    Colombian flag right when you come in

    I've been going to Pueblito since 1998, I've celebrated so many years, achievements, etc The place doesn't changed, the food is a good way to remember Colombia, the service waiters are great!! Caliche and Fercho are always so friendly and ready for anything you need. Un excelente lugar para comer, bailar, Los meseros son muy amables, siempre atentos, un lugar donde puedes bailar cumbia, salsa, merengue, vallenato, bachata, y mas! Es un lugar familiar.

    First time to this Colombian restaurant & bar to watch the Copa America final with Colombia against Argentina. We were treated like royalty here from the moment we walked in and they were able to give our large group a big table for 8! The aesthetic in here is also extremely fun and cute as well. Lots of Colombian paraphernalia all around to see with plenty of colors that makes this place so special and unique from other restaurants in this area (and even Chicago as a whole). My partner and I ordered a Picada plate which is huge and fed the both of us with plenty of leftovers. They were definitely a little heavier on the meat, and we were hoping for a balance of more sausage and chicharrón. However, for the price point, you really can't beat it. We ordered some empanadas as well with us both preferring the carne instead of the pollo. I did find the carne one to be a little too salty however. The Ají was great! They have a handful of TVs all around the place - some older than others - however they have the speakers above blasting music and the big games which make it a good environment to come for these big events! They have plenty of aguardiente as well as Águila available. I know the night we came they had no Club Colombia or any other Colombian beer unfortunately. I saw Modelo and Corona however. Definitely recommend this place to others and will need to come back and try more food!

    Andres was our waitress and he was amazing. First time at Pueblo viejo food and environment was great. Definitely will come back.

    The food was incredible! It was my first time there, and I was blown away. We ordered the fish, steak, and chicken combo, and it was absolutely delicious. The ceiling was adorned with lots of flowers and lights, creating a Colombia vibe. We even caught a birthday celebration, which was a lovely touch. The portions were generous, and the service was impeccable. I just hope I can communicate in Spanish.

    We really enjoyed our experience at Pueblito! The Piña Colada was so fresh and yummy on a sunny day. The servers were friendly and everyone spoke to us in Spanish -- no surprise! You can tell from the inside that it is a local spot and I love that.

    I LOVE this place. I've been here three times. My biggest piece of advice is to not come during rush hour. You will be WAITING. However, the food is worth the wait.

    When do they have dancing?

    Are there any vegetarian dishes at this place?

    Not really. There's the Bandeja Sola, which is rice and beans and an arepa con queso. Main dishes all include a meat. They have fish as well.

    The food and service are amazing Thanks to cashier holder…read more Nice service The music too

    My lovely wife and I decided to have lunch at El Fogon de Elena on a very busy Sunday. This is a…read moresnug Colombian restaurant on Lawrence just a tad east of Kedzie. So our server stated that our first-choice food selections were not available (steak jibarito and beef arepa) so instead we then ordered empanadas (one beef, one shrimp) and the chuleta valluna. We noticed that the kitchen was slingin' some massive plates of food, so we decided to split the one entree and the empanadas. Well the server comes along and says they are out of shrimp empanadas. How can a restaurant be out of so many food items when it is barely past 1PM? We decided to do just the single entree and the single empanada. I also ordered a can of Inca Kola (good stuff, though I had to beg for the drink after our food was served), and we did get some ice water. The beef empanada was AOK, not bad. The chuleta valluna features a massive flattened breaded pork chop along with many items (rice, fries, yuca fries, tostones, yellow potato, salad). The menu mentioned this dish would also have sweet plantain, but perhaps the yuca fries were a sub for the sweet plantain. I gotta admit, the food overall is pretty good. The service from the staff was pleasant, but there was always something "off" during our dining experience. When the bill came, we were charged for the shrimp empanada that was not being served, so we had to ask for a corrected bill to deduct the missing empanada. Overall we had extremely mixed feelings about our lunchtime here. Perhaps it was just a super busy day here, but I am feeling overly generous with my three-star review.
