Restaurante Hacienda Junín — Restaurant in Medellín

The food was HORRIBLE! The put dry powder chopped meat on white rice. The powder meat was NOT cooked. It was like having to eat sand on rice, grainy and yucky. Why use uncooked powder meat when they could have used real chopped meat.The beans were tasteless. My sister and her husband did not like their food either. Yuck! Also, make sure you check your bill, this waiter charged the credit card, then said it needed a code. We told him that we don't need any code for credit cards. He kept on insisting that it was debit and wanted the code. We told him to canceled it so we paid it in cash. When we got the receipt after we paid him in cash, our receipt stated that it was already paid with the credit card. He didn't want to cancel it.

Excellent quality of food. We had all sort of chicharrones (all styles they have are very different from each other). They have a tamarindo soda which tastes like heaven. I would definitely would go back.

Because I trust it was only a matter of this particular waiter, I can give this restaurant a four-star, but not a...

While there’s certainly a million places in town to get cheaper food, and plenty to get more expensive too, I really like the price to quality ratio here. Unpretentious and delicious.

(Except maybe the pulled pork waffles. Pretentious for days. They stand toe to toe with any extravagant American brunch dish.)

Don’t expect American style attentiveness. After the initial greeting at your table, just make eye contact with any waiter for assistance. They will also ask before the bill if you want to add the standard 8% tip. It threw me off at first. It’s just the norm in Medellin.

Be sure to have the Guandolo at least once. Panela...
