What Heather D likes about El Fogón De Elena:
You have not lived until you eat Bandeja Paisa from this restaurant. It easily became my favorite food after having it.You get a spread of many different flavors- sweetness from the plantain, several types of meats, avocado, buttery rice, and arepa. It is BYOB. The waiter was a delight, and whole restaurant had an upbeat atmosphere. It can be a little loud, so it might be worth checking for ongoing events if that is... View all feedback. What Alan Aranda doesn't like about El Fogón De Elena:
Terrible experience and service. The waitress had a bad attitude because I asked her to repeat herself (couldn't hear her with the loud music and don't understand Colombian Spanish that well) said they didn't have beer but the other waiter served beer for another table. My stomach didn't like the trip either, food might've been undercooked. The tiny tables suck, definitely won't be back, mediocre. View all feedback.
