El Cafetal

First of all, this place is amazing. I've had the pleasure of eating here 4 times now as it is over an hour from my house, but each time it's as good and better than the last. The service is always stellar despite a small language barrier, the people always talk to you and are even considerate of my small Spanish speaking ability. And the restaurant has a truly Colombian feel, small and intimate very similar to the restaurants I frequent in Barranquilla and Santa Marta. Truly thankful I found this place and look forward to eating here again very soon.

I had been wanting to try this place for some time and finally had a chance to stop in on a Saturday mid morning. The workers were very friendly and the service was quick. There was a steady flow of business coming in and out as well. I opted to order the Bandeja Paisa since it seemed like a good way to sample items. Everything was delicious and there was enough to take home for a second meal! It came with a spicy green salsa on the side as well.

Found this place on Yelp when my daughter and I wanted to eat somewhere latin we haven't gone before. The place is small and quaint, the service was attentive (without being on top of us, which I appreciate), and the food reminded me of home. The only knock was that only one server was taking care of all the tables and that meant it took a little bit to get our food, but towards the end the second server arrived and it seemed to be flowing well.For those looking for good latin food at a reasonable price, give this place a try.

God said we should eat Colombian today! Starting with Pan de Bono and Empanadas. We love eating here.

I was really skeptical about this place but it turned out to be better than expected. Food and drinks were delicious and staff is friendly and welcoming. I would really recommend this place to try out if you haven't.

My daughter and I went for lunch, the food was very tasty. The restaurant is clean and neat. They do have room for improvement when it comes to service. The restaurant was busy and I only saw 2 waitresses. Our server seemed to be in a rush up until we got out food. And then the checkout took forever. I will give them a second chance as I liked the food.

This was our first visit. We were the only table in the whole place. They did have a handful of take out orders. The food is average. Chicken and rice needs more flavor. The plantains had no flavor. Given the price to eat out now the expectation is great flavor and service. We may wait and try one more time but not thrilled so far.

Do not waste your time going to this place, they advertise their hours of operation and you walk in 40 minutes earlier and they say they are closed BUT the doors sign is lite opened and the hours are published in the door. Terrible people that will not earn business with this approach.

Because of its superb reviews, my wife and I had very high expectations on the Friday evening of our first visit. Let me state up front, that our expectations were easily met.First and foremost, the service was warm and friendly. It was obvious that you as the customers, are greatly appreciated. The dining area was comfortable, clean and, by 7:30, packed. About half of the diners were hispanic, which says a lot in itself. We appreciated their 95 sanitary score and everything looked immaculate from the entrance to the rest rooms.We started with chicken soup. It was savory. As cilantro lovers, we appreciated the fact that it was amply supplied. Normally we have to ask for extra.The empanadas were fabulous. We tried both the chicken and the beef. Normally, I prefer chicken but their shredded beef was outstanding. The outer crust was a little different than what I am used to in that it was corned based instead of flour. Not sure which is more authentic but I loved their version.My Carne Asada was thinly sliced, perfectly grilled and off-the-charts delicious. I will order again! Serving sizes of all entrees are huge.My Cuban wife rated her Arroz con Pollo 7.5 stars as she has been spoiled by her mother's traditional recipe. Their's somewhat resembles fried rice but my uneducated, American taste buds enjoyed it. All of the sides - plantains, rice, beans, salad and dressing - were very good. One small negative overall however is that nothing was piping hot as we prefer it. That will not prevent us from returning soon, however, it does prevent me from giving it 5 stars. Although not quite a Gotta Try, it is close. I highly recommend it!

PÉSIMO, todos sus empleados son unos groseros no saben ni decir gracias o de nada. Que horror de restaurante deberían contratar a personas amables y más humildes, no esas señoras mal levantadas.
