Behrad EatsJuly 27, 2017Order the Empanada Sampler and choose Chicken, Steak, Vegetable (spinach, mushroom, red & green pepper, onion, tomato, aji pique scallion cilantro sauce), and Domino (black bean & queso feta, crema).
- Behrad EatsJuly 27, 2017The Colombian staple, Bandeja Paisa, is a must here: grilled skirt steak, pork chicharron, white arepa, rice & beans, fried egg, maduros, avocado, & cabbage salad.
- Behrad EatsJuly 27, 2017Ginger Tamarind Chicken Wings offer a unique combination of sour and spicy which is absolutely delicious.
Ms HeleneSeptember 10, 2017Shrimp ceviche $15, side of sautéed kale $7 and arepa sweet corn + fried egg $6.50. Sangria $10. Busy but at seating unreserved
Daniel SalinasSeptember 6, 2015The Sangrita, half frozen margarita, half sangria (white OR red) is excellent. Less sweet than your typical frozen drink but still just as refreshing!
CarolMarch 4, 2020Good Colombian food. I tried the corn, empanadas, and arepas with Colombian chorizo. The chorizo was too dry. The vibes are nice. Servings are big and probably better to order and share
Emmanuel GalvanFebruary 24, 2016Amazing !!! It's so good !! I really needed some real Latin food, rice, beans, chicken, avocado, platanos ! The plates are HUGE ! You'll be so full. Totally worth your money.
Michelle WendyJanuary 12, 2013Awesome veg option- sweet potato black bean quinoa cake!! They were flavorful, hearty, smoky, sweet & spicy yet well balanced. Tostones & gallo pinto perfectly rounded out the dish. Huuuge portion.
ShahNovember 2, 2014Great vegetarian, vegan, wheat-free and gluten-free options. Best arroz con pollo I've ever had, and the banana bread pudding was a great way to end the night. Gets busy, make a reservation!
CallyOctober 8, 2017I flippin' love this place! Adorable aesthetic and amazing food. They mark vegan options, but also cool about substitutions. Highly recommend the black bean patacones with guac and hogan sauce.
Yoni ZloczewskiFebruary 15, 2016The staff is friendly, the food is consistent, the prices are more than fair - this place is a neighborhood gem. Solid maduros, empandas arroz con pollo. Chicken tortilla soup it's a crowd pleaser.
AlexApril 29, 2016the margaritas are incredible, especially the hibiscus and smoke chipotle pineapple. get the ginger tamarind wings. they are to die for.
Pratheeksha KSAugust 26, 2016Tres Leches cake. Sangrita. Arepas with cheese and tomato scallion toppings. Everything we ordered was good and the service was fantastic. Definitely will take people here again.
Brad KleinOctober 17, 2021Domino empanada was tasty. Shrimp and steak tacos were delicious. Coconut marg drink was good, as was spicy chipotle marg
Fun local dinner spot. The food has great flavor & love the sauces. Try the jerk chicken special or lamb chops. Also, quinoa cakes, coconut shrimp and empanadas. Tons of drink options...guava 'ritas!
Mojitos, Sangritas, Sangrias, Margaritas, Pina Coladas and what more could you want? Brooklyn's best latin american restaurant offers the foods and drinks of Colombia and South AMERICA.
Emily WDecember 26, 2017Great gf and vegetarian options-- a perfect place for groups with multiple dietary needs! staff is super friendly, food is delicious. great vibe.
Mindy ZhangMarch 28, 2014Good atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food and affordable pricing. Plantain chips were yummy. Arroz con pollo was very fulfilling. Pernil was awesome. Check in for free shots.
Ajo de la ChipotleSeptember 9, 2018Def try the empanada sampler - esp. if w a group. The guava is tooo slept on! Arepa Benedict was also solid ✊🏿
Christina ChinAugust 1, 2015Cute place with decent happy hour until 7. Got yummy pina colada. Empanadas are great, get the goat cheese one
Alison GreshamSeptember 22, 2014Loved the Plantain Crusted Chicken with Mango BBQ sauce, steamed yucca and rice & beans! Add the Cholula Hot Sauce for the perfect spicy flavor topping.
Michaela FloryanziaSeptember 24, 2011Ran into this place by accident last year. Now I frequent it on the regular. I suggest making reservations if you go on a friday or saturday night! Great staff, excellent food and AWESOME drinks!
virgin pina colada is my proverbial non alcoholic jam. favs include goat cheese or guava empanadas, elote (grilled corn), and maduros.
Lindon ChenDecember 19, 2015cute colorful deco with pretty solid empanadas arepas and Colombian dishes. great portions. the arroz con pollo was awesome.
SierraMay 20, 2014Super friendly and attentive staff and delicious Columbian food! Great vegan and vegetarian options too (and gluten free).
Jayson LSeptember 1, 2012The impanatas are really good here and the foursquare complimentary piña colada is actually good ☺. Last bandeja paisa is really good.
Louis BruscoFebruary 16, 2012Bogota serves up generous plates of arroz con pollo, orders of arepas and empanadas, and other Colombian classics to a young, convivial crowd, fueled by house sangria.
Amanda SJune 1, 2014Food was excellent, and a very good value! Fun, festive atmosphere. Huge portions and table 73 is very nice for 2.
Fantastic food and drinks. Make a reservation ... It's always very crowded.
Jaysyn LongoriaSeptember 7, 2013Try the plantain chips with the black bean dip, absolutely amazing. Jerk chicken was beyond perfect. Will be hitting this spot again!!
Angela WenSeptember 13, 2015Iced mint mojito coffee is amazing. Tastes just like Philz. All the food is delicious! 😋
Sylvana GJune 23, 2016Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options! Have never been disappointed with their quality and service. Fantastic mojitos too 😊
- Ciaran GroarkeMarch 7, 2014Fantastic red snapper ceviche, cilantro mashed potatoes, sauté kale, fish tacos and skirt steak. Great staff!
William JohnsonJuly 30, 2016Ropa vieja and empanadas are incredible. I say that but everything else on the menu is amazing too!
LukeAugust 23, 2016Fun spot with big, flavorful portions of tried and true favorites. They do chicken right
Laura KathJuly 8, 2018I wouldn't recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Colombian food. This is more of the americanized version of it. Portions are also smaller than I thought. Do order the big refajo!!
SabrinaJune 20, 2015Empanadas make a great cheap snack. Let the bartender help you concoct a smokey fruity marg on the rocks.
Brian AlvarezJanuary 19, 2017The pernil is out of this world, and they know how to make an awesome michelada.- Make it a point of introducing yourself to Luis, the host and assistant manager. He's pretty awesome. Take a pic with him and post it for extra points.
Jalapeño tequila can be used for any type of fruit..try strawberry..food is amazing..the empanada sampler is a must..- Very LGBT friendly (happens to be owned by a gay couple). Love this place.
Michaela Floryanzia-DavisJune 2, 2018The sangrita is so delicious and I had the arepa Benedict for brunch. Awesome!
Sandy Rizzotto DiPiazzaSeptember 29, 2013Try the stuffed plantain with chicken omg to die for also try the columbian ribs with mango bbq sauce!!!
