Adults and kids !!
My friend's tempting food photos finally lured me to this newly built restaurant, and I'm so glad I came! I brought my wife and a friend, and we were all impressed. The interior is lovely, and our server Andre provided excellent service. My Bandeja Paisa with ground beef was incredibly flavorful, and my wife raved about her seafood soup. Our friend equally enjoyed her Hawaiian chicken dish. We finished with delightful desserts, each one a treat. Well done to this fantastic spot - we'll definitely return!
Visited this restaurant on a Wednesday night with my bf. I was kinda skeptical because some yelpers said it was a language barrier which is my most pet peeve when ordering at these restaurants. However that was not the case . Our servers spoke and understood English and they were very attentive . We ordered the fried whole red snapper with white rice salad, plantains, and yuca .. The fish was delicious and well seasoned. We also ordered the red sangria which was good and strong ! The prices are reasonable and not too pricey . The ambiance of the restaurant was a little loud with the music playing but the decor was nice and the restaurant is huge with plenty of dining space. There is a valet parking lot that only charges for tips .
Delicious food!! It tastes like home like my beloved Colombia. Service was amazing and fast and the ladys very nice and welcoming drink are huge lol with 2 I was happy! Very recommended the guacamole with chicharrón wow delicious.
Approximately 15 of us came here for lunch. The restaurant is spacious and has their own parking lot. The service was excellent, as the staff were friendly and patience. The meat platters that is supposed to serve 9-11 people were presented nicely and definitely was a lot of food. The meats were good but some were quite rough. The highlight was definitely the beef ribs. The individual platters came with two sides so everyone left extremely full. Overall, it was a fun experience and definitely would recommend.
Love their new location! Rancho Mateo opened here about a year into this much bigger location. Two stories, bar, DJ, bakery and still the same great food! I visit Elizabeth once a year with a group and we always visit to share one of their large platters. Worth it every time.
The new place is amazing.. it has alot of graffiti art-- inside it looks like a discoteca- they really made it beautiful. The food is alway delicious-- from the pandebonos, empanadas to the meals-- my favorite is the chuleta or lechuga empanizada -- they also have chunchulo
