Palenque best Colombian food

Amazing delicious food with authentic Colombian flavor. The place: Really retro and quaint with a tranquil ambiance. Well decorated and charming. It never got noisy or crowded. Service: Staff are pleasant well mannered and attentive. Angela the owner came over to accommodate our meal and Mae sure we were finding everything nice. Food: generous portions and delicious. Try the spicy chicken ( which is delicious and not spicy) and their guanábana juice with milk. I definitely recommend this place.

This place is a hidden gem. Literally took us back to Cali. The decor is beautiful, very lively and colorful. The food was delicious, we had the ceviche de chicharrón, the arepa burger and the limonada de coco. Everything was so tatsy. The portions are perfect. And the service was great. So excited to find a piece of home in NY

This place has been able to be get a full immersion cultural experience. I got there for the food and I was greatly impressed. Affordable, well presented and with the right amount of service for being welcomed and not overwhelmed. There’re more content in the place to make it even more inviting. I won’t tide you with descriptions; but the “La linterna” posters are a full Art show on them selves and there’s a wall of art for sale of emerging artist and a roll up screen for film screenings. My photos are not the best; but it’s what I got to show a friend a pandebono waffle and their logo. I can’t wait to go back!

This is a tough one to write because, as Colombians, we always want to support our own and see our culture represented well. However, I have to be honest: my recent visit was a major disappointment. The Food: Where was the "Sazón" I came in craving a caldo de costilla, a dish that is supposed to be the ultimate comfort food—the kind that warms your soul. What I received was essentially flavorless water. There was no trace of garlic, no onion, and absolutely no "love" or depth to the broth. It felt like they just boiled a piece of meat and called it a day. To make matters worse, the white rice served with it was clearly not fresh. In a Colombian kitchen, rice is sacred; serving old rice is a huge "no-no." The service from our waitress was completely lacking in hospitality. There was no w

We shared the mini arepas and spicy braised chicken thighs for dinner and both were pretty good. I prefer arepas a little thicker so they are more moist but the hogao, beans, and cheese was nice on top. We also had a couple of drinks (mojito & margarita) that were tasty. Overall had a decent meal here!
