7/10We waited more than an hour for our food. We got a discount after waiting this long but it was still way too long.

7/10As always good service and food. We were 3 and went on Saturday evening and it was crowded but nice atmosphere. The only 2 thing is 1 that it was way too hot and all doors were closed and no any windows open (not sure if there are any windows to open , but they should think about this when it’s crowded for next time…). 2. All the times I’ve been there , it is strange to me that they never give you the receipt and you always have to pay directly at the cashier. Never was a problem, until yesterday that they overcharged us 7€ and we realised this after we left. All because they never give you the ticket or receipt with full description of what you ordered and prices … this is not right. They should as in any other restaurant. Next time I hope they do , otherwise I will have to pay more attention when paying , checking menu prices and details for the correct amount to pay. So you should watch out when paying too.

4.5/10The tap beer was warm. I asked for a fresher one, they changed the type of beer and it was still warm. The food is heavily fried and heavy to digest.

7.5/10The food was very nice, when it arrived. However the service was very slow and generally inattentive. It took a very long time for our mains to arrive. We had to ask several times for water. Requested condiments like ketchup never came. But the food itself was good and well prepared. The salmon was particularly nice.

5/10Nice food but some of it arrived lukewarm and almost cold. Service is ridiculously slow. We had to ask if our food was coming. Sangria tastes great though!

+1A Taste of Colombia at Salento Latino in Amsterdam Last night, a friend and I enjoyed a fantastic evening at Salento Latino in Buitenveldert. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome and relaxed, friendly service. The atmosphere was lively and inviting — definitely a good thing we reserved ahead, as the restaurant was bustling. The menu features authentic Colombian dishes, and every bite was a treat. I loved the Tequeños and the chicken-filled empanada — crispy, flavorful, and paired beautifully with fresh chimichurri. My grilled chicken main course was cooked to perfection, and the Tres Leches cake for dessert was moist, rich, and utterly delicious. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and parking is easy on the street. All in all, a wonderful night of great food, friendly faces, and vibrant ambiance. I will definitely have dinner there again . Highly recommended!

6.5/10This place was Tropico (I visited it twice before), but I tried anyway. I asked for Bandeja Paisa, my favorite, and I found it different, less amount of food and hugely expensive (24EUR). You order and pay via a QR code, which is fine, but makes this very impersonal. The rest is ok. I recommend to try.

3/10The arepas were okay however very salty. the ribs were inedible, extremely dry with just some BBQ sauce thrown in the top. tried to eat it when asking for extra sauce which didnt help and was then charged for the extra sauce. the fries were tasteless and the salade was old and lacked any dressing or flavour at all. my partner had the premium ribeye which had tons of fat in it and was barely cooked in parts. the discount was not applied to all dishes.

5.5/10The food was very disappointing for us. Dishes with plantain were very bland, we couldn’t taste any seasoning. Side salad was very minimal and the leaves were wilted. The paisa rise was too salty for our taste. On the Fork it says we have 50% discount excerpt presets and drinks. But in reality, the 50% discount only applies to main dishes.

5/10The loudest place imaginable! We had a birthday dinner for five. We walked in and no one said anything, so we politely had to track down a server to seat us. The music was so loud - I mean rave level - that we were unable to talk. It was absolutely chaotic. That would have been fine but the service - what a nightmare. We ordered the fish after some confusion - they use QR codes - and then when it never arrived, the server said we never ordered it, so we ordered it again. Four of us were done eating by the time the fish arrived (we shared our meals with the person who had none). By the time we were leaving, the music inexplicably went to a reasonable level. We wanted to love this place but alas, we're still hearing that astonishingly loud music (really, for no apparent reason) in our heads.

4/10The restaurant didn’t recognize our 50% off from the bill. After we ordered only starters when paying they said it only applies on mains (when on Fork it says 50% off a la carte). Very disappointing
