Lo mejor de Colombia a simple and humble place. extremely welcoming. Their fast service. My experience was unique, it is the true taste of Colombia in one place. My first appetizer was tripe soup; OMG, it was delicious, filling. I also tasted an almojábana bread that was like talking to God again. the bun was warm, with its characteristic cheese flavor. my favorite. Another dish that I was able to taste was the Santafereño ajiaco, it was delicious, but it lacked the capers and milk cream to be perfect. My star dish was the Bandeja Paisa, which was complete. Rice, beans, fried ripe plantain, pork rinds, roast beef, ground beef, avocado, fried egg, blood sausage and chorizo. The variety of Colombian juices is varied and wide, but I died slowly with Lulo juice. It was just perfect. Sweetness, acidity and frozen. Lina our waitress with the authenticity of the service made us feel at home. The Colombian atmosphere and decoration show the Latin roots and the originality of the place. When I return to PR, to the island of Encanto, I will surely return to this restaurant called Lo Mejor de Colombia. it's definitely the best

Visita del dia de hoy con mi esposo y mis 3 hijos. (5 personas) Servicio lento y malo. Llegaba todo…read moresuper lento. Luego no nos recogian platos de entremeses ni bebidas como se supone. Pedi un plato para mi hijo y me dijeron no lo tenia por tanto pedimos otra cosa. SE espero casi 30 min y entonces me dicen de la bandeja paisa mia no tenian carne molida. Osea, 30 min y no habian preparado la orden aun. Se espero periodo largo por platos. Al llegar ordenes el churrazco que me dieron como sustituto para la bandeja estaba gomoso como juguete. Pese a haberlo pedido bien cocido, el corte de carne no se pudo jamas cortar con cuchillo ni manos, literalmente era un pedazo de goma y rojo. Del plato de mi esposo, que era La picadera el Ricon; la carne estaba imposible de comer, parecia carne seca como Jerkey y el olor era de carne dañada o abombada. El sabor desagradable. No se pudo disfrutar ni de la visita por el mal servicio ni de la comida ya que estaba pesima. Se le informó a la mesera y se desaparecio por rato largo. Otra mesera cuando le dio la gana de aparecer a cobrar todo los entremeses, bebidas y los 5 platos, se le dio a oler la carne y asintio que si era desagradable. Al volver a explicarle que desde 5:30 pm apriximado estabamos alli esperando por la orden y lo malo que nos trajeron a la mesa, la mesera se fue y dijo buscaria al getente. Psaron casi 15 min y nadie apprecia. Fui a la caja a pagar en area de la barra y a dar la queja de lo disagreeable de la comida y del pesimo servicio. Tristemente e visitado Colombia ya 2 veces y su comida no es así, este lugar no representa ni el servicio, alegría ni la buena gastronomia colombiana. Esta experiencia fue una desgracia. Y ni chef ni gerente dieron la cara. Trnsacción 600042 ticket se cerro a las 7:06 pm y nos sirvio pesimo Sara. La misma a la que acudi para pagar los $174.57 sin propina ya que la comida y la experiencia fue fatal. Ahh y las arepas que nos sirvieron en cada plato eran piedras de rio de lo duras que eran. Aquello estaba incomible. No recomiendo este lugar. Porque no mostraron ningun interes en que la comida estaba en tan pesimas condiciones. Y solo digeren que " la gerente" estaba muy ocupada como para salir a atender nada. Si quieren intoxicarse com carnes abombadas o perder dientes con las piedras que dan de arepas. Este es el lugar. NO LO RECOMIENDO. THIS PLACE ITS A FOOD HAZARD WITH A BAD SERVICE.

For the price, I honestly expected a larger portion, and I still left hungry after my meal. My suggestion would be to increase the size of the arepa by about 25%. That would better match the presentation and make the price feel much more justified. The food is delicious, but the portion size is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5.

Steak tacos were decent, husband liked his crab Mofongo, but the guac was very soupy. They put a dollop of pico on top for aesthetics, and I think it just caused it to become watery and tasteless.

It's just that you're basically getting food truck vibes and what is essentially street food for a nice, full service price point. The food is hearty- you don't need to order much to get full. Stick to what this place is good at, arepas. They load it to the max and their assortment of sauces are pretty impressive. One thing I gotta say though, $10 for an orange juice is egregious at any level. I could be at the four seasons in Bali and that would still make me raise my eyebrows. Even then I ordered it like a doof and it was like 3/4 ice!! C'mon yall, just take it off the menu if it's like that. Overall, the 24-hour aspect is nice and the food is decent. I can see myself paying a premium after a long night out, but just watch what you get because that bill can run up quick.

It was good! I'm Puerto Rican and I was born and raised in Puerto Rican culture and I can say Orozcos is legit. I ordered their amazing Chuleton Kan Kan with arroz con gandules. (Big crispy pork chop with yellow rice and pigeon peas) It was delicious but you have to eat it traditionally with your hands. Don't try to be proper just dig in like the locals do. Just treat of a piece, eat it and then eat some rice. Mmmmm!!! Don't forget their signature hot sauce it's delicious but not too spicy. My daughter and wife ordered the monfongo with Bistec and mini empanadillas which is a regular beef empanada cut in half. Mix some of that hot sauce with it and BAM! You got the perfect appetizer. The monfongo was their star. I was chowing down on my pork chop but I had to steal a few bites lol. The beef was tender and delicious and the monfongo was soaked in the steak sauce, it was bliss! The staff were funny and very efficient and they all helped each other out. The atmosphere was personal and small with amazing salsa music playing and air conditioners blasting. It was so comfortable I highly recommend Orozcos!!!
