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.

  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.

  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!

  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.

  Don Jacinto’s was a few minutes walk from my AIRBNB villa and came highly recommended by the owner. The irony was that I’d almost travelled to Colombia instead of Aruba... read more but found a much cheaper flight to Aruba. I already love Colombian food, but let me tell you...the empanadas were the best I’ve ever had!!! And their spicy sauce was magnificent!! Everything was very reasonably priced...will definitely go back every time I’m in Aruba!

  we have driven by this place a million times and never stopped in......well.....we finally made it and it was an excellent meal
we were wondering why we hadnt stopped in... read more earlier in our yearly visits to this one happy island

menu choices were extensive....and tough to decide what to order...it is all so good

we went with a steak off the grill and weren't disappointed....plenty of sides and
we were able to share one meal and still be stuffed

service is fast and friendly and we really enjoyed our meal here

  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....

  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!

  The food, service and atmosphere was truly amazing. Everything was seasoned perfectly!! Will go again!!
