Rancho Mateo Colombian Steakhouse: A Flavorful Journey to Colombia

I recently dined at Rancho Mateo Colombian Steakhouse and was thoroughly impressed by the vibrant flavors and warm hospitality. From the moment I walked in, the lively and welcoming atmosphere immediately transported me to Colombia. The decor is colorful and festive, featuring traditional Colombian artwork and rustic wooden furniture. The ambiance is further enhanced by the lively Latin music playing in the background, creating a perfect setting for a fun and enjoyable meal.

The service at Rancho Mateo was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we felt welcome and well taken care of throughout our visit.

Their genuine hospitality added a personal touch that made the meal even more enjoyable.

The food at Rancho Mateo is the highlight of the visit. The menu offers a wide range of traditional Colombian dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. The empanadas were crispy and flavorful, and the arepas were perfectly cooked. The star of the meal was the steak, which was tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The bandeja paisa, a traditional Colombian platter, was a hearty and satisfying choice, featuring a generous portion of steak, rice, beans, plantains, chorizo, and an egg. The flavors were rich and authentic, making each bite a delight.

Rancho Mateo offers a variety of beverages, including traditional Colombian drinks. The tropical fruit juices were refreshing and flavorful, and the cocktails, such as the mojitos and margaritas, were well-crafted and delicious. These drinks complemented the meal perfectly and added to the overall dining experience.

The desserts were a perfect ending to the meal. The tres leches cake was moist and sweet, with a rich, creamy texture. The flan was also excellent, with a smooth consistency and a delightful caramel flavor. Both desserts were indulgent and satisfying, providing a wonderful conclusion to a fantastic meal.

The prices at Rancho Mateo are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you receive. It's an excellent value for a dining experience that offers authentic flavors and generous portions.

This place really surprise me, we were looking for a good carne en vara o a la llanera Venezuelan or Colombian restaurant since I’m Venezuelan and my husband is Colombian, we being trying different places that were not bad but somehow were missing something but this place has it all.

The place is big and decoration was very Colombian, everything was clean and tables has enough space between each other, everybody was in uniforms making it feel like a well prepared workers.

Great attention staring from the hosted that she was very nice, then our server Sebastian (the receipt said that was his name) was very patience and was recommending things without putting pressure, he came to the table a couple time to check on our food and make sure we didn’t need anything while we were eating but still gave us our space and time to eat and relax in our own time, he offered dessert and broad our check in very nice timing.

We started with a large Refajo, it was a bit big for two but at the end we drank it all (I don’t have a picture for this) but was perfect for the food we got.

We didn’t got an appetizer because we want it to eat a lot of meat, so we started with the “Carne llanera” (medium) that comes with cole slaw (Colombian style) steam potatoes and fried sweet plantain, the meat was tender and had that particular charcoal Smokey flavor very características of this type of preparation, the salad was a little citric very Colombian style and match perfect with the meat and of course potatoes and plantains were perfect, the portion was big, it was a lot of meat.

We also got an “Entraña Marinera” (medium) that was a skirt steak perfectly grilled súper extra tender that was melting as soon as got in my mouth topped with huge shrimps on a White House sauce, the combination of flavor for this meat was amazing didn’t need anything else the border of the meat was little crispy but the middle was medium, you can pick two sides and we picked rice and French fries, the rice was perfectly loose and fries were crispy and flavorful too.

And we finished with a “Tres leches Natas” that we shared, this is a tres leches cake mixed with postre de natas and it was fantastic, really creamy and actually it wasn’t that sweet, it was perfect.

Oh prices were very good for the quality of food they served.

Pictures will not make justice for the great flavors and...

LATEST AND GREATEST REVIEW RIGHT HERE!!!!! If you are planning to go based on their advertising do not fall for it like we did. It's complete bologna. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT AT ITS BEST. We went on November 18th for their well advertised "Marranada celebration " to have an unforgettable experience. Well, that was true just that we were the marranos who fell for it and sure it was unforgettable. They only ended up giving a small fatty piece of chicharron. I guess knowing them by now this is a marranada celebration for them. Thinking this was just a fluke, we decided to give it another try and we fell for it one more time. This time their advertisement was "Simulacro Decembrino" on November 23rd where they had advertised "buñuelos, natilla, hojuelas!!!!!" Sounds very appealing doesn't it? Well, again all FALSE ADVERTISING!!!!!!! We were given a piece of Natilla only and not very tasty. How can you promote these things and you don't even make sure you get someone that knows how to make good natilla? The buñuelos and the Hojuelas were definitely a no show. By now we were already very disappointed and well aware this was again their modus operandi but wanted to see what was their excuse for not having buñuelos and Hojuelas? and decided to ask the manager who was walking around very proud recording the people who were at the location. Her response was very short and evasive "well we already gave you Natilla." Then she turned to one of her friends at one of the tables right behind us and proceeded to tell him in a very burlesque way with a smirk "hah they are asking for bueñuelos." I find this even more disrespectful than the whole thing. You would at least expect an apology from the manager and some sort of an excuse not to come and continue making it seem like they did come through with their advertisement. Overall, don't go for the advertisement which is bloated with lies. Gave 2 🌟 🌟 only because the bartender was good and the music was ok. This is sadly typical behavior and lack of professionalism frequently exhibited by latin...
