Mi Bella Colombia Restaurant

We had a waitress that didn’t speak a word of English, so that made for an awkward experience. There was another waiter that did speak English, who helped out momentarily. You would’ve thought that knowing that there was a language barrier, that they would’ve reassigned the waiter who spoke English to our table. Nope.
On one hand, I was walking into a Colombian restaurant — so I could completely understand that the employees would speak Spanish as their native language (and that a large volume of their clientele were also native Spanish speakers). On the other hand, this was in Lawrenceville, Georgia so I believe that there is a reasonable expectation that they would be able to communicate with English speaking customers. You would think…
Due to the language barrier, we were largely ignored. We ordered by pointing at menu items on the menu. Most of our order arrived. Since we were ignored by our waitress after our food was delivered, I had to go to the English speaking waiter to get the check which we ended up paying at the bar.
For what its worth, the food was decent. Ordered empanadas. I liked the fried cornmeal shells with the potato and beef filling. Yum. Ordered Queso con Chorizo. The melted queso arrived with the whole chorizo sausage, but we never got arepas to go with it. Awkward. The chorizo was very flavorful. Finally, we had also ordered Bistec a la Criolla (steak in a creole-​style sauce). Tasty, but unwieldy.
Obviously, the service (or lack thereof) made us feel completely unwelcome… ruined the entire dining experience.

I love this place! Food is delicious, restaurant is clean and cute, and the staff is friendly and attentive. The burger and empanadas are amazing. Brian is a great server. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Fantastic! It was my first visit to this location and we had an excellent time. The service was great, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. The food portions are very generous so you get a lot for what you pay for. I totally recommend this location if you’re looking for good Colombian food. 5 out of 5

Clean, professional and quick! Love the food and the options they have. The empanadas are delicious! Sorry I didn’t get to add a picture, we ate them first!
