The Colombian Spot

I have discovered a hidden gem in Pittsburgh. They offers delightful and delicious food and drinks. However, I believe there is room for improvement in terms of their service. During my visit, I noticed that although there were three waiters, only one seemed to be actively working. I had to wait for more than 5 minutes to receive the menu. Despite this, I would still consider going again because the quality of the food makes it worth another visit.

I really love the food and go often but lately the service has been low vibrational and the energy of the wait staff has changed drastically and it has affected my appetite.

2021 review: I came here last week with my husband and friends for lunch. The food was amazing, as amazing as I remembered it from 2 years ago. Their green garlic sauce is the bomb, it's the perfect sauce for every dish and side. I ordered the ROPA VIEJA and it was awesome! Their fried plantains and sweet plantains are very well done, and their juices are made in house and fresh. I didn't like the passion fruit juice (not sweet enough) but the guava juice was amazing. the 2019 review: I came here for dinner with my old friend. First of all, we we're the only people eating dinner at the from 5:30 to 7:00 on a Tuesday. I was suspicious because does that mean it's a bad restaurant? But then I realize most people do take out from this restaurant. There was only one server who was working that evening, who answered tons of phone calls for take out and served us at the same time. The food is Mexican and it was very good! They offer many choices for meat eaters, vegetarians, and those that are gluten free. Two problems came up. First, they messed up my friend's appetizer. She ordered a vegetarian appetizer, but the kitchen made her a beef one. Second, the server forgot to get my friend orange juice. Third, the server was using her memory to take our order - she didn't even have a notebook and pen to take down what we wanted. That may have been the reason why the first two problems happened. Overall, great food but questionable service.

Just went for lunch with a friend on Tuesday. I’ve had my eye on this restaurant for awhile. Perfect time to go to the Southside and not be stressed out by traffic and parking and construction. It was so bright and pleasant inside. The food was delicious and our waitress was very friendly and helpful. I suggest you go with a group and try as much on the menu as possible. The menu is very descriptive and easy to navigate if you are not familiar with the cuisine. If you like hot’n spicy they have an extra sauce that’s not on the table to pair with your food. We really enjoyed the tea and our alcoholic beverages were delicious. The margarita was perfect and my friend enjoyed her mojito. Everything is made fresh, from scratch. We left full and did not even have room for dessert. Maybe next time...Highly recommended. Fun, friendly, casual place to eat.

My gf and I were in town for the weekend. She is from the DR, we searched dominican food and found this amazing spot. The food is friggin legit!!!!! I will definitely be coming here again next time I'm in town for work, absolutely amazing food and staff.
