"Known for classic Bogotá-style empanadas, offering traditional empanadas bogotanas made with milled corn and filled with meat-and-potato guisos before being fried or baked." - Juliana Duque
The reviews are true. Great place with lots of history and most importantly good food in the Chapinero neighborhood. The empanadas are wonderful little bite sized morsels filled with potatoes and beef. Also loved the longaniza and chicharron. Well worth a stop.

This restaurant is a big SCAM!! Think twice before going, the empanadas are horrible and tasteless, a cheap limonada de agua panela costs almost 15,000 COP, the whole menu is ridiculously OVERPRICED, the place looks old and dirty…NEVER AGAIN!!

The restaurant is advertising like the best empanadas and food in town, but is false. The empanadas are ridiculously small and tasteless, little portions of food and made of poor Colombian recipes. Don't waste your money.

Terrific classic Colombian food. Family owned and operated in Bogota Colombia since 1905. The restaurant is in the center of the city in a neighborhood called Chopinero. When it started out it was so far out in the country it could only be reached by a wagon rd.

Loved it. Offer very authentic Colombian food including traditional dishes from Bogotá. It was delicious, staff was friendly and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended

This is a traditional restaurant in the heart of Chapinero. This place has been preserved as it use to be since 1902. Their "empanadas" are outstanding. "Ajiaco" is also one of the dishes that has been the original recipe. But there are lots of options in their menu such as tongue, Sobrebarriga, Chicharrón, "Puchero Santafereño"

Las Margaritas gained reputation as a 100 year restaurant and from time to time seeks some contest to position itself as "the best [something]". Yet, the casual visit any other weekend yields very disappointing results.
If you're looking for ajiaco this is not a good place for it. The size of the dish is nothing compared to well-known competitors at the Bolívar Square, such as" La Puerta Falsa" which was established around the 1810's.
Las margaritas is also known for its empanadas, yet the size, cooking and pricing are nothing of compared to most empanadas available on the streets of the city.

Was a special feeling being in a restaurant that is a 110 years old. Was tucked away and felt local. Food was good, typical colombian. The owners and the service were very attentive
