Brisas Del Valle Restaurant

Very good authentic Colombian food. They have daily lunch specials, today was Sopa de Lentejas O Sopa de Pollo (Lentil or Chicken soup). They also have all the typical Colombian meat, chicken, and seafood dishes. The Cazula de Mariscos (Seafood Stew), and Bandeja Paisa (Steak,red beans, eice, plantains, pork, corn cake, egg and sausage), are my favorites. And yes you get a lot of food for the money. Great place for lunch.

Great authentic Colombian food. Their daily special usually runs a about $8 and the portions are large enough for three meals (at least for meal). I would recommend their sancocho (any kind is good) or ajiaco soup. They are both hearty, full of flavor and come with rice, meat and salad.

Stopped in this place once, thinking it offered Brazilian fare. The menu listings were more Colombian/Central American featuring bandeja de la Paisa & sancocha. The server could not really describe dishes well in advance. Service was limp, long wait for food despite few other customers. Dishes were edible but not memorable, but at least not expensive. Not surprisingly we have not tried again. Would not recommend when there are so many other excellent options very near by.......better off to drop into Valentine's bar where you can get strong pours during their 2 for 1 happy hour starting at 3pm and running til about 9 when the regular gay customers start showing up. Straights are especially welcomed in the afternoon when the place is dead. Take a gander at photos of the drag queens that entertain long after my bed time. [See separate review]

Lunch time, the place is completely empty and it takes almost 30 minutes to get a chicken sandwich to go. And they got my order wrong.
