Flavorful food for reasonable prices with a nice ambiance to match. The portions were large and the staff was excellent! A great addition to Newport News.

First time here, ordered the patacón mixta and empanada and side of beans. Everything had great flavor I would come back and try their other dishes.

It was our first time trying Colombian food, and everything we had was delicious! Great food and awesome service. We started with the Colombian sausage and blood sausage with fried plantains which were all great. For entrees, we ordered the bandeja paisa, the salmon with seafood sauce (not pictured), and the grilled chicken in creamy sauce (pechuga ranchera). For dessert, we all shared the ensalada de frutas. Also had the coffee which was delicious as well. We asked our server for suggestions and he was very helpful and friendly. He also said they will be adding some Mexican food to the menu like tacos de birria sometime in November.

Great place, family friendly, tasty food and a really variety of dishes with all the Colombian flavor. The Bandeja paisa is totally recommended and the Patacones con Hogao are really good too. For drinks you will find the Lulo as a unique tasting beverage. Prices are affordable, the quality of food is worth your visit.
ROSA Columbian Bar & Grill is an ok place for lunch. The atmosphere is standard latino faire with slightly older tables, chairs and esthetics. However, the place is very clean and organized. Even the men's bathroom was very clean and picked up even though the sink and toilet are old. The food was good. I had the Parrillada platter with beans and french fries. Food came out very warm and with good flavor. Service was good. This is not a surprise since we were the only table seated for our after normal lunch hour meeting. Th restaurant had a few take outs / Uber Eats while we were there. Overall, good restaurant to grab lunch, and probable dinner. I'll try their steak next time.

Good food good prices. Staff very friendly. Had a nice quite
So our group with kids came to eat at this restaurant after a long day. The waitress came and and took our drinks but wasn't friendly. The worst part is that another family came 15 minutes after we did and their order was taken before ours. That was after one of the girls had told the waitress we were ready to order. I can understand if we were bad customers acting stupid why we would be treated that way but that was not the case. We only wanted to relax have a drink and spend time with kids. My friends and I definitely will not be coming back.

Excellent authentic Colombian food! Large portions and fresh ingredients. The kids especially loved the empanadas and fruit juice smoothies! The bandeja paisa was fantastic too!
We order our first order today was highly disappointed. The food was plain in flavor, under cooked, part of the order was missing. (2 cokes, received only 1) chicharrones (pork) was very under Cook, empanadas had sweet platain no meat. Arepa looked and tastes like cardboard.I will never order or would eat at this place again.
We Went to support our Latinos brothers/Sister after a long day event (a part of 5+) but our waitress had an unnecessary attitude, kept rolling her eyes at us every time we looked her way & she got the order of a smaller table orders that came in 15 min after us when we were waiting to place our food orders… so we decided to walk out bc we were there for a while & no attempt was made to place our order. I paid for our drinks & left. We will probably never go back, these people were not friendly at all

Food ✔️ Friendly staff✔️ Location ✔️Generous portions of flavorful food. “Adult beverage” was tasty and equally well-prepared. Prices are fair. Service was friendly and fast. The location is easily accessed with ample parking and it wasn’t too loud or crowded during my afternoon visit. The atmosphere doesn’t have any wow factor but it was clean; honestly I came for the food and they exceeded that expectation.

I'm not the best picture taker so I apologize for any of them being blurry. But the food was delicious and the waiter was super nice and helpful. The lemonade was great. Fantastic spot to eat.

So glad we tried this place! The frijoles were some of the best I've had, and I loved the fried plantains with the house sauce. Really charming decor. The staff is super friendly, and even the head chef took time to talk to us about ingredients so we didn't have to worry about our allergies which they all took seriously. Very kind, and the specialty items they import regularly from Colombia are great. Definitely will go back with the kids!

The food is really good, certainly authentic Colombian food. The prices are ok. The menu has a decent variety of options, though it could definitely use more typical Colombian dishes such as lengua and Igado, just to mention a couple. The service is pretty good, the staff is very friendly. The place itself is nice and clean. It has a nice and inviting atmosphere. I also gotta say that it caught my attention how impeccable the restrooms are. Most restrooms at restaurants are filthy, but the restrooms at this restaurant are pristine. Clearly, they ensure to keep the restrooms very clean at all times, and i certainly appreciate that. Overall, I had a great experience. This was my first time visiting. I definitely recommend trying out this place.
