Su ambientación es modesta, amable y familiar. La relación precio - calidad es excelente. Ofrecen pocos platos muy bien preparados. Utilizan la caneca para asar y ahumar. La oferta tÃpica y el menú del dÃa insuperables. El sanchocho en leña muy bueno.
6. Mundos Ribs
Reviewed By L B
Hidden among the modern Llanogrande commercial retail stores in the Rionegro municipality across from the Airport Roundabout is Mundos Ribs, Carnes y Vinos. Like a colonial hacienda, its breezy porches and cozy interior nooks and crannies make for a delightful or romantic lunch or dinner.The grounds and porches surrounding the building are tropically landscaped and graced with a number of fountains, ponytail palms and ivy hung roofs. There is a separate gazebo across from the grill which offers a pleasant view of the pretty landscaping and from which you can watch your food being grilled.The outside roof overhang accommodates most of the guests. One side is heavily landscaped against the main road, with a fountain at one end. Personally, I found this side of the property a bit gloomy and opted for a brighter, open location.The entire, as mentioned, is really cozy and romantic, with limited seating. (Most of the tables are ringed around the hacienda.) Occupying much of the interior is a huge wine collection. Celebrating on one occasion, we enjoyed a bottle of La Flor Sauvignon Blanc. It was delicious, among the cheapest offered and still set up back $50 [July 2014]! Next time, we bring our own bottle: that's generally permitted in Colombia and there is usually no corkage fee.The main touted offering is steak, but an extensive menu invites you to try many Mediterranean-style dishes, particularly as Entradas (Appetizers). You will be greatly impressed by the huge portions of tender, flavorful steaks offered in variety, Angus and Colombian cuts equivalent to top sirloin and New York. The meat came served with string beans/broccoli, baked potato and the ubiquitous arepa (q.v.). You will not find anywhere here the humongous russet potatoes we enjoy in the US; these are a fraction that size. But flavorful.The Mundos Baby-Back Ribs were really the best I've ever tasted, moist and meaty, drenched in their delicious barbecue sauce and reasonably priced. Living in Colombia, the bar is set quite high for steak, which is generally superb most places you'd think of frequenting. That said, Mundos' servings will not disappoint.Although not yet tried, word has it the grilled chicken is also excellent. Next impressive mentionable is an extensive list of Appetizers. These run international in nature from Pâté de foie gras maison to Moussaka and Thai chicken/beef rolls, Clam Pâté, Kibbe & Sour Cream, Stuffed Tomatoes, Stuffed Artichoke, Mushrooms Grilled/Stuffed with Blue Cheese, etc.Chicken is offered grilled, griddle cooked or fileted with Cajun sauce. You can order sea bass or salmon with lemon pepper sauce or prawns in curry sauce, accompanied by coconut rice or grilled with gnocchi. Fish is expensive in inland Colombia; prawns (what we'd call large shrimp) are out of sight.From what we sampled, desserts are not Mundos' forté for the amount of up to $6.00 charged. I couldn't resist "Secreto de la Abuela" (Grandma's Secret). Besides the ice cream, the soggy, tasteless dough was a big disappointment. The Milky Way Cake was described as "ordinary iced chocolate cake." The ice cream was quite good however.End a meal with delicious Colombian coffee (tinto) or an Aromatico (Fruit-flavored tea) and you are overall quite happy indeed.Service at Mundos can be languid or slow. But that is generally the national style.

This delightful restaurant is situated in the beautiful countryside between Rionegro and the pueblo, La Ceja. Last Sunday, we met a couple of friends at Filemon to celebrate "The Day of the Woman." Our dining experience at this cozy parrilla was a pleasant surprise. Great food + excellent service + reasonable prices = Outstanding value.We made reservations for 1:00 pm, and when we arrived the dining room was virtually empty. By the time our friends arrived 15 minutes later, it was filled to capacity. (I guess everyone had the same idea.) The restaurant offers a beautiful vista of the countryside. The dining room is comfortable, cozy and conducive to convivial dining among families and friends. Filemon offers a variety of beef, pork and chicken prepared over a charcoal fire. The meat is excellent quality and aged to perfection before the chefs at Filemon perform their magic. As far as beef goes, the menu offers both standard and premium cuts. (The premium cuts are extra thick and comparable to USDA quality). A typical grilled beef dish will run about 27,000 pesos ($8.50 US) while the extra thick cut beef selections are priced at 36,000 pesos ($11.50 US). The portions are generous, too.I ordered the BBQ ribs which set me back 23,000 pesos ($7.00 US). The portion was not quite a full rack of ribs, but more than half. My ribs were tasty and fall-off-the-bone tender. They were excellent in every respect and among the best ribs I have eaten in El Oriente. I would not classify them as babyback, but they were still just as tender and tasty. I also finished up my wife's pepper steak which was excellent. It was not as tender as I am used to, but it passed muster. Garden salad and a choice of potato accompanies each meal. Fried plantain chips are served as a complimentary entree. For those who are still hungry after their meal, a dessert selection is available. The bar offers a selection of soft drinks, juices, beer, liquor and international wines. The service at Filemon is both warm and professional. Our waiter, Jorge, was on top of his game and tended to our every need and request. Excellent WIFI Internet is available in the dining room. Filemon Parrilla is highly recommended and one of the best values in El Oriente for a great meal.

We had a really nice lunch at Brasas. Service is excellent, our server was helpful and friendly.We ordered different steak dishes, all of them really good. I had a Solomito with a wine and mushroom sauce and loved it! For dessert we tried a Flor de Jamaica Milonga, like a little typical pastry. A wonderful sweet bite to end our meal.
