sitio is always a treat. Their pan de bono are so good! Chewy, warm, just the perfect texture and always fresh! The empanadas are crispy and delicious. Have a chorizo and a chicharron, squeeze a lime on it and wash it down with a cold Colombia's soda... you'll be glad you did. read more

La comida como siempre excelente, el servicio como siempre el más malo posible. Poca atención, mala cara, no te prestan atención, te traen la orden mal. En fin un desastre total. Que pena de verdad. Mi esposa quiere comer aquí de ves en cuando, para recordar las raíces hispanas. Pero nunca nunca de nunca hemos tenido buenos servicios. He venido más de 20 veces en 12 años. read more

Glad we finally stopped by We stopped in last night and had a good dinner. For me it was their Carne Asada, a grilled steak with grilled onions, a small salad, rice, and their sweet plantains as my sides. My wife got their Cazuela de Mariscos, a creamy seafood stew she really liked and brought enough home to be the base for our dinner tonight. As for my steak, it was pretty much what I expected, thin sliced well done meat with lots of onions, very good. We liked our server, easy to talk with and ask questions. The food took less than 10 minutes. I did spot a note as we entered that they have a service charge for using plastic, something that is becoming more common in this area. After verifying that with our server, we just paid cash. It showed on our receipt what the cash and credit prices were, we did a quick calculation and it was 4%. We liked our visit, liked the wood look, convenient parking. read more

Did take out. I was so please. Take out can be a bit like Russian roulette. You just don't know what you're gonna get. Well let me just say I SCORED. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Nice and warm, flavorful & meat was tender and cooked perfectly. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our dinner. Staff is friendly and hard working. I'll most definitely will be back. Sacamos una orden. La comida para llevar puede ser un poco como la ruleta rusa. Simplemente no sabes lo que obtendrás. Bueno, déjame decirte que yo marqué. Todo llegó en perfecto estado. Agradable y cálido, sabroso y la carne estaba tierna y perfectamente preparada. No puedo decir lo suficiente sobre cuánto disfrutamos nuestra cena. El personal es amable y trabajador. Definitivamente regresaré. read more

We have been to Mi Sitio Colombian Restaurant at least twice. We wanted to go today, but they are closed on Mondays which is not indicated on the yelp profile correctly. I requested that change. We are pretty obsessed about the food here. It's one of the best we have had and do tend to gravitate towards Colombian food. We have had their empanadas, pan de Bono, papas criollas, cazuela de Mariscos, and Ajiaco. We always come here when it's cold outside so this food is so warm and comforting and so good. The people who work here are super friendly and helpful. After eating here, we go to their market two doors down and buy a bunch of Colombian groceries to take home. There's also an Argentinian pastry shop in the same plaza and on Mondays when they are closed, there is El Ceviche which is Peruvian and pretty amazing too! read more

Finally found a good Colombian restaurant that's nearby ! This small but delicious gem is located in a small plaza that has shared parking with other restaurants and establishments. Came here on a Tuesday afternoon and it was pretty packed (Colombia was playing) however we still were able to get a table right away. The staff is super friendly and helpful! The food was good and pretty quick even though it was busy. I got the carne asada with rice and yuca. SOO GOOD! Especially recommend the yuca with that pink sauce! Parking is decent since it's in a small plaza, restrooms are okay. The prices aren't bad for the great food you get, We will definitely be coming back soon! read more

Un sábado a las 11:00 de la mañana, con antojo de un cafecito y un pan de bono, entro a "Mi Sitio". El restaurante está vacio salvo un señor en una mesa. Hay tres meseras. Pongo mi orden. Y espero. En seguida me traen el pan de bono. Y espero el café. Una de las meseras se me para al frente y se toma sú café. Le pregunto por mi café. La otra mesera está sentada. La otra mesera está ahí, parada haciendo nada. Vuelvo a preguntar por mi cafe. Han pasado unos 10 minutos. Al fin pagué por el pan de bono y me paré. Y una de las meseras tiene la osadía de decirme que tengo que aprender a ser mas paciente. No se molesten en ir a "Mi Sitio". No vale la pena. Saturday morning, at 11:00, I'm in the mood for a pan de bono and some coffee. Decided to stop in at "Mi Sitio". The place is empty except for a man at a table. I sit down place my order. They bring the pan de bono. I'm waiting for my coffee. One of the waitresses is standing behind the bar drinking her coffee. The other waitress is sitting down and the last one is standing there doing nothing. I ask for my coffee again. By now it's been about 10 minutes. I get up pay for the pan de bono and, as I'm leaving, the waitress that was sitting down had the gall to tell me that I need to learn some patience. Don't bother going to "Mi Sitio". It's a waste of time. read more

Very attentive servers. Ambiance was family friendly. Portion sizes of food plates were pretty large. Empanada starters were so good. Especially the chicken ones accompanied by the sauces. Seafood soup in yellow sauce was very tasty although the seafood seemed to be from a frozen mixed bag. Kind of tough pieces in there that were hard to chew. The big sample plate was a hit with our party, though. Lots of food for those big appetites! Side of beans tasted more like a home made batch of Mexican pinto beans but were ok. Lots of options for varied tastes. Prices were reasonable. read more

I was on my way back from Myakka River State Park and I wanted Colombian. I did a Yelp search and found Mi Sitio. It was a little out of the way, but I am SO happy that I tried it. The restaurant is in the corner of an interesting shopping plaza. There were a few other places here I would not mind trying. The restaurant looked really nice and clean on the inside. It is well maintained. It was also packed on a Tuesday afternoon at around 1:30pm. I took that as a great sign! I came in with a plan for cafe con leche, pan de bono, and grilled chicken. That is precisely what I ordered. I munched on a pan de bono as I waited on the rest of my food to arrive. All of the food was delicious! I do wish the cafe con leche was a little hotter, but the flavor was outstanding. It did not last long. I may have licked the straw and attempted to scrape the foam out of the cup when it was gone. I was tempted to order another, but I did not want to overdo it. The grilled chicken was extremely flavorful. I asked for hot sauce since I know most Colombian restaurants make their own. I received two small cups of it and it did not disappoint. My chicken did not need it because it was flavorful.. but I used every bit. The beans were typical of the red beans that I have had at other Colombian restaurants. They had a lot of flavor. I also had a salad and sweet plantains. The salad was fresh and well dressed. The plantains were delicious. I prefer mine cooked just a tiny bit more to achieve more caramelization, but it did not stop me from devouring them. I also want to add that service was impeccable. My waiter was attentive and friendly. He even joked with me about not liking the pan de bono (because I was strong and resisted eating them both..one went home for later). It was also a lot of food and I had leftovers. I really enjoyed my experience here. I will come back when I am in the area. read more

One of my favorite places to stop by for a quick snack! Beef empanadas are yummy and reasonably priced. Staff wear mask and clean surfaces. No outside sitting area but plenty of tables inside. I have tried the cheese bread, chicken empanada and beef empanada so far and the beef empanada is the winner so far! You can also place an online order and pick up at store. read more

Ordered form this place for delivery and they sent the breaded chicken dryer than my grandma. Stale and basically burnt. The rice was horrible and they forgot to send in 5 other items I ordered. Also the pork was horrible. Hopefully they do better. read more

I think this is my first time having Colombian food. I'm in town visiting family and they took me here for dinner. We walked in and there were only a few people in the restaurant but with it being Halloween maybe the rest was out trick or treating. The place looks clean and had a few TVs and Colombian music in the background. We started off ordering their fresh squeezed fruit juices: guanabana (soursop), limonada and maracuyá (passion fruit), our server asked if we wanted our juices mixed with water or milk (except for limonada) and we asked for water. You can really taste the fruits natural flavors and sweetness. Really good drinks. We all ordered their Bandeja Paisa. My understanding it is one of their best dishes. It is basically a meat platter! It was served with beans, rice, corn cake, plantain, grilled/ground beef, fried pork belly, sausage, and egg. Hot/mild sauce available as well. The serving is huge, two people can easily split this dish. All the meat looked so good, my favorite was the crispy fatty pork belly. (If you follow me, you will know by now my obsessions with greasy fatty foods). The pork skin can use some more time to crisp up, there was still some chewiness to it. The beef had a nice marinade and eat bite was really tasty, and the sausage was ok. We also ordered the Pandebono, this is a Colombian cheese bread. It was just put into the oven and it was about 15 mins wait, but I'm telling yah, it was worth the wait! The smell was so inviting! Eat it while it's hot. You get the crispy outside and chewy goodness in the inside. It was so good! Price was very affordable and with their huge servings, it's a deal! Customer service was great! Very friendly and accommodating with questions regarding their menu. Their restaurant is located in a small strip mall with a parking lot with lots of spaces. My sister brought a couple here who are familiar with Colombian food and that couple said that their food is really authentic Colombian! If you are in Sarasota/Bradenton or even Tampa area and want to try authentic Colombian food. Come and try Mi Sitio Colombian Restaurant and you will not be disappointed. read more

We were in Sarasota last weekend and wanted to try some Colombian food. Well it's been days since we visited and I still have the pandebono on my mind . Be sure to not miss out on those little cheesy doughy bread balls as an appetizer. The CAZUELA DE MARISCOS is such a unique dish! Highly recommend. This translates to seafood casserole and it is very similar to a crab or lobster bisque flavored soup that is just loaded with seafood. Served with crispy plantains, we enjoyed dipping those in almost like croutons. While I enjoyed the churrasco skirt steak, I wish the chimichurri had more flavor like more garlic or vinegar to add more of a kick. The white garlic sauce was nice with this and the sweet plantains that I had been craving were cooked very nicely. Both entrees had very large portions! We did not make it to dessert this round. Would love to come back and try some empanadas before dinner and also some flan. If you are looking for a fun drink to try, the Jugos naturale en leche con MARACUYÁ is a fantastic icy creamy smoothy with passion fruit. read more

BEST chicharrones I have had with tostones in ages. Loved the freshly cooked meal for $6.50! It was superb. Lunch is hopping here. So call and order ahead if you need to grab and go. You may still need to wait a few minutes but so very worth it. The entrees here are very generous and there is a bilingual menu. No worries some pictures too. The staff is bilingual so you won't have a problem add to the vast hispanics frequently dining here, any of us will be happy to help you out. There is a bakery section for quick nibbles but the food is clearly the star. There are ample booths to accommodate your small or large groups but tables that can be united. This place has a steady flow of clients and orders. Food is fresh and made to order for you. Best red beans too. Did I say, plates are huge, so you will have leftovers and two can dine for less than $40.00. The Colombian food is full of chicken, pork and seafood options, so come hungry. read more

Love going here when im missing some Colombian food. All the servers are super nice. Can never go wrong with breakfast or lunch here. I wish it was in a bigger shopping with better parking but thats out of their control. 5/5 would recommend read more

I am a big fan of Colombian food, but will admit I have not tried it in many occasions. I ordered the arepa with queso for my son, simple, tasty and perfect for a picky eater. My husband ordered the Bandeja Paisa and I got the Carne Desmechada. The idea is there but definitely lacked flavor and seasoning on both entrees. To accompany we ordered the Guayaba fresh juice and it was perfectly refreshing giving it an authentic experience to Latino eateries. (Fresh juices or water are a must) The restaurant is situated in a strip mall/shopping center, very casual and you get to pick your table. read more

I absolutely love this place. The food is so good. A friend from Columbia took me there for the first time a few years ago and ordered what she was having which was Chuleta Calena, a breaded pork loin. Omg it's delicious. As are the sweet plantains, rice and beans. I'm sure everything is amazing but I don't know that I'll ever order anything else because I love the dish so much. read more

Food was excellent!! Both my friends and I loved our food I wish I would've taken a picture. Service was a little slow. She checked on us once and our waters stayed empty for a long time until the end of the meal. When it was time to pay they bring the credit card machine it to the table and it's auto set to tipping 25%. I normally tip 20% on good service. This wasn't great service but left it on the 25% due to her standing and watching while we tipped which was uncomfortable. There's 3 options, the one below was 20%, 25% which is auto selected and above was a higher %. Maybe I should start carrying cash to avoid these situations in the future and suggest those reading to do the same. read more

Very good local Colombian joint. Well worth the visit. Try the desserts. You will not regret it.

My favorite Colombian restaurant. Authentic and delicious. Be sure to order the empanadas as an appetizer. They are the best in town.

The staff very nice. But food not good for being Colombian. My salad had no dressing. Beans lacking so much flavor. Even May me sick to my stomach. The ajiaco lacked flavor too and no cream nor alcaparras. Had to add some salt and lemon to obtain some flavor. Never going back. If you know about Colombian food, you'll know this is not the greatest. Sorry! read more
