Casa Mateo Fonda Bar offers a lively Colombian atmosphere with music that creates a fun environment. The food has received mixed reviews—some customers enjoyed the delicious rib sancocho, while others felt the meat was a bit dry and lacked Colombian flavor. The portion sizes are considered normal, but the prices are seen as a bit high. The service can be inconsistent; some customers found the staff attentive and friendly, especially when serving highly packed protein plates and cheese bread, while others experienced poor treatment, such as being removed from tables without notice and having tips added automatically. Overall, the restaurant provides a cool, quiet ambiance, and some customers are willing to return to try other dishes, though others may hesitate due to the high prices and service issues. The taste of the food often transports guests to Colombia, with dishes like the snack for two, which is enough for four, and the chocolate arepa. Parking is available in front of the restaurant.
