Rancho Mateo - Elizabeth

I did come across some negative reviews, but after reading them, it seemed that the complaints weren’t really focused on the food itself. Taking a chance on this place turned out to be a great decision—I LOVED it! I highly recommend giving it a try. It even inspired me to return to my hometown in search of Colombian food to relive the wonderful experience I had at this restaurant.

I had my first visit to this restaurant and fell in love with the decor. Although it was crowded and we had to wait a bit to be seated, it was worth it. Once we got to our table, I was delighted with both my drink and the food. Our server was exceptionally sweet—polite, attentive, and she brought everything out quickly while answering our questions about the menu. We were celebrating my friend's birthday and ordered a few appetizers, including the small empanadas, which were fantastic. This place is definitely a must-try!

The atmosphere is excellent! The food is wonderful, and the drinks are impressive too. The portion sizes are generous and reasonably priced. A tip of approximately 19% is automatically included in your bill, but you have the option to add more when you sign. Just a heads up: there’s an additional fee for using a debit or credit card, so it’s advisable to pay with cash. I will definitely be back!

Love this Colombian restaurant so much, so many steak options and makes me feel like I’m in Colombia! Love the Henny Colada and they have great lunch specials! Also on rainy days the have the best caldo de costillas around and available everyday all day.

Having lunch in this place was a nice experience, I was looking for Carne a la llanera and this place offered me this option. The flavor of this, was awesome, I really liked it and the amount of meat was good. I also could drink refajo which was also amazing. The term of cook of the meat should be improved but in general the term was good. I liked the place, there is enough room, the bar is awesome, the decoration is good, it brought me memories. The bathroom were clean, the staff was very kind, I'd just suggest to increase the number of staff since, I noticed that they were overwhelmed at some point, even the bus boy were more helpful than the waiter. If you would like to have a good time, with good meal and good Colombian flavor, this is the place that you should visit
