Very good place for Latin flavors in neighborhood. I really enjoyed the La Picosa drink: the cucumber & lime flavor really stood out (very refreshing and presentation was nice). The breakfast tacos tasted very healthy and all the duck dishes were well executed. Cute space in the backyard but only for rsvp folks — we were walk-in so seated at bar (I recommend taking rsvp in advance). Service was good and overall good vibes.

Our old neighborhood spots, and this time I remembered to take pictures. Amazing latin American cuisine with nice collection of drinks. Beautiful and lovely space. It always Leaves you fulfilled!

Phenomenal atmosphere and food. If you can, book the garden area in the back. It will be easier to snag at the 6pm timing than the 7pm. It will enhance your experience 2 fold.
Dishes to try:
– Trout Ceviche
– Fried Pork Belly
– Shrimp Tacos
About the only downside is that cocktails were a little strong, which is not relevant for everyone, and seen as a bonus to others.

Overall food is more hits but some misses. I really liked the mushroom taco and shrimp that came out sizzling in flavorful garlic butter. These were the most tasty dishes. I also loved their arepa and cheesy bread – the texture was amazing! Other dishes like the mac and cheese, duck taco, steak were so so.

The service was okay, though not very helpful when we asked for recommendations. The ribeye special tacos were outstanding, but the rest of the dishes didn’t impress us.

Bang! This is called dining.
Nice summer/fall/spring evening you walk in here and all your worries are gone. The curation of design, smells, and sounds elevates your mindset of what to expect when you’re going out for dinner.
Get a seat outside on the patio and you’re in for a drink, especially in the early evening. The food was delicious and tacos were big. All dishes were cooked to essentially perfection and had just the right amount of flavor.

Went for a weekday late lunch.
The atmosphere is cute – sat in the green room on a sunny day. The outdoor patio was also available.
The food was not shabby – we got the miso eggplant, which was quite tasty but surprised that it was a cold dish!
The sausage and vegetable platter was a huge portion, this was a unique and hearty dish.
The shrimp taco was ok – it was nothing special.
The servers were friendly. I would come back to try other dishes and their cocktails.

This weekend I ventured to Fort Greene to enjoy the neighborhood vibe and decided on a meal at Colonia Verde. The atmosphere at this quaint little hot spot is transporting. Upon entering the front dining room one is completely unaware of the gorgeous little oasis that lies just beyond in the atrium and subsequent outdoor patio. I was seated in the patio area and it was a beautiful bit of a mirage that felt like a magical little courtyard in a hacienda in Central America.
The staff, while friendly, were not as attentive as one would have hoped and the wait to be seated, place orders and receive orders was a bit extensive. That said the drinks and food that finally followed were elevated and worth the wait!
I began my meal with a Spicy Margarita with Tajin and lime that was both refreshing and bright on a steamy summer day.
I ordered the Esquites as an appetizer. The brilliant mix of charred corn, pepitas, mint, cotija cheese and cumin dressing tasted like the essence of summer with brilliantly balanced and authentic flavors that were both indulgent and satisfying.
For my entree, I decided on the Shrimp Tacos and opted out of the avocado, chipotle cream with which they are customarily served. The tortillas are among the absolute best I have had and the shrimp was perfectly seasoned and cooked! Unlike the traditionally heavy serving of refried beans, they offered a thin layer that provided the flavor without the weight. I chose to add a bit of my Esquites to the tacos and it proved to be a deliciously wise choice. The marriage of flavors was divine
Last, I couldn’t resist the promise of the Little Piece of Brazil dessert. This succulent Yuca Coconut cake topped with whipped cream and lime zest was delicate, complex and unique. The yuca creates a surprisingly light background from which the abundant coconut flavor bursts. The creamy homemade whip and lime zest balance the rich coconut flavor to create an inspiring flavor profile unlike any dessert I’ve had to date .
Colonia Verde offers next level mastery of latin flavors and, if you can be patient with the slightly lackadaisical service, it should definitely make your must try list the next time you are in Fort Greene.

1. this place is awesome. perfect atmosphere amazing staff, great menu. i’ve been meaning to come for years after living in the neighborhood, and as a solo diner did not disappoint
2. please please please I am asking the kitchen to destem the cilantro garnishes. i truly feel that biting into the bitter stringy cilantro stems in every dish did almost ruin the experience for me. I would just love the see those stems off the plate.

A lovely way to celebrate a friend for birthday dinner. The sausage platter appetizer was a rip-roaring start to the meal and the poblano pepper pasta was a sleeper hit in my book. And even with full bellies, I’m so glad we didn’t miss out on the Brooklyn Mess.
