Amazing food and service. I ordered the veggie rice and it was 10/10, best rice I’ve had. My family enjoyed their meals, pork schnitzel and chicken soup. Highly recommend this genuine Colombian restaurant.

The Colombian food was delicious and the serving sizes were very generous. My friends and I shared two mains and an entree and still had leftovers. Service was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit loud and pretty hot in the heat. Great place and would recommend.

It's our first time trying Colombian food and we're blown away by it's flavour! Unless you're a big eater, this platter is big enough for 2 persons.

We came with seven friends and the experience was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious — the black pudding was incredible, the chorizos were spectacular, and the service was excellent. I recommend this place with my eyes closed. I’ve been living in Australia for many years and came all the way from the Gold Coast. I’ve tried only a few Colombian restaurants that are truly worth it, but this one was outstanding. If you can come, don’t miss it.

The food was delicious and truly authentic Colombian. The music was perfect, and the place has a very friendly staff. We tried the arepa, arroz paisa, and the empanadas, they were the highlight! I absolutely loved the sauces too!

i had a great time at tentaciones! it feels like a small, local hole-in-the-wall spot where the staff were friendly and warm. the food was also generously portioned and delicious. my favourite dish was the chicken nachos which had a perfect balance of tangy, creamy, and crunchy. the food took a while to come out as we were a 6-person table and presumably the kitchen is small but the staff gave us refills of our jug for free in apology. overall my colleagues and i a great time here trying out colombian food and would definitely recommend!
