Good food and nice space

Aug 2021 • family

The carne asada is quite good, with both types of cheese. Everyone in our party was happy with their food, from shrimp to beef to a salad, all served on a patacon. Drinks were not my favorites.

Good food that can be shared

Jul 2019 • couples

The food is good and can be shared since the meals are big. They have natural lemonades and juices, very tasty.

Would definitely go back again

Jul 2017 • solo

This place has some amazing-looking dishes. I only ate a few and the ones on nearby tables looked even better. I thought the appetizer arepas were kind of bland. The patacon I had was fantastic. Service is friendly and profession but maybe a little on the forgetful side.

Got food poison, stay away.

Apr 2024 • family

I was visiting my family and they took me to this place, I got the patacon beef which it was a less than ok dish and it did felt a little off but didn’t pay much attention, long story short me and my mom got food poison from this place. I’ll never be back or recommend this place to anyone. Not a good experience.

Fab meal

Jul 2024 • couples

First meal we had out in Bogotá, it was great! The staff were lovely and were patient with us with our Spanish and the food was big portions. Would definitely recommend if you visit Bogotá.

Just No

Nov 2019 • none

Our stomachs hurt for a day after eating here. I am not sure how this gets four stars on here. The food doesn't taste fresh and it's just not good. Yes, the juices are okay, but other than that, it's not worth going. There are plenty of other places to eat in the neighborhood that are better. Service was find, but I'm also not sure why they call this a gallery. The only art is big photos of bananas. Don't waste your time.

Great Food but Lacking Service

Jul 2019 • business

When I arrived, there were 5 employees standing by the door talking. I passed them and stood there. No acknowledgement until I asked one of them if I should sit myself and he just shrug his shoulders (by the way, I speak Spanish so it is not a question of a language barrier). I sat myself down and the server gave me a laundry list of items not available in the menu because they "have not arrived": chicharrones, ribs and others. I ordered the soup. While delicious, it was luke warm. The main course I ordered was the "Patacon Paisa" which was delicious (they substituted the chicharrones with a cold sausage) and I enjoyed it. However, as it comes down to service, and I am really into the service part, it was very lacking. The employees will disappear for long periods at a time or gathered around the TV by the entrance to watch the Wimbledon pairs finals. Not once anyone came to offer me another beer, check on my food and in fact, after they brought me the main course, the soup bowl sat there empty in my table while servers passed by talking with other employees or on their radios. Then they will disappear again. I literally had to get off my table to ask for the check. While the food was pretty good, I would try other places recommended by the hotel next time.

Great Food!

Apr 2019 • couples

We are at this restaurant twice because it is simply delicious. We tried the patacón de carve desmechada and the patacón claus especial. Both were good but I personally enjoyed the simplicity of the first better. The staff are nice here as well. We had a pleasant experience. Pros: Great food Decent service Cons (or just things to be advised of): Not the cheapest place. You can spend up to two or three times the price of an average meal. Tip is included in the bill so take that into consideration

Amazing

Ate here due to its close proximity to our hotel. Our waiter Sebastian spoke great English and made drink and food recommendations which were perfect. Authentic Colombian and a great experience.

patarico!!!!

Jan 2016 • friends

Halo mis gentes, i and my friends tried it out for the first time this year, and i must say this was one of the best decisions i made while in Bogota. if you love plantains then you will like this restaurant. The ambience and setting of the place is so cool and lovely, while it's a bit pricey but worth every pesos. Have the Colombian twist to plantains, plus the music is so soothing. its best visited weekday after 7pm. in my opinion.

local food experience

Nov 2015 • none

Occasionally, you come across small restaurants that sell fairly cheap local food that really satisfies. Patacones is such a place. Selling a variety of meals that consist of a baked thin corn-bread platter covered in a variety of meats, veg, seafood in various combinations, this is filling, tasty food at its best. Service was very friendly and I did manage to order in English. Extremely good value and the food was well cooked, too. I went for real man-food (beef, pork scratchings and sausage with a guacamole side and salsa dip). Very satisfying. If you're in the area - go local and try the food here.

Is good

Aug 2015 • family

Food is delicious. The place is good and the menu is varied . Should pay more attention to the service because the waiters are very serious and few smile. The place in Cra 7 with 62 street is excellent

Authentic local food, good atmosphere

Jul 2015 • friends

Just FYI, this is a chain restaurant, but the food is really good and it isn't tacky feeling or anything! They have loads of different kinds of patacones you can try and it's very reasonably priced. Staff was friendly, food was good. My Colombian friend actually sought this place out and took me there so I could taste local food, so I know it's liked among Colombians and isn't a crappy Colombian version or Denny's or anything. I'd highly recommend it! There's another, smaller branch of this up north a bit further, near 11 and 82 I think - just look it up on Google Maps. It's in a mall though, with only a small sitting area, so if you'd rather have an actual restaurant experience, go for this location.
