I had a missing item with my pick up order and the owner refuses to credit my card. Listen to this, she said I will give it to you when you come back next time! Are you kidding me?

Definitely need to update the address, because it's no longer in the Zeppelin station. I called the number on the website, and ordered food for pickup. The person I was talking to on the phone never mentioned that they had moved. I got in my car, and drove over to the Zeppelin station only to walk in and see the stall was empty. Then I had to call again to find out that my food was in Aurora, and I was going to need to drive there to pick it up. I just burnt a quarter tank of gas to pick up a meal that was previously walking distance from my house. Both Google, and their actual website say nothing about anything having changed. Don't get me wrong the food is great, but this experience has ruined it for me.

DO NOT EAT HERE. If your colombian you will be VERY disappointed. I ordered the colombian hot dog, 1 of each empanadas, plantain arepa and 2 pan de Bonos. The hot dog was cold everything was cold but some how the bread was soggy and everything fell apart. This thing is massive and VERY messy. Impossible to eat with your hands, then your left eating bits of hot dog, Crushed chips with ketchup and mayo. There is suppose to be a pineapple jam sauce that goes with it, missing as well. The pan de bonos were burnt, had to struggle a bit to rip them apart. The empanadas were over fried , way too greasy. The aji sauce tasted like water, zero flavor. My gf seemed to like the arepa, I did not try it but honestly after paying close to $50 for "colombian" Street food and having that experience i don't think I was going to enjoy anything. It's very disappointing. As a colombian there aren't many places to enjoy the tastes of home. I will never be coming back here again.

I was really excited to try La Rola and things overall weren't bad, but I was served a tamal Santafereño that had most definitely gone bad. Good things first: their pandebono, a Colombian cheese bread made with cassava starch and cheese wasn't bad. It had the typical chewiness that makes this bread a treat to eat. Their arepa rellenas were well-made and definitely good to share. When I saw the tamal Santafereño on their menu I was really excited to try it since I'd only ever eaten it in Colombia and hadn't seen another placed that offered it. These tamales are very different from the more commonly seen Mexican tamales that are 2-3 bite-sized. Rather these tamales are about the size of a medium dinner plate and are wrapped in a banana leaves and filled with bone-in chicken legs and a variety of veggies. The one I tried I couldn't eat because it was sour, which I imagine was from the masa having gone bad. I would love to come back and give them another try--especially since they serve ajiaco, a Colombian chicken soup.

Had High Hopes, but it was not to be:As a 1st generation Colombian, I was so excited to find a good Colombian street food joint. However, this place was not it. Below is my personal review from 5 different dishesBillionaire- not bad, missing the traditional pineapple sauce (it was barely detectable) the bread was toasted which was different, one quail egg was odd for something that large. Overall 3.5 starsArepa rellena-much room for improvement. The arepa was dry, tasteless(which is not the type of arepa used for stuffed versions normally) and the stuffing was underwhelming. Quiero arepa has much better options and attention to detail.Overall 1 star.Frijolada- it was a good attempt. The chicharrón had no crunch to it, the topmost layer was missing(mostly fat), the avocado was old (hardly any green), and the ground beef was missing scallions for added flavor. Overall 2.5 starsBuñuelo- disappointed. This is the one I was looking forward to the most and unfortunately disappointed by the most. the size was hardly bigger than a golf ball (the more traditional size is at least twice as large), the dough was too salty and it also was greatly undercooked. (See picture). Overall 1 star.Pandebono- not sure what this is (see picture) the more round item on the picture is what we make traditionally at home and I am not sure what this was but it was not a pandebono. It was not very “cheesy”, it was hard and heavy, not airy. Whatever cheese was used was not the normal kind. Overall 2.5 stars.I hope this is taken as constructive feedback and not a bashing. I would love for this to become one of my favorite places to go to when I crave a quick Colombian fix. Maybe it was a bad night but missing 5 out of 5 orders is disappointing to say the least.Lastly, the service was great. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

The food was really good, especially the fried plantines.

We tried a platter w all their different empanada stuffings. The fillings were more of an overcooked and over mixed bland mush. Edible, but not Colombian.

Very pleasant folks here, but average food. Had the empanadas, my friend had the billionaire hot dog. Both just OK.

Hearty soup on a cold day. Also like how they let you mix and match empanadas
I do not recommend ordering the coconut shrimp ceviche. It cost ~$17.50 after accepting their suggested up front tip. The ceviche consisted of 5 pieces of sad shrimp and was full of large pieces of raw onion, large mint leaves with plenty of stem left, with a side of stale, unsalted potato chips. I wasn't sure how to eat most of it.

Absolutely delicious food! I highly recommend this place and prefer this place over Marias Empenadas. Great atmosphere must check out if you like an upbeat environment with many selections of food!

Not a bad experience but not amazing either. The empanadas are a bit on the small side and somewhat bland as others have stated. Also hot the Billionaires hot dog that is quite the undertaking! Kind of hard to eat with the mountains of toppings falling off. Best part was probably the quail egg placed right at the center of the dog like a prize for managing to bite all the way into the billions!

Hubbie, my daughter and I went super excited to try Colombian Food here in Colorado! So dissatisfied! Burnt bread, tuna flavor shredded chicken, old and dry sausages, bland food.. Cold Hot dog! As a plus, my husband didn’t get his sausage on his “billionaire” hot dog. They forgot to put it on it!!! My daughter ordered “papa criolla” which smell to moldy food. I ordered guava bread and it was good. Sweet plantains were yummy, probably the only thing I enjoyed from my dinner because I had to throw away most of the food. “Arroz con pollo” was sticky and bland. Yuca fries were hard to bite and the empanadas were super dry and old. I cannot imagine how this business survive and claims they are selling homemade Colombian Food! I spend more than $95 dollars and the only good things were plantains and guava bread. Super sad I cannot recommend this place to Colombian Friends or family when visiting! As a plus, the owner and the few Mexican women who are on the cashier are rude and not friendly at all. They were rude from the time we arrived to look at the menu. :(
