The place was clean and feels homey. I ordered the bandeja paisa pequeña. It?s always my starter dish when trying out Colombian restaurants. My food made it to my table fast and hot. I had to personally ask for the green salsa (not sure what it?s called). Will be back to try more from the menu.

The food at this restaurant is delicious and the waitstaff is beautiful. The people here are very nice. read more The food at this restaurant is delicious and the waitstaff is beautiful. The people here are very nice.

Although I don’t speak Spanish, we managed to communicate without any major issues. The food arrived quickly and was served hot. I ordered the liver and onions, which was excellently prepared. I was pleasantly surprised by how perfectly the thinly sliced liver was cooked. I’m not a fan of fried plantains, but if you enjoy bananas or sweet potatoes, you’ll likely appreciate them, as they seem to come with every meal. I deducted one star because the dessert options were limited to flan or what looked like two cookies in a cup. Overall, it was a good experience.

The empanadas have improved a lot—I had stopped coming because they used to have too much potato, but now they taste much better and are packed with meat. I love the green sauce that comes with them. For our meal, we ordered a small bandeja paisa, churrasco, and chicken tenders for my son. To drink, we had two passion fruit juices—one with water and one with milk. The one with milk was really good, but the one with water was more refreshing. The food was tasty, and we had plenty of leftovers. The only downside was the chicken tenders, which were overcooked and my son didn’t like them. The service was excellent and fast. La Olla, I’ll definitely be back for more!
