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.

  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.

  Let me start by saying out apitizers tasting like it was burned the patacon with cheese was like reheated in the microwave..the bandeja paisas didnt have any taste so basicly... read more stay away theres alot more places that serve better food on aruba.

  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!

  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

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

  The food was okay. Grilled meat with large portions but nothing special flavor wise. We ordered two entrees, but I think we could have just shared one. The service was... read more friendly and prompt.

  The food was so amazing and the passion fruit cocktail was so good that you just want more.... we had Geraldine as our waitress and she made the night awesome... read more with her great energy and sales skills and great recommendations.

  I ate there recently with a couple of friends and I have to say that the service that we received from a server called Dwight Maduro was absolutely perfect. For... read more example the way he approached the table, the way he stands and holds the tray and takes his orders very professional. He can work at any other and better restaurants on the island. The food was delicious and on time. One advice I can give the owners is that if they can hire more servers that can do the job like Dwight smile like him and that can speak english at least basic...This place will rock.
