Food is just fine, but it’s too expensive. A smoothie for $10 is too much! Girls are too too busy to give a good service.
I have been going to Asi es Columbia for well over 20 years. Family owned/operated, they truly have the best authentic Columbian food. We moved back to the area recently and I was excited to bring my son. i lived in greenwich years ago and was introduced to ASI es Columbia by all of the Columbian girls who worked for me. I always tried whatever the lunch special was so it gave me an opportunity to try so many different dishes that I probably wouldnt order normally. Some favorites are their oxtails and the broiled fish but My all time favorite is the ‘Typical Dish of Columbia’ Bandeja Paisa which translates to Mountain plate, it literally has everything from rice, beans, chicharron, perfectly seasoned steak, plantains, mini arepa, perfectly cooked over medium egg, 1/2 an avocado. Typically Columbian restaurants have their own signature hot sauce that they serve with the plate of food for you to add as little or as much as you want, This popular typical dish is without a doubt a gluttonous amount of food and it’s only $18, that blows my mind. It could probably feed 3 people but I have been known to finish an entire plate myself (which always seem to shock whomever is present when that happens) The day I took these photos and brought my son, the owner, her daughter, her son (who my son recognized from school) and her mom were all there (i love that- 3 generations behind the counter, the daughter was writing our order and the grandmother brought my son and I special drinks (mango juice and milk blended until frothy) and then served us our dishes which my son was like overwhelmed by how much was on the plate but eagerly dove in and understood what I had been talking it up for years. When I literally ate and then wiped the plate clean with the rest of my arepa before taking the last bite… they were amazed that this petite Korean girl comes in, order the full size Bandeja Paisa and then literally finish the entire plate of food. Now mind you, this is many years later, I try to portion control but that specific day of these photos, earlier that afternoon had spent about 5 hours nonstop playing tennis without even a snack since morning.. I was so hungry and so excited that this was the day I introduced my son to Columbian food. As you can see my son had barely even started eating and my plate was literally wiped clean, I just love that dish… it literally hits every note from simple savory vs sweet, to so many different textures, freshness of the avocado breaking up the fatty fabulous deliciousness of a chicharron. The runny egg on the rice and spilling into beans and that beautiful tangy fresh hot sauce that ties it all together. I can’t do that (meaning finish an entire full size plate of food like that every time but I will fully admit it also wasn’t the first or 10th time either. It may be as more recent thing but they offer a smaller portion of the dish too for $14. I think of Columbian food as perfect simplicity… There is something about how well every component on the plate is cooked, like they maintain the integrity of each main ingredient a d then season it perfectly and let it come together on the plate for the diner to choose how they will eat it: Every bite is different when you have that many components on the plate… The crazy part, is there are no bad combinations when the food is cooked so well, For example, the rice is cooked perfectly and seasoned with just the right amount of salt and the beans are so delicious, with their big chunks of chicharron in them. The way they cut the pork for chicharron before they fry it, gives you all these tiny morsels of perfectly fried pork that is cooked around the entire bite because of how they cut it before immersing it in oil. The meal wouldn't be complete without picking out a dessert as you are getting ready to pay your check at the counter where all the Columbian postres are on display. Different types of cookies, meringues, fresh fruit turnovers and my personal favorite, homemade tres leches cake. We live so close now that my son literally requests to go there weekly.
Little family place with good food,big portions and excellent service!
