Came here based on our hosts recommendations. Very good place, we opted for the 3 meats for two and a sopa con arroz, total about 20 dollars and we came out really full. There are no vegetables in the entree.

Great place to visit! We visited this place a number of times during our stay in El Valle. The food is good and very affordable. But above all, the people are very nice and kind and definitely deserve their customers.

The „Rice with vegetables“ sounds humble, but it is full of flavor and was one of the best simple vegetarian meals I’ve had in a long time. Incredible value and a nice setting.
Highly recommended.

My wife and I had a tasty dinner at El Rincon Colombiano. We arrived shortly after 6 for dinner and were seated immediately. The server was attentive, and we ordered within a few minutes as the small restaurant filled up. Our food arrived in under half an hour. Some diners received their food in as little as 10 minutes; a guy sitting next to us had to wait 45 minutes, but he had ordered lasagna. It was a whole lasagna made when ordered, so it makes sense it would take quite a while.
We had arepas rellena and causa. Both were excellent. A gentleman sitting with us had chicken, and it was a very large portion. He raved about how delicious it was. Because of the quality, portions, and prices, we will definitely be back before our stay in Ell Valle ends in 5 days.
Update: we went back for dinner two nights after the first time. Again we were seated right away, but this time our food arrived only ten minutes after we ordered. We really enjoyed our beef tacos and roasted chicken. They had no problem with my request for rice instead of patacones. Two meals and a beer cost $10. We're coming back to El Valle later this year, and this will definitely be or first choice for dinner out.

Food was okay, very cheap tho! The juices were all right. The spicy chicken wings weren’t spicy, it tasted more like bbq, and very crispy. The chicken tacos were missing something, probably pico de gallo. The bistec was really hard and chewy. For the meat arepa I was not expecting ground beef, but I should have asked before ordering and for the mixed meat arepa the chicharron was way too hard to eat.
Service was not the best, every time we would ask for something they seemed bothered by it. We asked for the check and we waited for 20min. As we’re waiting, my friend and I asked if we could get coronas, they said yes, but we never got them.
I think they’re menu is really interesting and has a lot to try, but I wouldn’t go again because of my experience. I understand it can get busy at times, but it doesn’t mean you ignore our table because you have another table that had a million questions, requests and vegan dog.
High quality food at really good prices. A few issues though - clearly understaffed, meaning staff are stressed and perhaps a bit snappier and more likely to make mistakes than they otherwise would be.
The portion sizes are also a little small unfortunately, and upon ordering more food you're probably going to end up overpaying for what you end up getting.
Still, it was nice to be in a restaurant with a reasonable price to quality ratio.

Chicken Tacos
This is where you go to get the local food. It says Colombian but not sure how Colombian this place really is. The soups (brown beans and most of all the vegetable) were really good. Best of all was the sour sop juice!
The sausage i had on the mixed Colombian stuff platter was too fatty, i couldn't eat it.
The sandwiches "arepas" were also great.
Cheap food, excellent service.
Super tasty, affordable, and cute!! Went here for lunch and we were really impressed, especially with the vegetarian options that El Rincon had! The arepa rellena vegetariano and papa rellena vegetariano (off menu) were super delicious and I would highly recommend them.
