De Leon Cocina

Small restaurant with big flavors. Started with a delicious mango juice (huge glass for $4.50) and a Mexican coke. Shared the special of the day which included home-made chicken and vegetable soup, pork ribs with a tasty sauce, green plaintains, a small green salad and rice. We added a side of black beans which was perfect with the plain rice. It was plenty for 2 for lunch.Very friendly service. This place doesn't have a big sign and it's in an unassuming hotel, but you should go there!

I was pretty done with downtown st Augustine so i appreciate the location. Just outside the madness. We ended up getting a bunch of apps for take out. When I told my group the price we thought this must be a great deal or I didn't order enough food. Empanadas were good. It was a little odd how similar the beef and chicken were. But very tasty and good texture. The arepas were ok. Fillings weren't very interesting and the outside was a little too tough. I've definitely had better. Coconut shrimp with tamarind sauce was tasty but very small portion. Overall decent food in an easy to access location. I'd return for a proper meal

Highly recommend. Nice little place located inside of the Ponce Hotel. Authentic Columbian food served with a smile by friendly professional staff. We loved Gregorio, he was awesome. Visited twice cause it was so good. Big portions, very very reasonably priced!

Let me talk about tostones. My hubby is Boricua and his as insanely perfect because they are thin and crispy. On a chance I asked to r server if I could have them extra smashed and crispy. She said she would ask the chef and WOW! My hubby has eaten here before and loves their empanadas. The Colombian style are my not fav but they were delicious. The salsa they serve with it is 1000000% divine. We got two deserts to go and I am sorry I did not take the photos! But the pane cotta with passion fruit was HEAVEN! The server was super sweet and very very accommodating. We will be back for sure!

Unassuming little gem inside a motel. Very small so might be a wait, but it was worth it! Service was great, food was even better! Cuban food at its best. Full bar.

Food: very good Colombian food. Prices are good. Portions, flavor, and presentation is good. Service: It was okay. Waiter seemed rush and a little impatient but he was still nice. Ambiance: it's inside a hotel. There was extra seating on the right side when you enter the hotel. Tables and chairs look older and worn down. Old curtains over windows and we were sat next to a bulky wet floor cleaner, and a table with a microwave on top. The other side of the restaurant that I think has a bar looked nice. Wish we were seated over there. This was back in November. Maybe they updated the area. Will come back to visit.

This place is very nice and comfortable, although it is small, it feels very good there. This restaurant is located inside a hotel. The employees are very friendly and attentive. They were well aware of us. The food was super delicious, it has a lot of flavor, they serve quite a lot of food and the prices are acceptable.
