😠 The place didn’t have a better table for two guests than to sit in the corner of the entrance area, with two (of the four) seats designed to be on a brick wall (without cushioning). We ordered Tommy’s Margarita, which was served in a Whiskey tumbler and on the rocks - two absolute No’s. The addition... People often mention good, service, drinks, great, Mexican, Great, tacos,

    The place didn’t have a better table for two guests than to sit in the corner of the entrance area, with two (of the four) seats designed to be on a brick wall (without cushioning). We ordered Tommy’s Margarita, which was served in a Whiskey tumbler and on the rocks - two absolute No’s. The addition of Don Julio Añejo came at a price of $51k COP, which quite frankly is a joke. It’s obviously one of the priciest Tequila additions but I’ve seen great places in Colombia that priced the addition at half that mark. If you want a fine drink this isn’t the place, if your aim is to get drunk I suggest you find a more reasonably priced establishment - this one simply isn’t worth it. The waiter was kind & attentive though.

    Ambiance is lit even on a Tuesday! Music is amazing. Nachos were extra delicious! Sebas, Julian and Victor were so welcoming and attentive. They made the environment so fun for us and made us feel comfortable! Would all around recommend stopping here for sure !!!

    Excellent location in Provenza. The music was fantastic, the food was incredibly delicious, the drinks amazing, and there is a night club in the basement. This is such a cool place! Definitely will come back. The manager took care of us while we there, and showed us around. After dinner here, you can just walk outside and continue the party.

    This resturant rates highly in my minds eye on all three fronts: food, room and service. The room is lush, it has some very comfortable tables that seem to book up early. The food is very good, I prefer fish, which is difficult in Medelliń. Excellent service tambien.

    Best atmosphere in Medellin. Once you enter this place you'll feel like you're on your own little world. Music is fantastic, decoration is awesome and the food is delicious. If you're on your own you can go to have dinner at the bar :)

    Great bar and restaurant for a date or to meet with friends, I’ve come around 4 times and it’s been a good choice! service and staff are nice as well as music selection with a good range of genres and adapting to the time of day, they have a DJ during the nights. Too bad management equates loudness to fun as many places in Provenza, it’s too loud to talk comfortably! otherwise it’d be 5 stars

    The best Mexican food in poblado. I had the tortilla soup which was the best I’ve had and believe me, I am very picky with my soup. This place has better tortilla soup than Mexico. The chicken tacos were exquisite. The drinks are delicious! The music it’s great! Super fun place. Everyone should visit

    The place was nice and food was good. I was told this was Mexican food but this is not Mexican food. Food is delicious but had nothing about Mexican. This is a place to eat and drink, not to talk. The music is too loud so if you want to have conversations that will be difficult. They have their own disco and that was nice, plenty of drinks and liquor. Service was good. Place was clean.

    Great vibes and great service. We had tacos and nachos here which were very good. Great drinks selection too!

  • 5/5 Ernesto P. 1 year ago on Google
    Their plates are big and full of flavor. One of their drinks, the Jamaica Mule, is one of the best drinks I've ever had. The "crunchy" is a a quesadilla that comes out exactly the way the name suggests. They're busier during the weekends and the vibes are great since they are right at the entrance of Provenza. I went for the first time last week, and I have gone twice more since then. The music selection is typically a mix of new and old reggaeton, the crowd is young, they close late and service is great. They are a solid 9/10 compared to other options in that price range. They need more seating, but that's a compliment, and extremely common due to the foot traffic of their location. My friend didn't love the burger because of how it was cooked but said the bread and fries were really good. They should ask how one wants the burger cooked as an easy fix. Overall, I'd say stick to the authentic Mexican end of the spectrum. La Crunchy - 9/10 Chicken Elote - 8/10 Jamaica Mule - 10/10 Burger - 7/10 Al Pastor Tacos - 9/10 Ambiance - 9/10 Service - 9/10

    A full Mexican menu from the guys behind Criminal tacos further down the walking street in Provenza. I've been back several times, and it's a very authentic Mexican experience for the most part as long as you're willing to add the hot sauce yourself. Interesting cocktail options as well. I hope they add horchata soon.

    Great atmosphere in Parque de Lleras and a good Mexican restaurant. We sat outside taking in the atmosphere drinking Aquilas and cocktails with very tasty tacos. Quick and friendly service and good value for money.

    Best mexican food you can try around that area! Is a must do if you are visiting Lleras. The atmosphere is also great and the staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable as well

  • 5/5 Alice K. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the most surprising restaurants I’ve ever been to - I enjoyed it sooo much more than I expected! The service at La Bronca was probably the best service I’ve ever received. We were constantly waited on, our waters filled and the food came out FAST despite the restaurant being packed. Notable items: watermelon soda, taco appetizers and the burgers. Beautiful decor.

    If they’re going to charge $10 per cocktail in Colombia they should put a little more creativity into them than this. Ordinary at best.

  • 4/5 Sam C. 2 years ago on Google
    Same owners as criminal tacos but the burritos are not as good, and cost about 50% more. Nice vibe / seating / service but hard to justify the prices when criminal is right next door. They were super kind letting us use their outdoor seating for taco tuesday when we had a large group. Would give them another chance with a large reservation but would highly recommend going back to the drawing board on the menu here.

😠 We ordered a mixed ceviche and it was very acidic, you couldn't eat it, the presentation was terrible in a plastic cup. We paid 28,900 each and it was just onion, a small fish bite and 3 shrimp.

👍 Very nice food and very good service. It's a good restaurant for typical and authentic food, but it's a little bit pricey and the menu is rather limited.
