I went by myself and had a wonderful time. The food and drinks were delicious and the energy was fun and pleasant. Will be happy to visit again :)

I purchased 2 frozen margarita's to go one lemon and one maracuya. I was charged 52 dollars for 2 margaritas and when I asked and look at the menu says other price. So be careful when you give your card and double check your bill. As a customer they loss me. I been to noches de Colombia basurero and other Colombian places better drinks and prices.

Food was great. Atmosphere was nice. Service was mediocre. Waiter didnt understand a lot of things even when telling him in Spanish, such as didnt even know what Vanilla is. I asked for bbq sauce and hot sauce, was never given to me. I ordered a coke and he never brought it to me, I had to ask one of his colleagues again after I was almost done with dinner cause he clearly forgot. Then hes no where to be seen/found when needed. Didnt come to check on our table if we need anything or if everything is ok. When we walked in, the place looked so nice and Atmosphere was just a different vibe. The food was very good. Delicious. I was just disappointed in the service. Idk if its cauee it near closing time, but that ruined my experience. For the food taste and Atmosphere I was going to tip a good amount. But as I started observing the waiters behavior, I was so disappointed i couldnt bring myself to tip for mediocre service.

Had a great experience here. Even with a fully packed restaurant we were able to be seated within minutes. Staff is very on point with service. Menu has plenty of options for dishes with pork, chicken, seafood etc. The music was very good and all the food was so fresh. Portion sizes are great even for the appetizers. Definitely would recommend their tacos and garlic shrimp.

The experience at this restaurant in New Rochelle was amazing. The service was friendly, professional, and prompt. The atmosphere was vibrant with live music and people dancing in their seats as well as in between the tables. The lighting was colorful and cozy. The prices are not over priced and economically suitable. The food was amazing, brought me back to my childhood hood dinner memories with my family. I will visit Colombia house restaurant in New Rochelle again. We had a great time. Thank you to the staff. Ask for Karen she was amazing.

I recently visited this restaurant and overall had a good experience. The meal was enjoyable though the steak was a bit on the chewy side. The real standout was the tres leches cake, which was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The rice and beans were also well done and complemented the meal nicely.<br><br>The only downside for me was the live music. While the performer did a great job engaging the crowd, it was a little too much for my taste Still, the food quality made the visit worthwhile I will be back.
So we were invited to this place by some family members that were in town for the weekend, the place was packed, I mean wall to wall packed. I’m assuming that this is the reason that the food was so bland. The tostones tasted like they were fried up an hour ago and microwaved right before they hit our table. The churrasco is my go to whenever I visit a Latin restaurant, the presentation was spot on, but the steak itself tasted like they removed it from the cow and threw it right on the grill. No flavor, no seasoning, no memorable wow factor. My brother in law ordered some sort of a fish for dinner and left about 60% of it on the plate. When the waiter came and asked him if he wanted to take the remaining portion home he immediately replied, no thank you . The service was five stars, as was the atmosphere the music and the vibe perfect, but unfortunately, the food did not match. I’m a guy who eats everywhere and I do mean everywhere, add to that that I grew up eating this food, this place left me very disappointed.
I visited Columbia House in New Rochelle with my family today and we had a really nice experience. I ordered the camarones with mixed vegetables and yellow rice — the flavor was good, and the veggies were cooked perfectly (not too soft, not too firm). My BFF ordered the shrimp in garlic sauce with tostones and really enjoyed her dish. I also tried their piña colada, which was surprisingly good.<br><br>We waited about 20 minutes for a table, and once seated, our waiter was friendly and attentive. The manager came by to check on us, which I always appreciate. They also had a live band playing (I believe that’s a Friday thing), and it added a fun, relaxed vibe to the night.<br><br>Just a quick note on pricing: Google asks you to estimate cost per person, but our total included two appetizers, three entrées, and drinks, so keep that in mind. Street parking can be tricky, but there’s a public lot about a 5-minute walk away if you’re driving.<br><br>Overall, a solid spot for good food, good service, and a nice atmosphere.
The food was wonderful the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was great also, which made an incredible dining experience. I had the pleasure of trying different things and loved 🥰 everything I ordered. I ordered the steak and shrimp salad. I also yellow rice and plain wings and some cheese bread and also tried their passionfruit sangria. The whole culinary experience was wonderful . The people were so very very very nice. Extremely welcoming and comforting setting. Everything was cooked with perfection. You can see that the food is cooked with love. 💕 I will definitely be back. Happy eating everyone I also ordered the pork chops on a different day which was also amazing
Very popular spot, we've always wanted to check it out, and finally did this Friday since we were nearby.<br>To our surprise, a table was available even though the place was quite packed. The menu is extensive, and everything we tried was tasty. There was live music, which added a nice vibe to the atmosphere, though it did make conversation a bit difficult at times. Overall, a good experience!
