Reviews for Colonia Verde in Brooklyn, NY

I've come here several times now over the last few years and stopped by again yesterday and realized I never left a review for... this place. Overall, the interior of the space is spacious and quiet when it's not busy. They have outdoor seating for thewarmer months as well as a backyard patio. Highly recommend their shrimp tacos and the golden tilefish for lunch. The fish andrisotto have a lovely texture whilst being light and creamy. You must also try the pork belly appetizer. The shrimp Al ajillo isdelicious and flavorful but they come unpeeled so you have to work for the shrimp which is tedious and both my boyfriend and Idisliked having to skin the shrimp. The palomita drink is spirit free and could benefit from some carbonation in my opinionbecause it otherwise leaned more towards a medicinal flavor. The staff are all very kind and attentive. Overall, I do enjoy myvisits here and they are consistent with both service and food quality. Highly recommend checking them out!!! Stop by and enjoytheir varied Latin American menu. Read more

INCREDIBLE food and cocktails! Everything I ordered I want the recipe to try and recreate it at home. Michelin-star level food... (even though they don’t have one yet!) and a great restaurant to go to for a special occasion or if you want to treatyourself. There was lots of seating and they have a backyard too. I definitely would recommend getting a reservation becausetables fill up quickly. This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Brooklyn Read more

Came here for brunch and can’t wait to go back! The chilaquiles are some of the best I’ve had in the city and loved the corn... esquite side. Make sure not to skip on the churro doughnuts either! Read more

Had a great time at this restaurant- perfect lighting where we sat in their indoor greenhouse towards the back, the staff was... really nice and attentive, and food was excellent. We ordered the cast iron blackened porkchop (nicely seasoned and perfectlycooked), shrimp tacos, and esquite salad (fresh!) which was perfect to share between two with just enough room for dessert. Weordered the little piece of brazil which was a piece of yuca+coconut cake on a skillet - it was served hot and topped withwhipped cream and lime zest. All in all great combination of flavors and textures in one meal. Will be back! Read more

Perfect experience. Delicious food. We ordered a handful of sides and salad and each dish was so good. And even if you’re not... into meat, each veggie dish is full of flavor. The staff is so lovely. The ambiance is beautiful. It feels like being atsomeone’s home for dinner watching the team prepare the meals, lots of laughter while being super efficiently run. Read more
