Colombia for Everyone — Restaurant in Omaha

Had lunch at this location on a Sunday and the food was excellent. The restaurant is in the Oakview Mall food court that has ample seating available. The staff were friendly and front counter has pictures of some of the items available. The full menu was on display but the screens cycle through so you either have to watch several times or scan a QR code to get to the full menu. We were offered a sample of their coffee which was great. It was lightly sweetened with a rich flavor. We started with 2 different empanadas, beef and Hawaiian. The outside shell is perfectly crisp on the outside and the dough tender. The beef empanada had a juicy shredded beef filling that was well seasoned. The Hawaiian empanada was also delicious with stringy cheese, ham and pineapple. We ordered the Bandeja Paisa which included a piece of grilled marinated skirt steak, chicharron(fried pork belly with the skin), a chorizo link, rice, beans, fried sweet plantain, fried egg and an arepa. The steak was delicious the marinade kept the meat juicy. The fried pork belly was crispy on the outside and the meat was tender. The chorizo was well seasoned, different from Mexican chorizos. The rice was well seasoned and the beans are excellent. The beans are a variety that I never tried before that are slightly larger than a pinto bean with a firmer texture. I love sweet plantains so it definitely rounded out the meal along with the griddled arepa. I would like to see the sweet plantains offered as a side. We also ordered the Calentado which is basically and combined version of the Bandeja Paisa minus the steak. Rice, beans, sliced chorizo and fried pork belly are combined together and the flavors meld perfectly. If you want a different version of the Bandeja Paisa that you can just dig into and enjoy the Calentado is for you. We also ordered the La Golosa Burger. The burger was delicious and definitely different from your standard burger fare. The patty was moist and juicy topped with a fried egg, cheese, sweet plantain, with lettuce, onion and a creamy sauce. Although it seems like a lot of competing flavors everything really does come together for a flavorful bite. The fries and creole potatoes made for a great side, especially the creole potato which had a creamy texture on the outside like I haven't experienced before in a potato. I would like to see the creole potatoes available as an additional side item on the menu. We were also offered a hot chocolate to try which was excellent, creamy in texture and rich in flavor definitely different and better than the packet hot chocolate I usually drink. The soursop fruit juice was refreshing with a sweet slightly tangy flavor that gives tropical vibes. The pricing is fair given this is freshly prepared sit down restaurant quality food that just so happens to be in an easily accessible food court. Overall, we will definitely return to try more of the menu along with the items we already tried. This is a great place to experience some delicious Colombian food if you haven't...

My husband is colombian and we really enjoy eating here so much. I just wish the menu was on the board above because my wifi doesn't work well and it took 5 whole minutes to load, that's my only issue. It's definitely a must try though. We recommend it 100% 👌 my favorite is the hot chocolate (chocolatada) and the arepa quesudas, the only way I can describe it is como una pupusa con mucho queso pero dulce. My husband loves la bandeja paisa lots of meat, rice, beans, avocado, arepa you name it. It comes with this delicious salsa verde but it's not spicy. I took my sister today to try it and she fell in love with the stuffed arepa. It was stuffed with cheese and seasoned beef that's shredded it came which 2 dips, and fries as well. Estaba rico todo como siempre. They never disappoint it's always so...

Located in the food court at the mall. Went on a monday afternoon and although the mall was empty, there were several customers eating here which was a good sign. They have a pretty good selection of Colombian classics. Had the bandeja paisa and it was good. The portion is fair for $18. The beans are def not from a can, they tasted fresh and had good flavor. The steak was tender and well seasoned. The chicharron was ok, wish it was more crispy but i liked it. The chorizo was also good. I also liked the arepa and big piece of platano maduro. I also had jugo de lulo which was excellent. The service was fast and the people are very kind. I will have it again when im...
