Colombian food that tastes just like it's made or cooked in Colombia! Their "Bandeja Paisa" (Country Platter) is Amazing! and so is their steak and grilled chicken! My Wife and I have been coming here for over to years because the staff and the Owner are as as friendly and courteous as ca be. We always come hungry and leave happy! Try this place out! You won't be disappointed!

The food has an authentic Colombian flavor. The service and ambiance are ok and it's a bit pricey but that flavor makes up for it. I love this place and we've eaten here many times.

The best Colombian restaurant in Gaithersburg! We have been there more than 8 times and has always been an awesome experience. We have even brought family and friends they all loved it. I am Colombian and I can say that their food it is so good. Starting with their snacks (buñuelos, pan de queso, empanadas y arenas), their breakfast and dinner plates ( arepa con chorizo, huevo pericos, ajiacos, delicious cazuela de frijoles, tilapia) and finishing with their awesome and friendly staff! Now I moved from MD but I will definitely go back! Small place but awesome!!! 👌🏽

Staff was SUPER nice. This is a small restaurant with plenty of street parking. I only bought some empanadas to go. This is my first time having Colombian empanadas so I dont know what the comparison is to others but the beef and potatoes were flavorful in them. The crust is thicker than I like but I think they're meant to be that way. My only wish is that there was more beef.

Was my first time visiting a Colombian restaurant. It is a nice, small and intimate setting. Unfortunately I love flavors when it comes to food so this didn't do it for me. I feel like they need a little more seasonings in their foods. It lacked taste for me.

We tried this restaurant for the first time this past weekend. It is smaller than it looks from the outside walking in (avoid taking a stroller/wheelchair) and they can also accommodate patrons who prefer to eat outside. We ordered appetizers-empanadas (which were very tasty) and arepas. The food was great-flavorful and authentic. The only big downside was the service. It took a considerable amount of time to get a menu, place an order and be served. We had to ask for serving plates for our appetizers. The restaurant has potential if they can improve and be consistent with their service.

We had an amazing meal at Colombian Breeze last Sunday. We had been there last about four years ago and it was good then...but it is really excellent now. Ownership has recently changed but within the same family. We are pulling for their success and hope to contribute to it by becoming regular customers.
