Colombia BBQ Restaurant

Pretty good. I tried the Columbia platter last night with my husband. (feeds 4 but we also like to have leftovers). We ordered take out and picked up to eat at home. Comes with so much meat! Chicken, Pork Ribs, Pork Chops, Steak, Chorizo, and Chicharron (pork belly) plus Yellow Rice, Fries, and Maduros (sweet plaintains)
Steak is good. Thin cut, but not hard, which is a plus. Chicken good and not dry. not overly moist, but not dry either. Pork chops were good, thinly sliced, so easy to eat, even without a knife. Chorizo is cooked whole, which I’m sure easy. All chorizo have spices, and this was pretty mild, which I think fit with the platter. Personally, i would have sliced it up to serve, but i guess individuals can do that on their own. (I did and mixed it into my rice). My husband snatched up the Chicharron, before realizing that there was only one long piece (partially cut up), so I missed out on this. He said it was good, but not the best he’s had. (We make be spoiled b/​c my mom makes her chicharron at home from scratch — carving the whole pork belly before marinating and roasting) Pork ribs were good, not too fatty, not too dry. Short — about 4 inches long. good for a combo platter, but I’m used to longer 7 – 8 inch ribs.
Rice is nice and fluffy with a light garlic taste. My husband suspected that it may be cooked in a rice cooker. This was nice and not too starchy — a good variation from the looser rice we get from another bbq spot. The looser rice tends to be more greasy and hardens easily.
Some places have peas/​carrots in the rice. Columbia does not — but it doesn’t make a difference to me. Just noting it for others, in case they care.
Steak cut fries — I would have preferred thinner, or shoestring, but they were still crispy — so goo din my book.
Maduros were good, but, again, I think that I’m spoiled by mom’s cooking, and these could have been sweeter (another day to ripen, or slightly carmelized). Maybe even boil them a bit longer?
$ 34 for the platter (even though website says $ 29 — they should update) but still not bad for 4 meals!
Pretty good for a first time try! Will probably order from again, especially since they are not far from my apt. I can pick up after work, or even have them deliver!
We’ll be eating the leftovers tonight!
P. S. For all my Colombianos — I know it’s Colombia, but the sign on the door and the menus say Columbia. idk

What you see is what you get here. It’s not fine dining, it’s great portion sizes at a very affordable price.
The food is pretty damn good. Be sure to call ahead and have your order waiting. They have a few tables inside for dining but I’ve only ever done take out there.
Be sure to get an order of the red beans too.

I think I’ve found BBQ heaven!
This place, though small and crummy-​looking on the outside, is not to be judged by its cover. We ordered the meat platter for 4 – 5 people ($ 25) to go, which included pork ribs, chicken, sausage, steak, and chicharron. We asked to substitute extra pork ribs for the chicharron and they let us do that. It came with yellow rice, maduros, and fries. TIP: order ahead!!! This place gets super busy and 30 minutes into waiting there I eventually realized that everybody calls in and picks up their order.
The food was nothing short of amazing, and they literally give you like 4 pounds of rice underneath all that meat. The fries were good and the plantains were perfect. My favorite of all the meats was definitely the pork ribs, the chicken was very good as well.
If you are craving BBQ for super cheap this is your ideal spot! (Just make sure you call ahead.)

Good weather, bbq, Yes Please!
We ordered takeout today and I was salivating thanks to the Unilocal raving reviews. The fam and I ordered lunch and we had the Chicken and Ribs combo!
I will say this… The pork ribs and sweet plantains were GREAT!!! IMO the chicken was a bit dry and lacked flavor and the fries blahhhh. The portions were awesome and we got tons of food for $ 19.
The fam enjoyed the food and everyone had the same reactions to fries. I will def give this place another try as maybe I caught them on an off day.

I Love this place. Whenever im craving for some spanish bbq, this is the place to go. The chicken and pork ribs are marinated and grilled perfectly and the serving sizes are huge! Their desserts also look tasty but I never got the chance to try. Definitely coming back

Horrendous. Horrible. I ordered on Saturday, Feb 14, at night — 7pm. The food arrived at 9:05pm. I live 1.3 miles away. If the food was going to take this long, they should have said so. I kept calling to follow up and the lady who answered the phone kept saying 10 more minutes
It’s too bad because the food was actually good. But not worth the 2 hour wait.

I absolutely love this place. Their chicken is amazing and their rice is the best I’ve ever had from a bbq spot. The fries were a little dry, but the rice! Wow! The vinaigrette is to die for. You actually agog it to the rice and not a salad. If you prefer from here I’d definitely ask for extra

I’ve ordered from here a couple of times. $ 8 for a huge tray of rice, fries and pork ribs? Yes please! I added a small order of maduros on the side and the total came out to $ 11. So much food and so delicious! The woman who took my order is so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back.

Good food for a good price! Get the pork rib and chicken combo with rice and fries if it is your first time ordering from here. The platter combo is $ 14,Portions are big so order with an empty stomach.

This place is delicious love everything from there it is my go to when I’m ordering out I usually get the meat combo chicken ribs chorizo steak rice plantains fries for 25 $ it will feed an army lol I also recommend asking for this tomato pepper onion vinegar thing on the side tastes amazing mixed with the rice. Yumm I’m getting hungry just thinking about this place. Always on point delicious food for a great price!!!

This place is such a sleeper BBQ spot. It’s on the corner of a semi-​rugged strip on Washington Ave. It’s signage tells a completely different story from the food, service, and menu.
What I really like about this place is that their yellow rice piles high and clumps like white rice and is garlic-​y! Its grains are not loose and separate. The chicken is great; their ribs are plump and not dry (but not very moist either). It’s a matter of preference really and this place does it for me. I just wish it weren’t 15 minutes from my home.
FYI — Call and place your order in advanced. A majority of their business are phone orders.
