Worst service and attitude from owner and they charge you the 18 % for a party of 5 when there's only 3 people just because the table they assigned to you has 6 seats ?

I didn't like some things, the food was delayed, the DJ never played the song we asked for, he acted crazy with the requests

The lady who served us (the owner) was super rude. He had problems with almost half of the room, even at a table they threw a drink over his feet because people treated us in a bad way, they stopped us from the chairs where we were simply because he wanted them to be missing. Two hours until closing time. And she was already doing well to almost all of us, I'm not coming back.

Nice place, small for this reason it is better to make a reservation, they do not answer if you call early but they will return your call, very good attention from the waiter and very well cooked food and good flavor and the maraculla margaritas very good.

"Sandunga Bar: Where Dishonesty Dims the Dining Experience"Allow me to share an astonishing experience at Sandunga Bar, a place that seems to believe honesty is merely an optional seasoning while imposing forced charges becomes the main course. For anyone who has been living in the Chicago area or in the United States for some time, it becomes quite evident that honest restaurants apply service charges on rare occasions, such as larger parties of six or more, or in vibrant nightclubs where a guaranteed table is provided. However, at Sandunga Bar, it feels like we've stepped into a maze designed to inflate their earnings at the expense of unsuspecting diners.During my recent visit with my family, we encountered that thorny 18% service charge yet again, even though tables were scattered around without any restrictions, and we were not a grand VIP gathering by any means. The situation took an even more bewildering turn when I decided to express my reservations about the unjustifiable charge. To my surprise, instead of acknowledging the error, the owner chose to react with threats and expelled us from the establishment, demanding that we never return. What a way to treat customers who dare to share their perspective!While the ambiance of the place does have its charm, the scent of dishonesty permeates everything at Sandunga Bar. It appears they've forgotten the importance of honesty and transparency in their relationship with patrons. Instead of owning up to their mistakes and striving to enhance the customer experience, they dismiss any critique with hostility.For those contemplating a visit to Sandunga Bar, be prepared to encounter the unexpected maze of forced charges. If you do decide to venture in, keep your eyes wide open and brace yourself for a hostile reaction if you dare to question their tactics.In conclusion, Sandunga Bar has missed the opportunity to offer an authentic and honest dining experience to its customers. Their desire to maximize profits through forced charges seems to overshadow any trace of integrity. If you seek a genuine and respectful culinary adventure, it's best to explore elsewhere.As for us, we depart with the assurance that there are many other restaurants in Chicago that value their customers and provide truly satisfying experiences. Until then, we steer clear of the enigmatic labyrinth of Sandunga Bar, where honesty fades into the shadows.

Loved my first experience here, food is awesome, have to try the hot dogs 10/10 would eat again. Good music and great atmosphere, the service is top notch and owner of the bar treats you like family in his house, a true up holder of Columbian hospitality. Ps the drinks fly through you here so have an Uber ready

My go to place when I want Colombian food. The picada is my favorite, it's very meaty and cooked just right. The music is nice and great for dancing, especially if you like salsa.
