Ajiaco Colombian Bistro - Albuquerque

Took 40 minutes to receive drinks. Got our appetizers before our drinks. I noticed this is an issue here. Never got checked up on when’s e got out food or if we wanted dessert. Very disappointed in the service. I get it’s busy and it can get overwhelming, but service is important in restaurants.

The empanadas are amazing. The arroz con pollo is amazing. Arepas are wonderful. Nothing was a miss. Authentic and fresh is still true here. Staff is friendly and efficient. It is small and a tight squeeze, but the cafe feel is still nice. We recommend it highly. Parking: Very little parking on narrow streets.

We waited a really, really long time for the server to come over to our table to order anything. It wasn’t busy at all. Then our food took a really, really long time to arrive, but it was worth the wait. The empanadas were delicious. The smashed plantain appetizer was delicious. I had the carne con arepa and it was good, but I’ve had better chimichurri sauce. My friend had the pollo a la plancha and he also thought it was good, not great. The empanadas, yucca fries, and plantains stole the show. I’ll go back just for those. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

It's nice to find a different style of Latin food in town. The ability to sample a bunch of different things is great for first timers at a Colombian restaurant and the food will not disappoint!
