We recently saw the sign for El Pollo Rumbero and saw the fabulous reviews. We came in on a Sunday night and had such amazing food! We have now been here 5 times in 2 weeks. Absolutely love the food! Get the yucca! I love the carne asada! Their rice is excellent and the green sauce on the table is soo addictive and yummy!! Highly recommend!! They offer an extensive menu as well as excellent desserts. Family owned business, very worth the support!! Service is always top notch as well!

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! HUGE menu! Food is truly amazing! Service is incredible! The environment is happy, very friendly and if you catch them on a game-day or a birthday it's very exciting! We don't speak Spanish/Columbian but the owner does and they all make it very fun to communicate anyway. Portions are huge. I have tried maybe 7-8 different items so far and everyone of them was unique and very delicious! Just go . . . . !!! If you want authentic and unique Columbian food, don't miss this place!!!

Came in from out of town and we had a great time. The owner took pride in waiting on us and making sure we had a good experience. Food and drinks were great. Shared a drink with the owner on the way out. She is very sweet.

Visited yesterday with my family for lunch, first time trying Colombian food and it did not disappoint! We’re from Puerto Rico and were missing the Hispanic flavors, this was perfect. The service was flawless with the waitress (Karen I believe) offering spot on recommendations since we didn’t know anything. The tostones hogao are a definite must.

The food was delicious,10 out of 10, coming from a Colombian! The flavors were authentic and truly made me feel like home. I’d definitely recommend it. The mango juice was incredible too, refreshing and full of flavor.
