I went there today at 7.18 pm with my family of 5 peopke and left the restaurant at 7.45 pm! Within these 27 minutes, not a single person came to... read more us to take order! They didn't bring glass or water nothing. After 27 minutes of waiting, we decided to leave the restaurant and no one even asked us that why we are leaving, never saw such a bad service ever. I wish I can give them less than one star, it was my daughter's birthday and they ruined it completely.

Deliciosa comida colombiana. Buena ambientación del lugar. Excelente atención. Menú del día a buen precio, $8 dolares, incluye vaso de agua al llegar, sopa, plato fuerte y bebida. Muy recomendado.

Bad service, worse restaurant in Aruba If you are not Colombian looking then visist Don Jacinto to get discriminated. First time we entered this restaurant, nothing is asked besides... read more “how many people”, while I had a online reservation already. We all sat on super uncomfortable chairs, 2 uneven tables were pushed to accomodate us plus we waited 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 as we were with kids and they were hungry. Nobody from the restaurant was interested in the reason leaving, so they dont even are willing to improve! They were just standing and watching. In any other restaurant in Aruba you get attended and welcomed at least with water which is for free especially when you enter with children. But this restuarant will never see us nor will I ever recommend to anyone!

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.

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.

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.
