The 14 best cheap eats in Quindio Department

Really good drinks and food, suuuper big quantities for the price it costs! A bit slower cooking one of the dishes but they compensated with a free beer🤗 thanks a lot, will definitely come back.

Great restaurant any time of day..huge variety in the menu. Fair price for the amount of food you get. My boyfriend got nachos for one and it was a huge portions. I ordered a sandwich and chips and could to finish it, which is never a bad complaint. You can ask them to tailor the portions, which we found out after.

What an experience! Tasty and HUGE portions. Great coffee. Friendly staff. They even gave us an extra portion of fries when we couldn't even finish our exceptional meals. Would recommend, might seem pricey but the food is good and plentiful.

After spending a week eating at this restaurant nearly every day, we were blown away by the delicious food and generous portions. Before our hiking trips, we grabbed lunch packs from here, which were absolutely perfect for our activities. Almost everything served is homemade, and you can really tell there's a lot of love put into the details. Highly recommend!

Hands down one of the best brunch spots I’ve ever been to! The food was absolutely incredible – every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully put together. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier; so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely accommodating, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell they care about their customers. The vibe is relaxed but lively, making it the perfect place to start your day. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I’d 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch brunch.

Great place to go for breakfast before your hike in the Valle de Cocora. We arrived a little after they opened at 6am and there were several hiking groups of foreigners getting breakfast in preparation. The business knows their audence well and the menu had American style breakfasts with a twist of adding energy for the hike, like peanut butter on the pancakes. The food was good and the restaurant looks like a friendly community-oriented hostel, keeping with the young hiking vibe. Everything was reasonably priced and the waiter was speaking very good English with the other tables. The restaurant offers pack lunches to take with you to eat during the hike (or if you have a long bus ride ahead of you) and we ordered a couple. They came with a sandwich, granola, banana, among other foods, and was tasty and super convienent for the trek. They also put in an inspiring message keeping with the vibe. I fully recommend Brunch or Salento as a one-stop restaurant for breakfast and lunch if you are doing the Valle de Cocora hike.

Excellent food and incredibly friendly and hospitable staff, who will take the time to give you an overview of the different activities and hiking routes around Salento (they have maps painted on their walls and use a laser pointer to talk you through it!). If you’re planning on doing day hikes they also sell lunch packs for 20K to save you the hassle of packing your own lunch!

This is a nice restaurant just off the main square in Salento. Very interesting decor! The food and service was good, and portions were quite large. We wanted something local for our last dinner in Salento and this place did not disappoint! Would definitely recommend if you happen to be in the area.

It’s fair to say that we’re all disappointed afterwards. Although we understood that the place was packed in the end of the night and also with so many tables walking in in the same time, there’s no excuses for the food to be delivered with no quality standards as well as for the many dishes we’re not served. There was not a single dish that was spotted as good. Also, they are so limited on drinks availability. For instance, if you like cocktails don’t even bother to come here. The wine list is ridiculous to the least acceptable standard. Overall, it’s a big no coming back.

I ordered a BBQ rib and got a chewy piece of pork being far from what was presented in the menu. I ate the cold patato that came with the meal and a little bit of the meat but that's it. I'm not sure how could this restaurant could be rated 4.5 stars. Other plates were ok at best and the service none existing.

This is one of the best traditional restaurants in Salento. Only the de orations on the inside make it worth a visit. The whole restaurant is filled with all kinds of decorations and colours. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The food arrived very quickly. It was delicious, we tried the local specialties and we were not disappointed. Everything tasted fresh and eating here was a great experience. If you want to try some local food in Salento this is the spot!

Everything was good the steak was at its point. They're were different plates of trout and you should try the mazamorra and the warm fruit drink.

We had a lovely traditional meal called Bandeja Paisa and it was delicious. Atmosphere is great! A must not miss on your trip to Salento.

It was a mediocre start to our stay in Salento. The bandeja paisa was tasty, but I found the trout to be complicated to eat, full of fish bones. Apparently that's normal, so perhaps it's just my preference. The giant patacones and hogao were delicious. Overall a decent meal, but nothing to write home about.

It's incredible that there still is just an authentically local place in such a touristy area. 18k COP for a whole meal, with soup as appetizer, a whole bunch of things in the main dish (including meat of your choice, or the vegetarian option), and a beverage. Suepr tasty food, and the place is packed with locals so you know it's definitely fair-priced.

A cozy place with very friendly staff. The atmosphere gives it like youre eating a home cooked meal. The only option is the daily menu which gives it a less mass produced feeling. Also very affordable and great portions! Would recommend!

A beautiful a cozy little restaurant. The service was great and the food was even better! Also great value for money. I got the grilled chicken breast with beans and the dish came with complimentary soup and juice. It was very quiet so definitely give these guys some more love.

My girlfriend and I had a great experience of authentic colombian dishes at a very fair price. The service was wonderful, they are super nice.

A fairly good menu Almuzero. The food is not as good as a local market elsewhere In the country. Appears to be the best value Almuzero in town at 18,000 pesos.

What a beautiful restaurant. Went there 3 times in 4 days and loved it. Kind staff. Kind chef. Food is really delicious and in terms of time, it cannot be any faster.

This was probably one of the best places to eat in Salento! Extremely reasonable prices, the food is beyond delicious, has veggie options, service is second to none and hygiene is immaculate! Easy to miss but highly recommended!

The food here was amazing. Sad we only discovered it on our last night. Such a nice way to experience Latin American cuisine. Staff were amazing as well. We had such a lovely waitress who gave us recommendations and tips on what to get and they all delivered hugely. I nearly had to be rolled out I ate so much… Give it a go

Food was really good. I got the tradicional beef plate, full of flavor! Beef was a bit chewy, still delicious though. My partner got the vegetarian fusion plate and that was also delicious. We split the soup and each got a jugo fresco. We will definitely visit again in the future when we come back to Salento!

This restaurant is a must-visit! The menu has a wide variety of options that cater to everyone, whether you’re a vegetarian or a meat lover. The portions are generous, and each dish is packed with flavor – you can really taste the creativity and originality in their recipes. The drinks are just as delicious and pair perfectly with the meals. To top it all off, the staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you step in. Highly recommend for a fantastic dining experience!

Food is amazing especially the Venezualian specialties. We spoke with one of the waitresses and she was so kind and helpful. She gave us some tips of where to go in Medellin and Bogota. Amazing experience 😊

I ate the Pabellón Criollo and it was absolutely perfect! Wholesome, hearty food and a beautiful way to finish off a great day in Salento. Would 100% recommend!

It was amazing, and the food was truly unique—something I had never tried before. I can highly recommend this place! :)

Delicious dinner, we had the beef and chicken and was unreal. Drinks were also off the charts. All for very reasonable price.

We liked the vibe of this place. Laid back and relaxed. Tasty burgers here. They have good veggie options too. The service was good and we didnt have to wait long for our food. Good value for money. Can get a burger, chips and soda combo for 33,000 COP.

I have eaten burgers in many places in EEUU, Mexico & even Peru, & trust me, these right here are worth it every penny (even though the price is pretty good). The service is great. & the place is so chill & comfortable, for friends, couples & even family.

I found this place just walking & looking for another restaurant that was closed. Service was fast and they have really good hamburgers. The plates are empty because it was that good. Combos were well worth the 35-40,000 pesos

We stopped in here because of the positive reviews and we were not disappointed. They have a good range on the menu and I was glad to see multiple vegetarian options. The burgers were good, the blue cheese sauce was really strong. They have a good range of bottled beers and they make their own kombucha. The price was pretty good, especially for a very touristy area.

My friends and I came here for their happy hour, thinking we would be here for about 1 hour. We had such a good time that we ended up spending the whole night here. The drinks were amazing. Andres Felipe and Tarmalys really took care of us in every respect. It felt like we had known them for a long time. We loved the atmosphere and would definitely recommend everyone to stop here. Ps: if I was the owner, I would give them a raise ;)

I’m a lifelong vegetarian and I ate beef for the first time today due to the restaurant messing up my order, despite the fact I said the name of the burger and pointed to it under the vegetarian section of the menu. While I understand how the mistake was made as there is a meat burger with the same toppings, it had a different name and ultimately the staff should have been paying more attention when I ordered. When they realised I was clearly really upset and they changed the burger and apologised, but still charged us full price for everything and added service on the bill! We refused to pay the service. The food was eventually good (although I didn’t have much appetite by then) but I think they need to be more attentive and change the format of their menu to ensure mistakes like this don’t happen again.

Was nice here! I had a falafel burger which was ok and the fries were not too well done. It’s nice but not amazing.

Absolutely love this restaurant. Been here twice already and will be back before I leave Salento! I had the Buddha bowl and the Thai Soup (which is kinda more like a curry). Such a great option for a vegetarian to get some protein 🥗 Really recommend. Fresh and great flavours ✨

We had lunch twice at this spot in Salento at we really loved it. It is a small restaurant at the edge of the town. They serve mostly healthy western food and vegan options. They have seating both inside and outside. The staff is very friendly, you place your orders at the counter. The food and drinks they serve are very good. Everything tastes fresh and the portions are good. The prices are also very reasonable. We can certainly recommend this place if you are craving some healthy food!

So great to have a fully vegan restaurant in Salento! We went back twice because we loved it so much. Lots of vegetables and some interesting flavours. Highly recommend.

We were in the mood for some vegetarian food and we though of this restaurant. This was our first time here and the food was so delicious and good Asian fusion let alone vegan/vegetarian is not so easy to find - so we were very pleased! We also tried the mango sticky rice and it was very good! Their service was excellent as well. Highly recommend it and we will definitely be coming back!!

Went here twice during our time in Salento. The Buddha bowl, pad Thai, and smoothies are so good. Highly recommend if you’re looking for some healthy food options in Salento!

I'm not someone who usually gets excited about salads, but this vegan spot in Salento completely changed my mind. Their salad was bursting with flavor—fresh, vibrant, and so well-seasoned it felt like a main course, not a side dish. And the Buddha bowl? Absolutely phenomenal. Perfectly balanced with grains, veggies, and a rich, creamy dressing that tied everything together. If you're in Salento and think vegan food is just boring greens, this place will prove you wrong.

We had a great experience here! Delicious food, friendly service, and a really nice atmosphere. It was a pleasure to sit and enjoy – we’ll definitely come back!

Says best hamburger in Armenia. She wasn't lyin'.

Nice food very health oriented cuisine

(Translated by Google) The burgers are delicious and not very expensive, the fries are delicious, the only bad thing is that sometimes it takes a long time to bring the food, but I highly recommend if you are looking to try a good, nice and cheap burger. (Original) Las hamburguesas son deliciosas y no muy costosas, las papas fritas con riquísimas, lo único malo son que a veces se demora bastante en traer la comida, pero recomiendo mucho si buscas conocer una hamburguesa buena, bonita y barata.

(Translated by Google) The Burger Master burger was delicious, fresh; I ordered it as a combo, that is, a drink plus potatoes, but I regretted it, the potatoes were cold and the portion was very small. The attention leaves a lot to be desired, it reflects preferences because some people bring it to the table and others don't, they serve eagerly, as if they were only interested in receiving the $ and what to say if you want an explanation, they answer with indifference (Original) La hamburguesa del Burguer Máster estaba rica, fresca; la pedí en combo es decir, bebida más papas pero me arrepentí, las papas estaban frías y la porcion muy pequeña. La atención deja mucho que desear, refleja preferencias porque algunas personas le llevan a la mesa y a otras no, atienden de afán, como si sólo les interesara recibir el $ y que decir si quieres una explicación contestan con indiferencia

(Translated by Google) I recommend trying the burgers, they are delicious, the service is very good. French fries deli. The sauce is super. (Original) Les recomiendo probar las hamburguesas son ricas, el servicio es muy bueno. Las papas francesas deli. La salsa super.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant in the Jardín Bolivar shopping center, very varied menu and excellent service, I loved the burger 🍔 that participated in the master burger 2019, highly recommended, excellent service. (Original) Restaurante en el centro comercial Jardín Bolivar, carta muy variada y excelente atención, me encantó la hamburguesa 🍔 que participó en el master burger 2019 súper recomendó, excelente servicio.

(Translated by Google) Delicious artisanal burgers are pleasantly served for customer enjoyment. Don't forget to order the house cake and delicious lunches from Monday to Saturday. (Original) Deliciosas hamburguesas artesanales agradablemente servidas para el disfrute del cliente, no olvide pedir la torta de la casa y los deliciosos almuerzos de Lunes a Sábado.

The place is easy to get to and has packing available right under it, the only problem I could observe is that is not hándicap available, unless you walk in there is no way you can go in , and to get a sit again... you have to go the stains ( too many and steep), leaving you with just one option to sit in a very uncomfortable table right at the entrance of the place next to a clinic , and people from the clinic enter the restaurant bathrooms nwhich doesn't make it very hygienic, hence I did not enjoy the pizza

Very delicious pizza. Probably one of the best five pizza places in Armenia. My pizza was delivered quickly.

Better than in the USA! Loved it

Worst pizza in town don’t go there serve only pizza with two small pieces of chicken and mushroom by slice too much money is rip off

Just pizza as usual but every time they are closing (30 minutes before time), they just sell you to table...

Place is really nice and clean. Second floor is gorgeous and big to bring nice group to dine in.

Best Pizza in the city bar none.

The food never arrived and they didn't give us a reason.

(Translated by Google) My family and I felt sick after eating at this place. Very bad experience, more than 40 minutes to eat a 30,000 hamburger that comes with super bad refried meat and tasteless sauces, the potatoes were fried as if in car oil, looking like they were overheated. We came home with stomach pain and reflux, apparently due to the poor quality of the oil in the kitchen or the origin of the meat. Not recommended at all. (Original) Mi familia y yo nos sentimos enfermos luego de comer en este sitio. Muy mala experiencia, más de 40 min para poder comer una hamburguesa de 30.000 que viene con una carne refrita súper maluca y salsas insípidas, las papas estaban fritas como en aceite de carro, con aspecto de estar recalentadas. Llegamos a casa con dolor de estómago y reflujo, al parecer por la mala calidad del aceite en la cocina o el origen de la carne. Para nada recomendado.

(Translated by Google) The service isn't bad, it's just vile, and don't even mention the food. I got paper in my burger, I complained, and they can't even offer an apology. If you have the chance to go to this place, DON'T go. (Original) La atención no es mala, es perversa y ni hablar de la comida. Me salió papel en mi hamburguesa hice reclamo y nisiquiera una disculpa son capaz de ofrecer. Si tienen la oportunidad de ir a este lugar NO vayan.

(Translated by Google) Good atmosphere to spend a pleasant time with family and friends, you can take your dog with you just to breathe fresh air and be in a quiet place away from the city, you can book for a special occasion, their prices are somewhat expensive but for the site and the attention is good. (Original) Buen ambiente para pasar un rato agradable con la familia y amigos, se puede llevar a tu perrito contigo apenas para respirar aire puro y estar en un lugar tranquilo alejado de la ciudad, puedes reservar para alguna ocasión especial, sus precios son un tanto costosos pero por el sitio y la atención está bien.

(Translated by Google) The place is extremely beautiful, at night it seems magical, for the prices they charge the food is good, the service can improve, they bring you the dishes and simply put them on the table and everyone takes the one that corresponds to them, the way of ordering is also particular, you write everything down on a sheet where all the dishes are. To go to the place you must have your own transportation, because the entrance is uncovered and approximately 500 meters from the main road, so if you go at night and you go by flatbed car you will get caught because at night it is quite dark. In general terms it is a good place, better to go during the day if you do not have your own vehicle. (Original) El lugar es extremadamente bonito, de noche parece magico, por los precios que manejan la comida es buena, el servicio puede mejorar, te llevan los platos y simplemente los ponen en la mesa y que cada quien coja el que le corresponde, la forma de pedir tambien es particular, anotas todo en una hoja donde estan todos los platos. Para ir al lugar si o si debes tener transporte propio, por que la entrada es destapada y a 500 mt aprox de la via principal, entonces si vas de noche y vas en carro de plataforma te enbalas por que de noche es bastante tenebroso. Enterminos generales es un buen lugar, mejor ir de dia si no tienes vehiculo propio.

(Translated by Google) Bad service, a week ago I went with my partner and companions and the woman who served us said that there was a birthday, that if we wanted to wait for the food she would serve us When we asked him more or less the waiting time, he told us that there was no time limit that problems could arise in the kitchen and more, so there was no time if we wanted to wait like that or leave. I was going for an advertisement that I saw, but with the attention provided, I didn't even want to wait. I don't recommend it at all. (Original) Mal servicio, hace una semana fui con mi pareja y acompañantes y la mujer que nos atendio dijo que habia un cumpleaños, que si queriamos esperar la comida nos atendia Al preguntarle mas o menos el tiempo de espera, nos dijo que no habia tiempo limite que podian surgir problemas en cocina y de mas asi que no habia un tiempo que si queriamos esperaramos asi o que nos fueramos Iba por una publicidad que vi, pero con la atencion brindada no dieron ganas ni de esperar no lo recomiendo en lo absoluto

(Translated by Google) We were really looking forward to going, it was a special day. We arrived and ordered two burgers, but they didn't have any meat 😂. They recommended the seasonal burger, which was made with shredded beef and was extremely salty. The fries were very strange, as if they were old and had been refried... what a disappointment because it's not cheap, nothing like that. Don't go. (Original) Teníamos muchas ganas de ir era un día especial, llegamos pedimos dos hamburguesas pero no tenían carne 😂, nos recomendaron la de la temporada que era con carne despechada y estaba extremadamente salada, las papás estaba. Muy raras, como si fueran viejas y las hubiesen refritado.... que decepción porque no es barato nada que ver no vayan.

Nice and tasty

(Translated by Google) That man is a capo, he works alone and attends very well and the taste is very, very good and the price is unbeatable.... One of the best places in terms of value - quality that I've been to for pizzas... Successes (Original) Ese man es un capo, trabaja solo y atiende super bien y el sabor muy muy bueno y el precio inmejorable.... De los mejores sitios en cuanto a valor - calidad que he ido de pizzas... Éxitos

(Translated by Google) The service in the place is terrible, we ordered a hamburger and a sandwich with chicken and mushrooms, it took more than an hour to give us the order, we had to insist three times for them to advance our order, the service was terrible, apart from this We asked for the hamburger without sauces, and they gave it to us with all the sauces, we asked for a portion of potatoes, which didn't come until we insisted on egg, the sandwich was completely burned so it was returned, I wouldn't return to this place, how sad that leave this image on the tourists. (Original) Es pésimo el servicio en el lugar, pedimos una hamburguesa y un sándwich con pollo y champiñones, se demoraron más de una hora en darnos el pedido, nos tocó insistir tres veces para que nos adelantaran el pedido, la atención fue pésima, aparte de esto, pedimos la hamburguesa sin salsas, y nos la dieron con todas las salsas, pedimos una porción de papas, la cual no llegó hasta insistir de huevo, el sandwiche estaba quemado completamente por lo que se devolvió, no volvería a este lugar, que triste que dejen esta imagen en los turistas.
