Oiga, Mire, Vea Colombian Cuisine

The food was really good and our server was sweet! The areas con queso were amazing and el sanchocho de pollo was on point! Had to do a shot of aquardiente!

The service here is amazing. That is worth the trip here alone. They always explain everything to me and are very patient. The prices are alittle expensive but I usually treat myself here once in awhile. I love the banuelos it is nothing like ive ever tasted. I am addicted! My new crack of choice. I also adore the empanadas. AMAZING I TELL YOU.

My Colombian fiancé and I wanted to see if this place would be authentic. We were not disappointed. From empanadas to arepas to papa rellena and buñuelo, we enjoyed everything. Our entrees were excellent too.

It is a super cute family-​owned restaurant. True home-​cooked Colombian food. The empanadas are amazing. They also have homemade hot chocolate. They are very welcoming. Only thing is they don’t serve cups of water– only bottled. Really tasty food though! And prices are great!

Oh wow! This place is the epitome of home. From he time we walked in until the time we left we were made feel comfortable and the service was superb. I felt like I was at nana’s house getting a home cooked meal. The food was amazing but I do have one callout about the beef skewers I ordered… they were a little tough chew and I couldn’t swallow it because the meat wouldn’t break down but everything else was simply amazing! I will definitely go back and order a different entrée.

I found this place a couple of years ago. I remember when the Bandeja Paisa was $ 9.99 and now it’s $ 16. I know the price of food goes up but the plate has stayed the same– except for the steak which gets smaller every time I go. I don’t usually come to this part of town. I live in Henderson and each time I’m here I have hope that it will be better –but it’s not. Today the steak was tiny again, barely fit in my palm and the beans were so bland! No sabor whatsoever which is disappointing. Pollo loco has better beans. The menu is small for entrees and they should offer the specials menu everyday.
I need to find a new place becuz I don’t plan on coming back. ONLY GOOD THING IS THE EMPANADAS AND THE COLOMBIANA sodas. They know they get busy but they don’t seem to be doing anything about it. Expand ur menu, get more staff so people don’t wait 30 minutes before u get their order and don’t be cheap with the food. The quality will make ur customers come back.

My family and I visit every time we’re in Vegas. Everything on the menu is delicious. Order a Bandeja Paisa to experience one of many traditional dishes. Add a buñuelo and empanada!

Este rinconcito en Vegas esta Súper. Los Sábados tienen baile, la comida está riquísima y el café igual. La ensalada de fruta tienen que probarla riquísima

My friends and I came here last night. When you walk in there is a small dining area with showcase of Columbian things on sale and there is another bigger dining area. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa which is the Colombian traditional plate– it has Grilled steak, fried pork rind, chorizo, red beans, a Colombian sausage, fried egg with rice and your choice of fried ripe or green plantain. It was $ 15.99 and was ok but the portion was big. The pork rind was too crispy and hard to eat. The order took a long time and there were only two other tables. The soda from Columbia was ok. The menu was too expensive for my taste.

Is the second time I dine here and I’m still happy with the outcome. The service is not the best but they try. The food reminds me of home and they served a generous portion. I have even bring co workers with me and they are always satisfied.

This is the ONLY authentic Colombian Restaurant in Las Vegas. I’ve been there several times with fam and friends. This place never seems to disappoint me at all. They have a small little section when you come in, where you can grab a quick bite to eat and jet. They also have a more of a spacious area where they normally have their «Rumba Nights» which is on Fri-​Sun, I believe. You can also sit and dine there if you wish. I also liked that they had a little market with authentic Colombian products. They are a little pricey but worth getting. I bought their Colombian Coffee grounds, which was neatly packaged. MEH! That coffee is delish! So, If you would like to experience how Colombians eat and rumba, don’t hesitate to visit them.

I like this place… The prices are reasonable. The food is good… Service is okay. We need more diverse restaurants in this city and this is a good way to try regional cuisine… I will definitely come back especially if the skin on the chicharon gets crispier… Found out you have to request the skin to be fried longer…

The food was good and the service was good. Nice clean place and the prices aren’t that bad

Service is excellent! Food is very fresh, appetizers are the best we weren’t impressed so much with the actual meal
Good place to grab a beer & appetizers

Went here 30 mins. before closing which was 8:30 on a Monday still received amazing service and amazingggg food! I had been craving Colombian food and I deff got my fix that night we ordered 8 empanadas, 4 sodas Colombians, 2 BANDEJA PAISAs, and pollo (forgot the name of the plate I’ll provide a pic). Everything was amazing! We also took a tamale to go. So yummmm!!! I absolutely loveeee this place and will be a faithful customer!!! It took me back to Colombia it was also my bf’s first time eating Colombian food and he loved it which means a lot to me. Thank you to everyone at this restaurant for an amazing meal and night! See you soon

My wife and I stopped in for lunch today and was wonderfully surprised. The small dining room was very busy and the main dining area was being used for a meeting of sorts. Anyway. we were promptly seated and drink orders were taken. The take out business was non-​stop while we were there. The server was fantastic with comments and suggestions on the various dishes.
My wife had the empanada’s (which came with a green sauce — not spicy) and I tried the arepa with beef, onions and red bell peppers. Very tasty. Never had Colombian food but we thoroughly enjoyed the food, the place and the service.
The meeting in the next room kept the servers busy so the kitchen staff was constantly playing catch-​up. But it was all good. The Colombian soft drinks were especially good. The also have a small selection of beer.
The small dining room (about 10 tables) was decorated with hats, shirts and food items from Colombia. I recommend this place for those looking for an adventure in dining. Note; give yourselves plenty of time between the hours of noon to about one as that’s when the daily meetings take place. We were there about two hours… time moves slower soth of the border.

I was looking around to go eat somewhere until my Wife spotted this place inside a shopping center, I’m from Ecuador so when I saw this place I was like YEY! My people I love South American food so I got my self a maduro Frito and arroz con pollo and my wife got a Cuban Sanduche really delicious, plus if you from the South you have to have a TROPICAL soda! Good stuff

I’ve come here a handful of times and between me and my family we’ve tried a lot from their menu. Their aji sauce is
. Usually salsas are too spicy for me but this one is just right and not your run of the mill tomato salsa. My staples are their empanadas and their papas rellenas. They also have a good fried plantain with a unique cheese on top that’s good I just don’t remem the name. The main waitress and possibly owner is very bubbly and friendly. All other staff seem to only speak Spanish so we’re usually always helped by the bubbly lady.
The down sides to the place: it can get hellllla hot in there, the main restaurant area is kinda dark and with the fans spinning it hits the lights and creates a strobe light effect… So u may get a headache from thatz Service is also slow, so if you’re looking to get in and out quickly, this is not the place. If you’re thinking «I’ll just call in the order and skip the wait» I thought the same thing. I ordered at about 1045am on a Sunday (today) and went in to pick it up a couple min passed 11. Food wasn’t ready. The bubbly lady asked me if I ordered empanadas and I said yes, and I believe that was when my order was given to the kitchen bc my food was ready about 10 min later
It’s a very popular place amongst Colombians so it gets really busy but when you get your food it is always fresh and piping hot.

Las mejores empanadas … tienen todo bien alla bien colombiano ay que dios bendiga a colombia

The food was great! full of authentic flavors, the portions were satisfying, the waitress was friendly but the setting is not pretty.
Considering the prices, not the most expensive but not cheap either, I spect to be seated in an air-​conditioned dining room and not in the middle of a convenience store, next to an open door with the Las Vegas heat engulfing the entire space making everyone uncomfortable.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed shopping for their goodies imported from Colombia after finishing my meal, but seating in the same area is just not comfortable.

At first we didn’t see the big doors leading to the real dining room. Just the 5 little tables and a lot of «stuff,» making it look like more of a convenience store than a restaurant. On a weekday night, on the late-​ish side, the only signs of life were the owner eating soup at one of the tables, and a young waitress newly arrived from Colombia, hesitantly speaking English. No prob for me, since I speak Spanish.
I was a little dismayed to think that this «atmosphere,» or lack thereof, would be the stage for our first venture at this restaurant, but then I heard noise and noticed those doors. The waitress explained that there was a meeting taking place in there, and so it was off-​limits.
The owner came over and gave us a thorough explanation of the menu, making suggestions, too. We took most of them: a couple of empanadas and an arepa de choclo to start (choclo is the word for corn in So. America), a meal-​in-​a-​bowl soup and an Arroz con Pollo entrée to share. Right after we ordered, the small ragtag group — some biker types, some jocks — holding the meeting in the dining room adjourned, and we were able to move into the very big and much more pleasant room. I wondered what was so secret about that meeting that it had to be kept private??? They couldn’t have taken up more than a table or two.
The empanadas were astoundingly good. The arepa was a little too sweet for my taste; I don’t know whether the corn was just naturally sweet or whether sugar is added to the dough. It was topped with a mass of mozzarella cheese that was probably heated a bit too long — each bite was squeaking when I chewed it.
The soup was simply fantastic, a large bowl of tasty chicken broth that was not overly salty. We chose the one that had shredded chicken, since we’re too damned lazy to deal with chicken on the bone. This one also came with potatoes instead of rice, which was perfect, since we were having Arroz con Pollo. And therein lies the problem: that dish was ghastly. Both the chicken and the rice were completely dried out. I threw some of the parsley condiment over it to moisten it, but it didn’t really help. Normally we’re not shy about complaining or returning a dish that isn’t up to snuff, but this time I was too full from the soup and appetizers to start in with the wait for another dish. So when the waitress passed by and asked about our food, I told her about the dried-​out dish. She asked if we wanted to change it for something else, and we declined the offer.
But here’s the kicker, and the one thing that has really soured me about this place: I was already outside when my husband went to the register to pay the bill, and he mentioned to the owner about the dried-​out rice and chicken. The response: «Well, rice dishes are always dry.» Really? Tell that to Mr. Risotto. And that was the sum total of the answer. No apology, and no acknowledgement that maybe that pot of chicken and rice had been reheated a few times too many.
Any restaurant can have problems with any dish. I’ve gone back over and over to restaurants at which we had problems, mainly because the owners were genuinely concerned about the quality of the food and desire for the customer to have a positive dining experience. On the other hand, why should I return to a place where the reaction to a critique is a shrug, even if there are enough good things on the menu to warrant a second visit? Karma kounts, in my book.

Hearty is one word to describe the smörgåsbord of grindage we had. Not only was the food very tasty, The owners and service staff were so nice and happy to see that non-​Columbians were enjoying their cuisine.
We were served family style and we enjoyed the following:
Empanadas with Chimichurri-​Crisp, Flavorful, and a great start to our Columbian feast.
Chicken Skewers with Rice, Beans and Sweet Plantains-​Love the combination of sweet and salty, so the beans and plantains complimented the juicy chicken and addicting arroz!
The Picada is seriously a Carniwhore’s heaven! a plate filled with veggies, Tostones (fried green plantains) Beef, Chicharrones, an interesting vinegary tasting Columbian style sausage, and a blood sausage which had a similar taste to Filipino Dinuguan with rice and stuffed in a sausage casing.
I personally prefer the Colombian Style Arepa to the more familiar Venezuelan arepa that Viva Las Arepas serves. OMV serves it in a griddled corn cake (your choice of yellow or white corn topped with a generous piece of queso fresco. this again is a nice combo of salty and sweet. YUM!
After a some Pastel de Guayaba, we enjoyed Tres Leches and enjoyed the club like atmosphere at the same time as our dinner which made it kinda difficult to communicate with others in our party, but nonetheless fun and festive. Salsa dancing and the Karaōke stylings of Henry Churches with his rendition of «Bailamos» and «Hero»
had the crowd hootin’ and hollerin’!(If you’re still having a brain fart on who Henry Churches is… en espanol= Enrique Iglesias). Big mahalo to Christie, and we’ll most definitely be back… ALOHA!!!
