Order the Empanada Sampler and choose Chicken, Steak, Vegetable (spinach, mushroom, red & green pepper, onion, tomato, aji pique scallion cilantro sauce), and Domino (black bean & queso feta, crema).

The Colombian staple, Bandeja Paisa, is a must here: grilled skirt steak, pork chicharron, white arepa, rice & beans, fried egg, maduros, avocado, & cabbage salad.

Ginger Tamarind Chicken Wings offer a unique combination of sour and spicy which is absolutely delicious.

Shrimp ceviche $15, side of sautéed kale $7 and arepa sweet corn + fried egg $6.50. Sangria $10. Busy but at seating unreserved

The Sangrita, half frozen margarita, half sangria (white OR red) is excellent. Less sweet than your typical frozen drink but still just as refreshing!

Good Colombian food. I tried the corn, empanadas, and arepas with Colombian chorizo. The chorizo was too dry. The vibes are nice. Servings are big and probably better to order and share

Awesome veg option- sweet potato black bean quinoa cake!! They were flavorful, hearty, smoky, sweet & spicy yet well balanced. Tostones & gallo pinto perfectly rounded out the dish. Huuuge portion.

Great vegetarian, vegan, wheat-free and gluten-free options. Best arroz con pollo I've ever had, and the banana bread pudding was a great way to end the night. Gets busy, make a reservation!

I flippin' love this place! Adorable aesthetic and amazing food. They mark vegan options, but also cool about substitutions. Highly recommend the black bean patacones with guac and hogan sauce.

the margaritas are incredible, especially the hibiscus and smoke chipotle pineapple. get the ginger tamarind wings. they are to die for.

The staff is friendly, the food is consistent, the prices are more than fair - this place is a neighborhood gem. Solid maduros, empandas arroz con pollo. Chicken tortilla soup it's a crowd pleaser.

Mojitos, Sangritas, Sangrias, Margaritas, Pina Coladas and what more could you want? Brooklyn's best latin american restaurant offers the foods and drinks of Colombia and South AMERICA.

Fun local dinner spot. The food has great flavor & love the sauces. Try the jerk chicken special or lamb chops. Also, quinoa cakes, coconut shrimp and empanadas. Tons of drink options...guava 'ritas!

Tres Leches cake. Sangrita. Arepas with cheese and tomato scallion toppings. Everything we ordered was good and the service was fantastic. Definitely will take people here again.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food and affordable pricing. Plantain chips were yummy. Arroz con pollo was very fulfilling. Pernil was awesome. Check in for free shots.

Cute place with decent happy hour until 7. Got yummy pina colada. Empanadas are great, get the goat cheese one
Ajo de la ChipotleSeptember 9, 2018

Alison GreshamSeptember 22, 2014
Loved the Plantain Crusted Chicken with Mango BBQ sauce, steamed yucca and rice & beans! Add the Cholula Hot Sauce for the perfect spicy flavor topping.

Ran into this place by accident last year. Now I frequent it on the regular. I suggest making reservations if you go on a friday or saturday night! Great staff, excellent food and AWESOME drinks!
Jayson LSeptember 1, 2012
The impanatas are really good here and the foursquare complimentary piña colada is actually good ☺. Last bandeja paisa is really good.
Jaysyn LongoriaSeptember 7, 2013
Try the plantain chips with the black bean dip, absolutely amazing. Jerk chicken was beyond perfect. Will be hitting this spot again!!

virgin pina colada is my proverbial non alcoholic jam. favs include goat cheese or guava empanadas, elote (grilled corn), and maduros.
Lindon ChenDecember 19, 2015

All liquor sales are final. Um isn't that true at all bars? Whatever, the drinks and food are delicious and the service is friendly and thorough.

Love the empanadas sample. Atmosphere is nice for friends and family.

Bogota serves up generous plates of arroz con pollo, orders of arepas and empanadas, and other Colombian classics to a young, convivial crowd, fueled by house sangria.
Allison KasicSeptember 7, 2018
Excellent empanadas. The guava/cheese one is my favorite.

Make it a point of introducing yourself to Luis, the host and assistant manager. He's pretty awesome. Take a pic with him and post it for extra points.
Amanda SJune 1, 2014
Food was excellent, and a very good value! Fun, festive atmosphere. Huge portions and table 73 is very nice for 2.
Laura KathJuly 8, 2018
I wouldn't recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Colombian food. This is more of the americanized version of it. Portions are also smaller than I thought. Do order the big refajo!!
SabrinaJune 20, 2015
Empanadas make a great cheap snack. Let the bartender help you concoct a smokey fruity marg on the rocks.
William JohnsonJuly 30, 2016
Ropa vieja and empanadas are incredible. I say that but everything else on the menu is amazing too!
Sylvana GJune 23, 2016
Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options! Have never been disappointed with their quality and service. Fantastic mojitos too 😊
Brian AlvarezJanuary 19, 2017
The pernil is out of this world, and they know how to make an awesome michelada.
Brandon ChhinJune 18, 2017
Snapper was good, but gotta work through the bones. Plantains are a little soft if eating late night.
Wendy QiuApril 27, 2015
Passion fruit and Guava margartias ..7 dollars during happy hour... it seems to mostly always be "happy hour"
Sandy Rizzotto DiPiazzaSeptember 29, 2013
Try the stuffed plantain with chicken omg to die for also try the columbian ribs with mango bbq sauce!!!
Henry YuanMarch 25, 2014
Domino empanada is amazing, especially with the sauce it comes with.
