Amazing soooo much food and I just kept eating and they made a special trip to deliver to me !!!! Thank you thank you

First time here and the food was excellent! Definitely have to hit this spot if you're in the area looking for Colombian food!

Excellent food and service....prices good for the amount of food.... My family and friends love to meet up and enjoy food and a nice atmosphere.!!

Every time I come here I get fresh amazing food. Needed some good hangover food so came here for the bandeja paisa. It comes with rice, beans, steak, plantains, chorizo and chicharon. All that for $12 (noches de Colombia charges 18 for lesser quality)! I've had the fried fish here as well and it's yummy. The waitresses are polite and the place is small but cozy and clean. If your looking for good local food for a great price, then this is the spot.

Excellent food and service. 1) The Bandeja Paisa was excellent. 2) The price is reasonable. 3) I loved the sauces. The hot sauce to the pink sauce.

Cómo Buna Colombiana me gusta todo bueno y barato. La carbonero es el restaurante que me ofrece lo que busco. BUENO, porque la comida es riquísima y fresca. Barato: porque sólo pago 7 dólares por el especial del dia, que es una sopa pequeña, arroz, ensalada , pollo asado, tajadas más una masamorra o aguapanela. Muchas veces en el especial del día te pueden ofrecer dos diferentes sopas o sancocho, como también te pueden ofrecer pescado frito, chuleta o pollo asado... El restaurante ofrece comidas caseras y otros platos muy deliciosos. Yo soy clienta fija de dona Carmen y su hija. La atención de aquí es excelente. Definitivamente se los recomiendo!!
