Salento Colombian Steakhouse

This experience at Salento was great. We ordered the meat, more meat and more meat.They bring you a huge tray of meat with a little bit of potatoes mixed in. Everything tasted great and we had more than enough food to bring home.Our server was friendly, funny, the food came out quickly. The restaurant had bbq, steakhouse feel with a Spanish flair.

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 decided to go here for lunch on Sunday because I was craving meat. The service here is always good too. I to order for appetizers, which consists of small potatoes, smoked sausage, blood sausage, and pork chunks, and it's served with mildly spicy aioly sauce, and flavorful and fresh chimichurri sauce. For my main dish I decided to order a medium well steak, baked yellow seet plantain, baked cassava sticks, and mini cormral cake. That steak was flavorful and nicely grilled. If you love meat, then I highly recommend this restaurant. There are so many food menu items to choose from. I love the ambiance of this restaurant, because it's filled with various historical items from Colombia. I will return here again soon.

We had dinner at Salentos and it was amazing! We had guava and passion fruit juices with milk and they were super cold and refreshing! We ordered fried plantains and empanadas for our appetizers and they were delicious... for our main meal we ordered lamb and a bandeja paisa and all the food was hot, fresh and delicious! Our server was amazing super tentative and kept checking in us. The restaurant was super clean and the atmosphere was nice.

Last two times I've been in Jacksonville we've come to eat at this wonderful restaurant. The servers are very nice and friendly. I did have the same older Colombian lady each time. First time I ordered the ribeye and it is very good. It is seasoned differently. Definitely feels more like a steakhouse but there's a lot of Spanish speaking going on which gives it more authenticity. The side portions are kinda small so you may want to double on some. I like the yuca fritas and Maduros.

My dad wanted steak for his birthday and to our surprise there weren't many options. We ended up choosing this place and we were absolutely thrilled. For a Saturday at 5pm it was totally packed. First good sign. The hostess was friendly and showed us to our seats. Our waitress took our drink orders and I absolutely loved that the water came in glass with mint inside. I ordered a guava juice with milk and it was so good my son stole it from me. LolOur appetizer of green plantains was so good with the guacamole. The food was all cooked to perfection and had a great presentation. There was a lot to eat so we had left overs but it was so good and I loved the authentic Columbian vibe and spice. Our waitress (forgot her name-) was absolutely lovely and did a great job! Overall, we will absolutely be back!

Salento Colombian steakhouse offers an extensive array of meat dishes for ever, food was great ! Had the "bandeja paisa" the pork rind was amazing . Service courteous. Please be advised this is not your regular "steak house" some meat dishes are flavored to take your palate to flavor the uniqueness and grandiose flavors of Columbia . Restaurant's ambience is warm, dimmed lighting that sets the mood , dark wood and leather upholstery , tables and booths for a cozy intimate feel when spending time with friends .

Shoutout to my server Diana who n my most recent visit this past weekend! She is one of the great staff that continuously provides excellent customer service when dining at the restaurant.My favorite time to go is as soon as they open for the day to enjoy a great lunch. Dining area is spacious and very clean. Beverages and food are great tasting. Join their loyalty rewards program to earn points with every visit! Thinking of my next meal already for next time...

I forgot how yummy this place is!! Haven't been here in years because it's a bit of a drive from my house, but one I think I need to take more often. We ordered a little bit of everything - empanadas, chicharron, combo plate, it was all fresh, well seasoned and filling! The ribs were falling off the bone and even the white rice was flavorful. Loved all the sauces, but my favorite was the service. So attentive and friendly. I can't wait to go back.

The food is amazing and the service was excellent. Great place to go for a steak. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. I cannot recommend this establishment enough. I will go back and very soon. It is also very reasonably priced. Do not miss trying this Colombian Steakhouse.
