Ritchie's Colombian Restaurant

The food is fantastic! I got the Bandeja Paisa and Papa rellena,

The staff (possibly the owner) was very friendly. I saw the pandebono while waiting for my takeout, and wanted one. It is only $1.5 but they only take cards for $5 above, so he said I could just pay it next time! The Bandeja Paisa had a lot on the plate for the price, and I enjoyed the fried pork skin! Pandebono was also tasty. Highly recommend the fried trout. It is crispy inside out. The milkshake compliments the food well.

The food is not bad; however, what really hurts the place is the person who serves customers. The customer service is very poor , they make unfriendly faces, wouldn’t allow us to use two tables for no clear reason even though the place was completely empty, and seem bothered when spoken to. The empanada we were served was completely frozen inside, and the bandeja paisa does not look like the photo they show on social media. Unfortunately, good places often lose business because of people like this, those who don’t care about customers and are just working for the sake of working. It’s obvious they don’t enjoy what they do. Perhaps if they changed the person attending customers, the place would improve a lot.

Walked in having never tried Colombian food and was greeted by a friendly guy (could be the owner) at the counter. I asked what to get and he recommended the Bandeja Paisa. You get a nearly overwhelming amount of delicious food for $24, easily at the top of my list for quality value food in the area. Followed it up with a solid coffee flan.

We really had high expectations for this place, we got there and there was a long wait since the restaurant is very small, that’s ok. The place smelled nice so everything seemed promising, however when we got our food which took a super long time, everything really lacked flavor, the chicharrón was tasteless, ropa vieja lacked salt and the ají tasted like nothing. The natural drinks were average and the buñuelos were just ok. The service was super slow, it seems like they don’t have it together in that place. Still, no great Colombian places around the area.
