Food wasnβt good .

-When you first walk in, there is an off-putting smell. The tables are sticky and feel unclean.
-The red beans had no salt and lacked flavor.

Today was my 2nd time going to la boina roja, i went with my gf 2 years ago and i recall never asking for a refill on water. we had to ask twice, the waiters where on their phones and were not attentive.

La Boina Roja π¨π΄ is a restaurant that offers a variety of Colombian dishes in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Many diners praise the food for its freshness and flavor, highlighting dishes like Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes, chicken in mushroom sauce, and tostones, which are described as the best ever tried. The portions are generous, and the food generally receives high marks for taste and presentation. The steak, when cooked to the requested temperature, is enjoyed for its freshness, though some find the seasoning could be improved. The shrimp and guacamole are also appreciated for their quality.
The service has received mixed reviews. Some customers commend the staff for being attentive, patient, and friendly, especially mentioning a head waitressβs excellent service. However, others report inattentive waitstaff who were on their phones and unresponsive, leading to disappointment. One common concern is the lack of communication about policies and charges. Several reviews mention that the restaurant is cash-only, a detail not clearly disclosed, and that a 20% tip was automatically added to the bill without prior notice. Additionally, charging for to-go containers was a surprise to some guests, which many consider unfair after a substantial meal.
The restaurant's ambiance is described as relaxed, with some suggesting that light music would enhance the atmosphere. Despite some cleanliness issues, such as sticky tables, the overall experience varies based on individual visits. La Boina Roja remains a popular choice for authentic Colombian cuisine, but recent experiences suggest that improvements in service, cleanliness, and transparency could make it a more consistent dining destination.
