Had the Carne Campesina, which in the pictures may look a little more like a flank but it’s definitely not steak it’s beef stew which is fine but it was... read more very tough and dry. It was also very salty which led me to believe between the toughness and saltiness that the food wasn’t made fresh. Layout or experience also wasn’t anything special so I probably wouldn’t return.

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.

Service is declining on what it used to be. We have been going there for years and this was the first time the attention was lacking. New personel is not... read more attentive to the clients.

Don Jacintho is a must do when going for lunch. They have lunch specials which are a great deal. The service was great.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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....

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.
