“ It’s inside a former gas station, so when you pass by you may not even know you did! The staff was very friendly. We ordered bandeja paisa and I got the Colombian fried rice which had all different types of Colombian meats, including Colombian sausage and chicarron. Our son, who is almost one, also enjoyed his steak and fried plantain. There is plenty of parking and there’s a ton on the menu! Definitely recommend Mi Colombia Restaurant Nashville! ”
“ I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem tucked away in a gas station. At first, I thought it might be small and the food would be just okay, but I was completely wrong. This place is truly fantastic! The employees are super friendly and genuinely eager to make sure you have a good experience. Cleanliness is really important to me, and I was impressed by how organized and spotless everything was. Now, let’s talk about the food, it's absolutely delicious! The Colombian cuisine here is a real treat. I tried the bandeja paisa, and it was amazing! The flavors were fresh and perfectly seasoned. Plus, I didn’t have to wait long for my food to arrive, which is always a plus. If you're in the mood for Colombian food, do yourself a favor and check this place out! ”
“ This place is a hidden gem of sorts (it's located inside of a gas station) but definitely worth a visit. They have a large menu and food came out delicious. It's decorated nicely on the inside as well. Only issue was the mango juice was watered down and didn't taste fresh. Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch here. ”
