Excellent place with delicious, fresh food. We go all the time, the quality is consistent with competitive prices.
We usually order the lunch special (steak) and portions are unbelievable. Real food for a great price. Truly a gem in the area. Staff is always helpful, kind and bilingual.
The only thing to complain is not about the restaurant per se, but sometimes the crowds are very, extremely noisy.

The food at this restaurant is genuinely delicious — the flavor of the chicken is outstanding, and the in-house dining experience has always been great. However, I’ve noticed a big difference when ordering to-go. When you dine in, the chicken portions are generous and well worth the price, but when you order takeout, the chicken is noticeably smaller — almost half the size. Paying $27 for a whole chicken and receiving one that looks more like a half or even smaller is quite disappointing.
I really hope the restaurant can keep the same quality and portion sizes for takeout orders as they do for dine-in. The food is excellent, but consistency is important, especially at that price point.

Food was delicious. The #15 platter had a great variety. I haven’t been to many places that have a whole rabbit, BTW it was crispy n to much to eat with all the sides. Beef empanada eat better than chicken. Would go back to try other items.

This place is great and the steak and chicken always contain so much flavor!! I also love their empanadas and arepas.
I love coming here for lunch.

excellent authentic colombian food — what a treat. the empanadas were delicious, we liked the beef ones the best. the lunch specials are great value — the grilled chicken is generous and marinated. the juices are very good as well. it’s a bit warm in the restaurant in the summer. the arepas are nearly totally queso – very rich. we will be back for sure

About six months ago, we were driving north on Central and came to stop at the Lawrence Ave stop light. As we waited for the light to change, we were treated to a wonderfully savory smell of a meat grilling on an open flame. At first, I thought it was backyard BBQ but then realized it was coming from the corner restaurant El Asadero Colombiano. Last week, we made it back there to try it. What a find! The waitstaff was friendly and patient with our English and broken Spanish. One of my dinner companions ordered the Morcilla Columbiana (blood sausage) as an appetizer. I was hesitant, but it turns out we have a very similar dish in Polish food called Kishka. My husband and I split the Bandeja Paisa plate – charbroiled steak, Sausage (chorizo), pork skin (chicharrón), egg, sweet plantain, fried plantain, corn pancake, avocado, and white rice. My other dining partner ordered Mojarra Frita – whole fried silver fish. I never heard of silver fish, but it was light and flaky. It is served whole so it may put off some and you have to be careful with the bones as you have to de-bone it. Friendly diners from a neighboring table suggested we come back for the Pechuga al Allijo (chicken breast with garlic). Another friendly neighboring table told us how they have been coming here for years. Everyone was so friendly and the food was so good we have to return! The only caution is I ordered a Coke, I am so used to the free refills, but this restaurant only servers cans @ $2.50 each. We added $10 to our bill with just soda pop!

My dinner was Excellent. I had the pork chops. They had a great grill and seasoned flavor. I love how the meal came with multiple sides. A potato, sweet plantain, rice and cassava. They have Coke products and it is in a can. Very clean and friendly place. I Definitely will be back.

The food was not as good as expected. Our first time at this “new” Colombian restaurant and I was very dessapointed. The churrasco meat was hard to chew and the pollo asado was dry. It seems they use wood for the rotisserie chicken but that’s about it as the chicken lacked seasoning and it was dry. The 1 fried plantain I’ve got with my Sobrebarriga Dorada was saggy and also the meat was hard to chew. (Sobrebarriga is not an easy dish to cook and not many restaurants get it right).
Very overpriced menu, they will automatically charge a %18 tip if you go with a party of 5 or more and they’ll charge you a %4 fee if you pay using Debit or a CC.
The waitress was not polite at all, kind of rude when taking our orders and she took forever to bring a side order of beans. The best thing we had were the Maracuya and Lulo juices in water they were very good and the yuca and the empanadas were also very good.
No Colombian ají sauce they only give you Mexican salsa verde ♂️
As far as the restaurant aesthetics, the tables were old, the floor uneven and the walls don’t have the typical decorations nice Colombian restaurants have. Whoever gives this place a 5 star rating has never been to a good Colombian restaurant and don’t know what a real Churrasco and good pollo asado taste like!
Advice to the owner: If you want to attract new customers and grow your business, get a better cook (so you can justify the high prices) and also re-train your waitresses because some are rude to customers.

Very good rotisserie chicken and sides. Rice and beans were very good and large portions for the price! I really like their green salsa and use tons of it while eating the chicken. I’d recommend getting extra. Empanadas were solid too, the beef was better than the chicken though. Very fast service.

Ordered online to go and got an incorrect order and a nearly inedible meal. Ordered at 3:30pm on a Monday.
Main- Garlic Snapper, it was so very dry and overcooked. Skin was rubbery.
Get extra garlic- you’ll want to dip the meat.
Ordered a side salsa and got 3, so unless you want extra it already comes with. And a ketchup.
Fries and yucca were cold and old. Inedible. Oil tasted old or they’d been sitting under a heat lamp. Bummer.
Whatever round things came with it was just hard cold fried crust. Idk what it was but I didn’t eat it.
Side salad is watery wet chopped iceberg.
Ordered vanilla flan, got caramel instead, size is as big as my earbud case
Figs w caramel are good
Guayabana agua Fresca was as thick as a milk shake.
Not impressed
I don’t think I’ll be back
