La Bendición

I love it here. I came with my daughter and no one was there. I ordered the cheese balls "arepas con queso" chicharron , mojarra frita, steak cabello. Best Colombian food I've had in a long time

The frijoles were amazing I wish I could have the recipe to make at home hopefully they drop the recipe cuz its just too good

What a fun experience! This new Colombian restaurant has it all... Ambience, flavor, and culture. The aroma as you walk in surrounds you with delicious smoked meats, and smells of home- cooked Colombian meals. We loved every bite, and will definitely be back for more. Thank you to the hosts and great service.

I've eaten here 3 times and always order the paisa platter because it's my favorite Colombian dish and they do a great job here. The food is always fresh and well seasoned and the portions are big. I never finish my plate. There is a casual ambiance here and the service is always good. Would recommend without hesitation

Get the authentic tourist-in-Colombia experience here! Great food and then get overcharged for the pleasure. I asked for water and was given a bottle of San Pellegrino. Later, we were overcharged over 30% and not given an itemized receipt. The server uses the language barrier to rip you off to the fullest extent. This is a shame since I would have come back here again if I wasn't taken for a ride.

me and my wife love this place. the place was very clean and the waitress was very attentive when we walked in. we came in because we wanted to try happy hour at the former known restaurant lo que pueda because we never tried it but now that they changed the name to la bendición and the service we were much happier . we ordered the churrasco steak with platanos and a tropical salad and we also tried the lulo and the empanadas and arepas . everything was really good !!! we ordered two big plates two appetizers and a soup and walked out paying $75 with a included tip . they will give you a discount if you pay cash i think and they might charge a little extra if you order to go and dont dine in but overall this place is well worth the quality of food and the pricing was impressive , 5 star restaurant !!!! highly recommend eating here if your really hungry

AVOID AVOID AVOID! Food is terrible, they will cheat you and overcharge you, and the place is dirty.Like other reviewers, we've had a couple of experiences of being charged more than the price listed on the menu for food, as well as them wanting to charge more for paying by credit card with no disclosure of that on the menu, then wanting to charge more for food to go with no disclosure of a surcharge on the menu . And the latest is that they publish a daily lunch special on social media on the same day and when we get there it doesn't come with all the things listed. I had to demand all things several times. The waitress kept saying "oh that doesn't come with it". And when I showed her that days ad, she finally said "let me talk to the owner" and never addressed it or brought the items until I demanded several more times. Not a pleasant experience at all. To top it off, the food the last time we went was absolutely AWFUL. The rice was clearly reheated day old rice (this is so cheap to make!!) the meat was a tough, vein filled, tough cartilage everywhere half piece (completely inedible), the chicken was pink inside, and the dish was supposed to come with traditional sauce and it came dry as a bone, bare potatoes dry everything. Really horrible. Another dish was a steak that was also just disgusting. Took it home to the dog. Then we get the check with yet again another attempt to over charge because "the menu is not updated."These people cheat. They will overcharge you.Very sorry for all other Colombians who are honest and hardworking to be so misrepresented by this bad establishment. We spoke to the man owner at the end and told him about the problem with the misrepresented price on the menu, he said it was STILL outdated (we got the same story several months back). So take a pen and fix it! Or better yet, stop cheating people. And I told him about the social media ad of that day and he said "the publisher made a mistake". No apology, no discount; nothing. Terrible customer service.Not returning ever again and posting this to save you readers the trouble, and for public notice of our experience.There is no receipt given for payment.There are many other Colombian restaurants in the San Jose area who bring their delicious flavors of their country and not corrupt practices. Try those instead and skip this one.Shame on "La Bendición". It is not a blessing at all.

The waitress was very nice, the prices are not the same as on the menu, I ordered medium rare meat and it was overcooked, the hot dog had no pineapple

Food was okay, waitress was extremely nice, great service, and was very quick working on her own. The man at the front who I believe is the owner is what I am giving a one star rating. This man kept staring at my husband and I as we ate the entire time we were there which is extremely uncomfortable. The prices are much more expensive than where we usually go with less food. When I was ready to pay, they did not inform they would charge me more when using my card. We will not be returning. This place is a scam and the owner is overcharging without letting their customers know. Legally customers should be aware that they will be an extra charge to use cards which I can confidently say because I worked in customer service as well as book keeping. If you want to keep your customers, lower your prices or make the customers aware that they will be charged extra when using their card. I recommend visiting "Fonda Colombiana" they have cheaper prices for more food and better quality.
