    Our friend from Jacksonville introduced us to Salento Colombian Steakhouse, and I'm so glad they did. The food was outstanding, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere felt very welcoming and family-oriented. The fresh juices were my favorite--so refreshing and instantly reminded me of my travels to Colombia and Ecuador. I also loved their homemade chimichurri sauce and ended up using it on everything, from the grilled steak to the tostones. If you're looking for authentic Colombian food with great flavors and a warm vibe, I highly recommend Salento Colombian Steakhouse.

    My aunt and uncle and I came here for dinner tonight. It's been quite a while since I've been here. I completely forgot how ginormous the chicken breast was! It's like four huge breast combined as one. The flavor of the chicken was great and I really loved the vegetable kebab. The salad was fresh and the salmon was a little dry, but tasted OK he said. We had a wonderful server who had a gentle smile and was very pleasant. The restaurant was very busy but very home like feeling, which is a great ambience for Friday night. Watching the teams work together seemed like one happy family, and it makes you feel warm and embraced when you walk in the door.

    Steak, ribs, pork, chicken & sides

    Food, service everything is top notch. You can't go wrong here. Everything we have tried has been great! The chicken, steaks, ribs, sausages, pork, soups, sides. They don't really have a lot of desserts to offer I've tried the flan and red velvet cup but they are very good. I highly recommend this place.

    The moment that I opened the door and walked into Salento, I knew I'd made an excellent choice. You probably would not expect to find such a charming restaurant located within a typical shopping plaza. I loved the entire vibe from the decor to the staff's gaucho uniforms and the friendly welcome I received as I entered. My server Diana was amazing. She immediately brought me some mint water to enjoy while I browsed the gorgeous menu (had to get a pic of it). I decided on the 8oz Flat Steak with corn cake, fried potatoes, & green plantains as my three sides. My steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the sides were delicious too. Especially the potatoes- I'm not sure how the skins were still intact considering how soft the inside was of each potato. I love Colombian coffee so I had to order a cafe con leche to enjoy with the meal. I drink iced coffee 99% of the time, but I could not resist & it was worth it. I even loved the mug so much that I bought one to bring home. This was the best meal I've had in ages! I can't wait to return or possibly check out their second location in Silverleaf.

    The Personal Combination with Sweet Plantain and Grilled Vegetable Skewer

    This was my first time at Salento. Went with my manager and coworkers for lunch. The food was amazing. I ordered the combination and everything was delicious. So much food I couldn't eat it all. The server was attentive and the restaurant was clean and spacious. You can't go wrong going to Salento. Will definitely go back.

    I have been to this location a few times before. I decided to go here for lunch yesterday. Parking was slightly difficult to find being that it's a shared parking lot. In after having to wait a couple of minutes, I did manage to find an available parking spot. The service was very good that day, and the restaurant was slightly crowded as well. For lunch I decided to order their yellow rice with shrimps and fried green plantains to accompany the meal. It also came with a tiny salad as well, which was fresh and very good too. I also love their various grilled meat selections. They grill it very well. I'm definitely returning here soon, because I love various types of grilled meats.

    16 oz. NY strip butterflyed(comes with 3 sides) PS. Cooked perfectly!

    A spur of the moment decision to eat at this tucked away restaurant was quite a delight. Walked in on a Friday night and was seated quickly. Our waiter, Cesar, was prompt and attentive. The menu is extensive but he helped to explain the details. We ordered empanadas and we're given the ability to choose 2 different types - went with Hawaiian and beef. Took a few minutes but were hot and delicious when they arrived. For mains, I chose Bandeja Paisa and my husband chose the butterfly NY strip. We both got red beans and rice as sides. I'm used to a little more spice in the red beans I like (but those are Cajun so understandable), but these were very well cooked and delicious in a different way. Overall an wonderful, spontaneous date night meal. We will be back!

    Salento Special
    Megan W.

    This place is phenomenal! The food was absolutely amazing and my fiancé and I were highly impressed with the level of service, quality of food, and the menu prices. We appreciated that the ambiance wasn't super upscale, which allowed for more casual dining experience while still receiving high-quality food and service. We had the empanadas and the Salento special!

    A friend invited me here for my birthday. I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant . The customer service was great. My steak was grilled perfectly and not overly seasoned. My sides complimented my steak. Definitely Traditional Colombian steakhouse.

    Marinara Combination
    Lou B.

    I come here every chance I get! The arepas are so wonderful, but my absolutely favorite thing on the menu is the burger where they use large plantains instead of buns--it's a mess, but a delicious mess. Pictured is the Marinara Combination, which was so fresh and is perfect for sharing (or not). Even the menu is an experience and feels like an elaborate picture book. It's definitely worth the splurge!

    Fried plantains and guacamole.
    Shelby H.

    My husband and I live nearby and have been wanting to try this place. Overall, everything was great! I got the Bandeja Paisa and my husband got the combination. We got the fried plantains and guacamole for appetizer. Everything was fast and their chimichurri sauce is amazing!

    Rib Eye

    Excellent! Did not expect to find a superb steakhouse in a strip mall. This is an absolute must-try. They are a little different if you are unfamiliar with South American steakhouses. They have skirt steak and short ribs on the menu, which are not generally found at an American steakhouse. Some of the cuts are similar to those in America, but are served and prepared differently. The service is top notch, which is expected in a high end steakhouse. I would absolutely positively go again. Try the beans.

    Columbian Empanadas
    Mike S.

    Finally made it to Salento and let me tell you this trip was 5 years in the making. We came in with friends as a party of 4 on a Saturday night (yes of course we planned ahead and made a reservation) . No issue getting our table and once seated y'all know it's app time. We went with the Columbian Empanadas since I haven't had any in a while and they were great. I also had their Colombian house beer, Bud Light never had a chance. So after looking over the menu with a party of 4 we decided that the Salento House was the best move since it was all our first time. Let me tell you... This is the first timer move. You get a taste of everything, steak, pork ribs, chicken, Colombian Sausage. Salento Sausage, blood sausage, pork rind and grilled pineapple and comes with four (4) sides all for only $96. All the sides and meat were very god and this is prefect for a 4 person party. The only reason I can't do 5 stars is because the Carne Asada which we asked for medium rare was medium well but mostly well done. I know it's a thinner steak but still. I know I will be back because we had a great time and great Colombian beers. Next time I'm getting a Ribeye and I can't wait.

I'm from Miami where good Latin food is basically on every corner fighting for your attention so my expectations were HIGH. I decided to gamble on DoorDash and stumbled across this Colombian spot. Dear Jesus what have I been missing? First, I ordered the tostones with chicharrón and let me tell you those pork pieces were crunching louder than my knees getting out of bed in the morning. Absolutely amazing. Then came the breakfast plate with rice and beans, scrambled eggs, and steak. That steak was so good I almost stood up in my hotel room and started singing romantic Spanish ballads to the container. At this point, I'm not even ashamed to admit I'm probably ordering from this same place again tomorrow and maybe the next day too while I'm here working. The delivery driver is about to know me by first name. 100% recommended. Whoever is cooking back there deserves a raise and possibly a vacation.

The guac with chicharrones and tostones was my favorite out of everything, crispy chicharron, crispy tostones and a very creamy guac that was to die for! They also gave us some house sauces that i loved. Ambiance was also making me feel like i was actually in Colombia! The delicias plate was a smaller portion of the bandeja paisa and it was perfect without being too much. Loved it!

I got the pabellon arepa and taqueños to go and there was a very short wait (they make the arepas fresh!), but it was so good. I also enjoyed house made mango juice which was very refreshing on a hot summer day. Parking is a bit tight, but there's more parking within walking distance. All in all, a very authentic, local spot.

The server was really friendly and recommended some great options for us. We ordered the following: 1) THE QUEEN - classic Venezuelan "chicken salad" with their home-made avocado mayo, cilantro and sliced avocados (also known as the Reina Pepiada). Fresh with a great balance of umami flavors! The cilantro green sauce was an amazing add-on with a little spicy kick! 2) PORKO LOCO - slow cooked pork marinated in red wine with queso blanco. Tender, moist, and very flavorful. Amazing! 3) CACHAPA - soft crispy pancake made with sweet corn and fried cheese in the middle. Flavor bomb of sweet and savory! 4) EMPANADA (BEEF) - tender, shredded beef with great flavor of savory. The dipping sauce was white, tangy, vinegary, creamy with a slight spiciness. Delicious! 5) SOURSOP JUICE - rare to find restaurants with this drink. Ate the actual fruits in my homeland in SE Asia. The juice was milky/creamy, sweet with an earthy taste. Great health benefits eating or drinking soursop -- antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, etc. Other notable item was the Passion Fruit Juice however, I did not try it. My bestie really liked it. Overall, wonderful experience at the restaurant of the food, service and great interior feeling creating a great ambiance. Definitely will visit again and try out more menu items.
