If you are not Colombian looking then visit Don Jacinto to get discriminated. First time entered this restaurant, nothing is asked besides “how many people”, while I had a online... read more reservation. We all sat on super uncomfortable chairs, 2 uneven tables were pushed to accomodate us plus we wait half hour and still no sign of a waiter I saw 2 groups entering some time after us and within 5 min the waiters were attending them, bringing water. We left and nobody was interested in the reason leaving, so they dont even are willing to improve! I was with kids, and any other restaurant in Aruba you get attended and welcomed at least with water which is for free!

  Our first time having Columbian food - and we absolutely loved it. It was delicious. I would love to share which dish I had, but cannot get the menu to... read more pull up on their website. Very good - fresh, just delicious. Was like a stew with tomatoes and green peppers and then rice and arepas on the side - hoping to find something similar here at home... SO GOOD!

  No one we talked to cabbies, hotel personnel, other guests had been to this restaurant; made us a bit nervous. One comment was “that’s Colombian, isn’t it?” Yes... read more indeed it IS Colombian and well worth a visit. Not visited by many “tourists” by the looks we got when we arrived. Or maybe it was because we were a pair of octogenarians! Anyway, the reception was great, the tables and chairs a bit hard, but the warmth of the server, the quality of the drinks and food made up for the lack of sophisticated environment. It was truly authentic. My seafood ceviche was lovely and the red snapper (head on) was fantastic. The margaritas to start were fresh, tart and strong. The wine was a Pinot Gris and it was crisp, flowery and cold.

No, it was not on the water. No, it did not exude a great deal of wealthy encountrements, but the food, drinks and staff were incredible good. A great find.

  My wife and I wanted authentic Colombian food. I had the Bandeja Paisa which includes rice, beans, chorizo, pork rinds, Colombian-style ground beef, a fried egg, avocado, plantain slices and... read more arepa. It was delicious. The wife had Grouper a la plancha which was also yummy. The waitstaff was good and the price can't be beaten. For the meals, drinks and a tip, I paid 77.50 Aruban Florins.

  Food was decent, but the service was lacking. I don't know if our waiter was in a bad mood or something be he didn't even check if we were doing... read more ok. He just gave us our food/drinks and left. Didn't even introduce himself. On top of that we kept saying "happy birthday" to my father and he didn't even bother to say happy birthday to him.

  To describe this place is very affordable and good food. This colombian restaurant has a little bit of everything, music, great food, and the staff was attending. We liked it... read more so much we came here 3 times. By the way they don't open for breakfast. It open at 11AM. But we still enjoy the food we get the Bandera paisa. 3 glasses of wine my wife got tge same and dessert, about $60. Very cheap. We had gone to another place but food was horrible, EL CHALAN (perubian) disgusting. We end up returning the ceviche, and the main course, wasn't all that at all.

  Always have the most delicious Sangrias in Don Jacinto. The food is spectacular. They have amazing meat dishes as well as seafood. This week Marie took great care of us... read more on each visit. The tres leches desert is sabroso. Great place!

  We went by the establishment just prior to it opening and the owner invited us in for a free cappucino and went over the menu with us.

You will enjoy yourself at this establishmeny.

  We have been going to Don Jacintos for many years and have always enjoyed our meal. Last year the food was so so. We gave it another shot this year... read more and were very disapointed. My wife's steak was tough and my fish was just so so. Service isn't what it used to be. Oh well....
