Colombia in Park Slope

I absolutely cannot recommend this place enough. i’ve been in search of authentic Colombian food in the city, and I finally found it here. All the flavors are on point, and the staff couldn’t be more kind. I can’t wait to come back.

Food was very tasty and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Very nice place. I felt it was just a tag expensive but hey I was in park slope and the food was great quality.

I was seriously craving shrimp ceviche, so of course I headed to one of my favorite Latin spots—Bogota Latin Bistro. Even though they had just stopped serving it, Miguel went above and beyond to make it happen. He had the chef prepare it fresh just for me, and it hit the spot! The drinks? Strong and delicious. The service? Always warm and welcoming. Bogota continues to be my go-to for flavorful, authentic Latin food in a vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommend

intimate seating and tasty ajiaco. Guacamole didn't blow me away but the blood sausage in the picada colombiana did. Yummy ajiaco soup with shredded chicken, flavorful and gots corn and potatoes. Tostones was crispy and I love the avocado sides too. Shrimp in creamy sauce is nice with spinach and tomatoes. yuca in the picada and corn cake all taste nicely fried, meats was slice thin enough where its not overwhelming. That patacon pizza was creammyyy yum crispy green plantain bottom.

muuuuuuuuy delicioso. tanto delicioso. never been to Colombia but hope it's like this restaurant. if I ever do. it was a great experience and easily one of my favorites here. I had the bandejo paisa and the ajiaco soup tasty and super filling, along with the guanabana which is soursop jugo con leche, and cafe con leche which had this roasty hot chocolate aftertaste. can't say enough good things about this. that is so traditional and super recommended and definitely will be back

I’m a big fan of this place. It definitely represents the best Colombian cuisine, the owner is a nice woman who welcomed me and my family every visit. Ajiaco & Bandeja Paisa are the best dishes in my opinion. Highly recommended! 🇨🇴

Food and drinks were amazing! Our server was so nice and helpful! Highly recommend!

I seriously love this place. I order delivery all the time and the soups HIT THE SPOT!! I’m not Colombian but I am Latina and this satisfies my cravings for comfort food all the time. The sancocho feels like a hug from your mom. Never lacking in portions and flavor. I’m sure it’s even better when you dine in. ❤️❤️

Came here with my wife & Aunt after a day at the Brooklyn museum. The food = Delicious!! The service = outstanding and very attentive plus they were all friendly. The vibe is super cool, and I love that they have a back patio outdoor space. I highly recommend this place for a scrumptious meal and a good time!

My friend raves about this place's pizza. I didn't know it was green plantain based crust, which I was a fan of bc i love tostones. Rice is nicely flavored and its a quaint cutesy place very intimate with a friendly server. She was kind and check up on us often. My guac for the table was loved by my cousin but for me i prefer them chunkier. I would get it spicier for next time but the table prefers mild. Our group's favorite of the options was the ajiaco (soup), the chicken was nicely shredded and the corn and potato has such good flavor, the pot itself was super conveniently homey vibe. Picada was nicely fried w a various of pork and beef, yuca fried was nice and the blood sausage has a very juicy flavor with yummy rice bits which all blends very well with a side of avocado and soupppp. A little side salad came with the patacon pizza, and there was unlimited amount of sauce i think its ketchupmayo taste good w fried meats. The carne asada camerones with the creamy sauce and spinach tomatoes was a cute entree to share. The juice was freshly made.

Your dining budget is respected and rewarded here. The workers are wonderful! A search on Yelp helped me discover this spot. DELIIIIIIICIOUS!! Though not always perfect, this restaurant delivers quality.

Every compliment in reviews is backed by actual quality. Exceptionally warm flexible intelligent kind team showing zero pretension. The waiters impressed with inventively prepared dishes. This place succeeds with its menu, its design and its team. This restaurant deserves another visit when I return.

amazing service and food !!! They helped me with my Spanish project and were very helpful!!!

This place tastes like home cooking. My favorite dish is Chuleta de cerdo en salsa de Tamarindo. It's *chef's kiss*

I came the second time came Wednesday and came Friday. They were my good side. Drink was all right. try to come here before 4 o'clock to get the lunch specialThey said it's over at three but they still have an advertise for four that's not good but brought something so had roast pork Rice the beans sweet plants. It was all right not as good as the first time what surprise me charge 20% gratuity and don't say nothing just put in the bill. They highlight it when they give you the damn bill so had to pay extra $10 for my plate of food and then they give you a bill that you put a another tip it's crazy if you don't pay attention. You already paid them a tip so they'll slide you another bill that you can add tip double dipping that's what I call it. I don't think I'll come back unless do lunch specials really a pricey restaurant.order margarita seven dollars that was no special I had to add my own firewater the atmosphere it's all right. It's kinda small cozy. Have a backyard.

Heard about this spot through IG and had to try the pernil a la cerveza! It was so good! Tender and savory. I love Colombian food and usually make my judgement based on how the bandeja paisa tastes but I had to try their ajiaco (most places don't offer it or only on certain days) it was good! Service was kind and quick. Ambiance is friendly. Drinks were strong and delicious! The mojito with aguardiente was a yummy touch. I would make the drive out to try their food!

Good eats, and a nice casual ambiance - very warm and inviting. Came in without a reservation on the weekend in the afternoon and we were seated immediately. Service was fast too.

Very nice atmosphere food was delicious. Next time I want to sit outside on the patio.

Monday, August 26, 2024 Dinner for 2. We were greeted and sat immediately. We received menus and water and started to look over the menu.. We decided on passionfruit beverage and a soursop beverage. Both were very good...just needed a little ice. We order an order of Guacamole with plantain chips which was fresh and mildly spiced. Estrada Asada is beer marinated steak in a delicious sauce and came with salad, muduros, rice and beans. Very tasty and well made. Parillada Columbia a variety of meats which were all flavorful and tender came with salad and rice which I added and iver easy egg to. Churros fresh and piping hot, litely sugared topped with whipped cream and mint over a drizzle of raspberry sauce. Everything was wonderful. Staff and service was great as was the food and beverages.

Very good authentic Colombian food the best service and drinks. Staff is very friendly small but cozy but they do have a really nice back patio. Kind of a hidden Gem because it's never super crowded

Great spot to go for a quick casual bite! We got the pernil and ceviche and both were delicious. The pico de gallo was so refreshing to nibble on, especially on a nice summer day. Service was great too! Definitely try to get a spot in the back patio if you can as well.

Brooklyn is not know for good Colombian food. I have ordered from Bogota Latin Bistro consistently only because I've dined there and its decent. I decided to order from Colombian in park slope and was disappointed. Paid $70 for a Bandeja paisa with Morchilla, which it self pretty good but the rest... it was just OK. The steak was tiny. The food tasted good and was well seasoned, but the Chicharrón just looks so sad. I think I prefer Bogotá Latin bistro better as their Bandeja paisa seems superior than this place.

Forget Sábado gigante. Hello Feliz viernes! The best Colombian comfort foods and drinks with complimentary shots of Aguardiente courtesy of the house for every guest. Stay an hour, stay forever. There's no pressure to settle up and leave anytime soon, but you won't want to either!

Colombia in Park Slope is located along the busy Fifth Avenue where there are tons of shops and restaurants to visit. It would be really easy to walk right by this eatery thanks to its very unassuming store front, but inside is comfortable decor with an aesthetic heavily focused on wood and warm colors. The front has a table that easily seats four right by the bar. More seating is located in back that could easily fit a dozen people or so. The staff at Colombia is extremely friendly and good about answering questions about the menu. When we needed multiple take out boxes at the end of the meal they were great about bringing them quickly. They were also very apologetic when one of the drinks I ordered was not available (I ordered my second choice, it was no big deal). My friends and I shared several appetizers before our entrees so here's a rundown of all the food I had during my recent visit: AREPA DE CHOCLO CON QUESO (Sweet Corn Griddle Cake With Melted Fresh Colombian Cheese) We ordered an Arepa and added on Chicharron to it. We deliberately picked the sweet corn cake so there would be a wonderful sweet and savory combination and it did *not* disappoint! The chew was perfect with some crispiness thanks to the Chicharron. The flavors were spot on. I absolutely loved it! GUACAMOLE CON TIRAS DE PLATANO A LA MESA (Mashed Avocado Mixed With Cilantro, Onions, Tomatoes And Peppers, Made At Your Table, Mild, Medium Or Hot With Green Plantains) The guac is made fresh to order so you have a choice of going mild or spicy. Our table decided on mild (I would have preferred spicy) but that's ok! It was very tasty and I *loved* having plantain chips instead of the usual tortilla chips. That said, I like some cheese mixed into my guac so I was missing that a bit. EMPENADAS (Mini Corn Flour Empanadas Of Beef, Cheese or potatoes) This is the perfect dish to share with friends. We each got to try different Empenadas and they were very tasty with a perfect texture! My favorite was the beef one which was packed with flavor and the meat was moist. CHULETA DE CERDO EN SALSA DE TAMARINDO (Center cut pork chop marinated in tamarind sauce, served with rice, beans, fried sweet plantain and dilled onions) Any time I see a dish with a Tamarind sauce I'm *down* for it. This dish was excellent. The pork chops were cooked perfectly and the Tamarind sauce was wonderful (I wished I had more of it!). The rice and beans were tasty and the sweet plantain had a nice crisp on the outside with a nice and sweet flavor. I really enjoyed my time at Colombia in Park Slope and look forward to visiting again. :)

This old staple of Park Slope was one of my first introductions to Colombian cuisine many years ago, and I found myself back here on a recent cold evening when I was craving some soup. Their meat heavy menu wasn't an issue for me this time as I just reintroduced chicken back into my diet after 14 years without land animals, and their consome de pollo. The soup was okay-- it had corn on the cob, onions, and the stock was well seasoned. I found the restaurant itself to feel inhospitable with sticky seats and vermin in the bathroom, unfortunately.

I never write reviews for restaurants but the food, service and ambience were so divine. Their main dishes are certifiable home made style South American food and their tres leches is truly something special!

The staff here is really what earned the 5th star. I was between 4 and 5 - the food is very good, but I can be fairly stingy with my 5s as true mind blowing food is rare - but the staff is just so friendly and wonderful here it absolutely merits that final star. The staff is attentive and friendly. You can tell they go out of their way to make it a good experience for you. I had the mini empanadas, which were wonderful - definitely get them with the check in order. I also had the bandeja paisa, which to be honest, I think the bandeja paisa in the USA was better than the actual bandejas paisa I had in Medellín lol. Something about the ones in Colombia - I don't love how they cook their chicharron, tbh, but the chicharron here was good and the rest of the items on the platter were very tasty. I definitely enjoyed it and look forward to returning!

Friendly staff. Bang for buck food (9$ empanada, 21$ bistec) - corn empanadas, the green sauce was spicy, and the yellow sauce was a mayo. - the beef was delicious and it came with beans. nice ambiance. - comfortable seating.

Came here for brunch with the sister. Initially I'm skeptical about eating Colombian food in gentrified places in Brooklyn. But honestly the food was very good. Wifey ordered the fried fish, I got the eggs Benedict with chorizo, sister got the skirt steak, and lil man wanted chocolate waffles lol. Everything was delicious. Sat in the back of the restaurant. Plenty of space there. The staff were super friendly and attentive as well. Food came out in the right amount of time. Prices are about the same as if I was going to eat in Jackson heights post pandemic.

Incredible. My boyfriend and I dined here tonight and had the best Colombian food I've had in a minute. It was authentic, served in a warm environment, and the drinks were delightful. The staff were wonderful, too. We'll be back for sure and we are still thinking about our delicious food!

Great food!! Great ambience!! The service was excellent. Every dish we ordered was delicious!!

This is one of my favorite Colombian restaurants. My husband is Colombian and he gets super picky when it comes to food from the homeland. Colombia in Park Slope is one of the few spots that makes the cut! Especially their ajiaco soup, a personal favorite of mine, which he tells me tastes pretty close to traditional. The vibe is low-key, and would be just as good for a date night as it would be for a family gathering. It's a good place with good food. Id highly recommend!

Delicious steak, maduros, rice, guacamole, everything! Great ambiance and great place in the neighborhood. Very nice servers, too.

Food is great here I love their steak dish, they also have a shrimp dish that's delicious their empanadas are great also. In the winter their soup is so hearty and delicious it's called sancocho. Service is great as well! Cute ambiance!

We stopped by to have a late lunch during the weekend and had a very good time in here. It was our first time and it will not be our last. Food was very good and had an authentic Colombian homemade flavor, I'm Colombian so I can tell. We had the bandeja paisa and sancocho de costilla and for dessert the coconut flan. For drinks we went with michelada beer, delicious, and apple Colombian soda, my favorite. Everything was delicious! The ambience is nice they play good music, the service was good too, people were incredibly friendly, decor is authentic and restrooms were clean. They have a back patio with a great setting, heaters, sound system, completely covered, and it looks like it gets fun at night! By the time we arrived it was closed however they offered to give us a table there. We sat inside regardless. Portions are more than enough if you have a big appetite, good to share if you will. Prices are good too. I'm happy to have tried this place and will recommend everyone to give it a try.

The place is cosy and cute, it had lots of Valentine's day decorations when we came. We tried various margaritas and all were good. The shrimp ceviche was refreshing and flavorful. We got the appetizer sampler. The empanadas were quite large, the vegetable one was particularly good. The guacomole was delicious. I thought the fried plantains were a bit dry but my husband loved them. We shared the Parillada Colombia and the steak was perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, flavorful. The shrimp was also very good. I thought the chicken was a bit dry but had great grilled flavor.

We ended up eating here because my top fave Indonesian restaurant (Java on 16th Street & 7th Avenue wasn't open yet) But gosh, this place truly rectified our luncha action. I ordered Camarones Ardientes, my GF had a combo cheese and potato empanadas + Sopa de Frijol Negro, Claudia had the potato empanadas, Robb had Planchas con Tostones y Aguacate. My shrimp entree was just excellent. I added the salsa verde on top for the extra kick. The Ardientes sauce truly compliments the rice and tostones. The piece de resistance is the Tres Leche cake Truly wished the slice was bigger I was savoring every bite! Next time we return, I would like to try the Pernil dish.

Second time eating at this restaurant and food did not disappoint. Everything was flavorful and delicious and the best part, they are on seated for reward cash back. Came back here for New Year's Eve lunch on purpose since the first time I was here I had enjoyed what my bro's friend ordered which was the sancocho beef soup ... delicious! Place is quite small and ambiance is typical Latin/Colombian... cute place

This place is another little jewel, the food makes me think of Colombia. The only concern here is the strength of the drinks. I have visit Colombia a dozen times, this laced needs to make its drinks strong. Park slope people can handle it..

Food tasted good, good quality. If you're in this area, it is definitely worth trying. There are only good things to be said about the quality of food. We have enjoyed Colombian at various places in Queens a bit more, with comparatively larger portions for the prices. The prices do seem fair enough for this restaurant's location. Again, this is a great choice if you're in this specific area.

Even years later, this place is still great. We unfortunately came too late for happy hour, which was until 6 PM. We still opted to get a pitcher of their special of the day, a passionfruit mojito. The pitcher was filled to the brim and we ended up getting 5-6 drinks out of it which was well worth the cost. For food, we ordered the guacamole and the Parrillada Colombia. The guacamole was great and was a large portion. I recall previously the plantains used to be more like tostones, but are now plantain chips which I enjoyed as well. The Parradilla was a huge shareable entree that came with assorted of grilled meat (shrimp, chicken, sausage and steak) which also came with rice and salad. I especially enjoyed the shrimp and steak. This entree was huge, so definitely share! We ended up taking nearly half of it home because we'd ordered the guacamole. Overall, this is a great place with a friendly staff! I recommend coming for brunch or happy hour to take advantage of their great drink deals at those times.

Food was delicious and service was great. Prices were good and even. Vegan selection. I would recommend this restaurant.

Came here with my husband for dinner. We've been here once before and loved the food! Upon checking in on Yelp we received an offer for some mini empanadas that we redeemed! We had the ceviche for an appetizer then ordered our entrees. I loved my unique dish, the Colombian pizza! Everything was seasoned perfectly and the service was great! Our server, Diana, made sure to refill our waters and check to make sure everything was ok. We definitely recommend Colombia!

As someone w Colombian heritage I'm always curious about Colombian restaurants. This is without a doubt the best one in Brooklyn and one of my favorites in the city. The staff are amazing and the place itself has fun Colombian decor and two different outside areas for dining. I always take people here when they visit Park Slope as I think it's the best place in the neighborhood. Order the mini-empanadas to start and have one of their amazing icy cocktails!

Very yummy Colombian food at @colombia5av and they serve fresh guava juice that I've really missed! My chicken rice was delicious and the creamy mushroom sauce went with it perfectly! I was so full halfway in but I just couldn't stop eating! Tummy was definitely a bit too full from the good food

It's really unfortunate that I've had to give this a one-star review. I started going to Colombia Park Slope in early 2019. I'd come over from Crown Heights about twice a week for the food, which is admittedly good (a before the pandemic is was great though, so there is a decrease in quality of the food). During lockdown and after I tried to support them from afar, ordering a few times. When we returned to 'normal' I returned to visiting the dining room. I've always been a generous tipper because I know it's not easy work and I also want to support my favorite places. It's always based on professionalism. On my recent and now last visit (after what, 30+ visits?) I ordered my usual, which comes with beans, and my guests ordered a entree that didn't come with beans, so he ordered a side of them. Food came out but his beans didn't. No big deal, he ate some of mine and that was that. When the check arrived it had the extra order of beans on there, despite not getting them, and 18% gratuity. But when I brought the charge for the missing side dish to the waiter's attention, he (Pelon, according to the check) took the check begrudgingly and returned with it corrected. However... While he did remove the beans, he then changed the gratuity from 18% up to 20%. While he thought he was being slick, you don't get one by me and you certainly won't take advantage of my generosity from previous visits. I will never return to this place, sadly, after all of this time. It's obvious that you think it's okay to take advantage of and try to get one over on your returning patrons.

Food delicious, the mini arepas were so cute and yummy, the service is super neat, quick and discreet, and the ambience is so homey

I enjoyed my meal at Colombia in Park Slope since I had been craving a meal that fit the bill of comfort food and at a restaurant I had never tried. I walked past the storefront and noticed they offered arroz con Pollo and I was sold because who doesn't love the universal starch and protein mixed with warm flavors? The service was excellent--very friendly, very welcoming. When my food arrived it looked beyond what I was hoping for and tucked right in like the hungry gringo I appeared to be on this night. The dish is certainly a large enough portion for most, laced with shredded chicken and dotted with peas all throughout. It's a reasonable spice level, which is to say, not very spicy at all, but while I've never been to Colombia, I am to understand that this is about right. I was offered two different "hot sauces" which I put in quotes because one was a chipotle aoli and the other was an incredibly delicious jalapeno/cilantro type of dressing. I splashed the jalapeno/cilantro all throughout the dish, except the serving size was a bit small, so I asked for a second. I was also told by my server that this is made on-site, not from a bottle or jar. Excellent ::air guitar solo:: I want to say my arroz con pollo was perfect but unfortunately I found the dish juuuuust a little dry, hence my request for another dose of sauce. I also found the chicken to be just a tad overdone, which really gave my teeth a workout since I had to chewchewchew a bit more than I hoped for. The star of the dish, though, were the sweet plaintains served around the perimeter of the dish. Perfectly firm, perfectly sweet, and an excellent component to the spices that brought the dish to life. Give Colombia in Park Slope a shot when you may feel undecided about where to eat. I removed one star for the dryness of the dish and one more for having to request another dose of the sauce, which in my opinion, should be served in a larger dish along with the main course.

I came here last week with a family member visiting from out of town and we had a great meal. The food was delicious, but the reason I'm writing this review a week later is because the staff was so friendly and attentive in a way that has stuck with me. Wonderful place, and I'm looking forward to returning soon!

The food here is AMAZING! This is my first review on Yelp. I've never written a review before this but let me tell you!! The food here is great. It's a little hole in the wall place and it's just fantastic. The food has good flavor, and my favorite part was their hot sauce!!! It tastes fresh and made in house, it was just super delicious. I almost even got another order of shrimp ceviche to go when we left I love this place and I've only been there once, the staff was very attentive and very helpful too. I can't wait to go back again!!

If you have yet tried Colombia in Park Slope, you need to find time ASAP. Let's start with appetizers. The guacamole is phenomenal. I've had a lot of guac in my life, and I'd say this is top tier. Pairing it with plantain chips is delicious. The empanadas are packed with flavor and fried perfectly. But what takes the cake are their arepas- I could make a meal out of them alone! I only get the Entraña Asada because the sauce and steak are literal perfection. The steak is LITERALLY always sooooooo tender and the gravy/sauce on top...chefs kiss! If you get this, ask for extra. I always say I'll try something new, but I can't stop ordering it. My husband does the same with Bandeja Paisa and says it is so damn good with the egg. The waiters and waitresses are always on point and very very helpful. They always know what drinks to recommend and those are always so good. The restaurant is small and intimate, but doesn't feel cramped at all. There are about 8-9 tables in front and several tables in the backyard. I've never eaten out there but have been back there while waiting for a table. If I remember correctly, they have heat lamps for when it's chilly. I definitely have seen a party or two back there. The decor is really really pretty also! So, do yourselves a favor and go there to get phenomenal food.

Great food. The bistec empanizado is so nice n crispy. So good perfectly cooked not fried. The margarita is good n guac n chips are great also. Service is attentive and courteous.

Service was fast, waitress was funny and offering free tequila shots.. my bandeja paisa was delicious so overall the spot is a good dinner date or girls night spot

We really liked this place! The shrimp dishes are wonderful and sauces are amazing. The empanadas are not traditional as they're mixed with potatoes and grounded but pleasantly a flavored-filled experience. Would recommend if you want a varied Colombian experience. Also the wait staff is super nice and the baristas are refreshing.

I came here with a couple of other friends per a friend's recommendation. As our group of 4 people walked into the restaurant, we immediately felt the lively and crowded atmosphere. We had to wait a while to get to one of the hosts to put our names down and give an estimate of how long it would be until a table opens up. They estimated 40 minutes and we decided to grab a drink at a nearby bar while waiting. When we came back, the table of 4 who was waiting ahead of us were just getting seated (we came back 50 minutes later). We were brought out menus on an iPad (which was a huge turnoff for most of us), and when we asked about the different dishes, the waiter wasn't very informative. We ended up each ordering a cocktail and a dish...and here is where the story really begins... To start off, I ordered a blackberry mojito. As the server brought it over my shoulder, he spilled the dark red drink onto my white blouse, and although I did say it was okay, it wasn't until one of my friends asked for something to get rid of the stain did the server/bartender offer a glass of club soda..that he proceeded to get 5 minutes after serving us our drinks. And while he wasn't very apologetic about the incident, I was hoping for the food to come quickly and lighten everyone's mood.. The food was brought out by a different waiter who inevitably did not know who ordered what dish, and was just placed haphazardly in front of each person. We were all confused and trying to reorganize our dishes as best we could. His whole attitude seemed like he could not care less. Onto the quality of the food. While the appetizers (guacamole and chips and empanadas) did taste delicious along with the entrees--I ordered the coconut shrimp with rice and plantains, I did happen to find a hair in my food that did not belong to me or anyone else at the table. Tl;dr--if you want a restaurant with good quality food but one of the worst services that you could possibly get, go to this restaurant. I will unfortunately not be revisiting..may possibly consider take out.

Looking for amazing Colombian food ... well this place had nailed it !! First let me say , their spicy margaritas are a must , just amazing . The arepa was delicious ! The empanadas were good , I've had better but still good and the pizza has a plantain as the base , just delicious !!! Great /attentive service They have happy hour that starts at 2pm Monday to Friday just an FYI

This place ever closed down, I would be so sad. The food is absolutely delicious, the sauces are wonderful, and the drinks are really good. They make a passion fruit Mojito that's absolutely amazing. And the sancocho and pernil is absolutely out of this world. They easily hosted a dinner for 12 people in their really beautiful backyard for my birthday, and the service was fantastic, and they even gave us all free shots at the end. Everyone that works here is a lovely person. I keep coming back, and this spot never disappoints.
