Casa Mamá Luz

The food was excellent especially the ajiaco., with added salt and pepper as I felt it was missing seasoning. I also recommend their mango juice, ask for no sugar to make it very refreshing. This place gets very crowded and although we had reserved in advance, they’re somewhat disorganized as our reservation was not found and we had to wait 20 minutes for a table.

Really good and delicious place with traditional and typical food from Colombia . This place include sea food, pork, chicken, beef and vegetarian.

We came to this restaurant thanks to a tip from our tour guide! The ajiaco and mote de queso are to die for! Strongly recommend also the coconut lemonade! Service was friendly and fast! Don’t miss this stop in Bogota

Encountering a long line outside the door, I thought “forget this place, I’m hungry”. The host assured me it would not be a long wait. Indeed the host was correct and within 7 minutes we were comfortably seated. Our order was quickly taken and the Ajiaco arrived shortly afterwards. It was delicious. Drink service was somewhat slower. With all the bustle the restaurant maintained a pleasant atmosphere.

A must-visit restaurant. Highly recommended. Food was divine mmmmmmm 🤤🤤

Obsessed with this place. I went during a long weekend and I was lucky it was empty so got seated right away. The ajiaco was to die for and service was quick and efficient. If you’re looking for delicious and authentic Ajiaco or food this is the place to go. I was drooling looking at all of the food they were giving to other tables too. 10/10

We stopped for lunch at this very nice restaurant. We ate excellent ajiaco and acatas. Good service and a warm welcome too.

We went in for lunch, we were sat in a hallway , we sat across from each other to not block the walkway, was awkward arrangement , no windows, just waiters passing by frequently to a back dinning room thru the hallway we were seated in . We ordered two drinks that were very good with passion fruit purée and pineapple , they were good. We ordered the chicharrón with yuca and it arrived quickly but it was cold, not warm, cold. The yuca was ok , no onions like it said on the menu either, disappointed. We ordered the empanadas of carne and they were ok, a little dry but at least they were piping hot and the hot sauce that was served with it was nice, not the usual ají casero that is usually served with empanadas. We ordered a shrimp rice dish also that was served with patacones and a small salad on the plate. The vinaigrette was tasty , a few of the shrimp were not fully cooked , we left most of it. Overall we were very disappointed, restaurant staff were friendly but I had to ask 3 times for a colombiana soda and it finally came with no cup or ice which is not a biggie but having to ask 3 times was annoying . No one ever came to the table to ask how things were or if we would like anything else. Had to ask a random food runner for our check , when our server arrived it was slick that they added service charge without asking , mind you I have never not given servers the service charge, it’s not that big of a deal but it just should be asked for and not assumed or just snuck in. There are lots of great places in the candelaria , this is not one of them for me.
