Mi Buenaventura Restaurante

The best Colombian food 😋 visit them since 20 years

Like other reviews I’ve seen, yes the food is just ok, the service is just terrible bad bad, the waitresses really don’t look like they want to work, they have attitude, they are slow. Also something else I just don’t get, is that they have an stablished schedule but they don’t honor it either. I’ve gotten there between 4pm and 4:30 pm and they will just tell you it’s closed, even the owner has refused to honor the hours. This review is honest and will not change it ,I don’t want no apology, I want great service for such expensive plates and if you close at 4 then make the change public.

If you come here, only eat FISH or SEAFOOD. DO NOT EAT THE MEAT. ALSO BE AWARE THEY CHARGE AN EXTRA $5 TO EAT SEAFOOD/FISH. Which they did not tell us until after they gave us the bill. CASH ONLY. Also the service of the staff is awful and slow. But they do have good fish. When we went at 3:30pm they barely had anything left on their menu so you will need to get there early in the morning to have all of the options.

Not a fancy restaurant/ place but their food and friendly service is a winner. Be aware this restaurant is cash only. Food was delicious !!

One of the best Colombian restaurants out there! Best part, it’s BYOB!

We had a nice time here overall. We almost couldn't come in because reservations were needed during the pandemic and we didn't know - so call ahead. The hostess was kind enough to sit us though. She also brought us a few pieces of coconut brittle - and it was so good that we bought some to take home. Our entire table (5 of us) ordered 3 fried fish dishes. The portions were huge (granted, at $30 per dish for a small, homey restaurant - they should be huge). It was enough to feed another 2 or 3 people. Each dish had about 1.5 huge fishes and we packed up exactly a plates' worth. As Colombians ourselves - the food reminded us of what we would have. It was delicious, but nothing special. Come expecting a home cooked meal and humble hospitality, complete with scratched and chipped walls and out-of-place table cloths with dressed chairs, and you'll be satisfied.

Never get disappointed!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 bomb fish!!!! We’ve been coming here ever since I was 15 years old!!!! This is the spot to go to eat the best fish in Plainfield!!!! I love it!!!! My mother enjoyed it!!! One fish for the both of us since we don’t eat a lot!!!!! God bless those hands who prepared it!!!! Good Service!!!!

I have never seen plates as big as this one. Two people can eat. That's why the prices are high. I ordered the Cazuela and 2 people ate, and we were full. I suggest to sell desserts. Not just cookies and Colombian Ice Cream.
