I had an incredible dining experience at La Ruana! The Colombian cuisine was authentic, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. From the moment we walked in, the warm and vibrant atmosphere made us feel like we were in the heart of Colombia. The service was top-notch - our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to guide us through the menu. We tried several dishes, including the empanadas, arepas, and bandeja paisa, and every single one was outstanding. La Ruana is a true gem for anyone craving authentic Colombian food. The prices were reasonable, the portions were generous, and the quality was exceptional. 5/5 stars, highly recommended! ¡Buen provecho!"

I'm not from ATL, but I'm Colombian, so I was super excited to check this place out! First impressions walking in--the decorations were really nice, and the space was clean. The service was great; our server was very attentive and took great care of us. I got the jugo de mora, and it was amazing--a must-try for sure! I also tried the Mango Biche and Lychee cocktails, which were both good. My friend and I split the picada, and while we enjoyed it, it didn't blow us away. Picada is more of a street food dish, though, and I kind of wish I'd tried one of the soups instead because they looked incredible. The atmosphere was so cozy and homey. They had a stage and were playing vallenatos, which made it feel even more special. If you're Colombian, you have to visit--this place will definitely cure any homesickness you might have. Overall, a great experience! I'd definitely go back to try more dishes.

First time eating at this place and I enjoyed it from start to finish. Being a Colombian person my expectations were high and truly met. I ordered Sancocho and Mondongo which flavors did not disappoint. Portions were right and service was extraordinary. Fruit juices were a big compliment to my dishes. Quality of food was great as it reminded me flavors I tasted in my country. Then empanadas and buñuelos on the side were a big hit. Everything tasted like home made to me. The ambience was very pleasant with Latin music in the background and decor was on point. Finally, the bill came out in this pretty Colombian box with a "chiva" logo. Even the to-go bag had the tricolor Colombian flag in it. This definitely added some character to the whole experience. Overall, this was an authentic Colombian cuisine experience just out of the first visit. Surely, I will come back for more.

First thing I want to say is that, the food was very good to say the least. This was the very first time we have visited this restaurant. The presentation of their plates is unique. We enjoyed the ambiance the restaurant offers to its clients , very pretty to look at and clean. Now when it came down to the service, there was much to be desired. Our waitress Ana had no personality whatsoever. When we asked what she thought about a dish and all we got was a dry answer "Rico" as well as for drinks her answer was " all of them". When did finally ordered our drinks, I being the only one that ordered a Pocker beer which by the way had never tried, she brings me an Águila light. To top it off we were almost done eating and I was still working on my Bandeja paisa while most of the food was gone from my plate, the meat was untouched and I was still working on it. She decided to just pick up plates without asking if I was done and put another plate on top on the plate I was still eating. Normally I say something like "I'm still working on it" but I was left in shock on the rudeness of that because without even asking me if I was finished? We will come back but I will make sure not to be serviced by the same person.

Well, I saw the reviews, and I was on the fence, so I decided to come to experience what I was hoping to be an excellent Colombian food. Food is ok if you like fried stuff. I had the tostones, and they were so well done. I had empanadas de pollo. They were also just ok. overall flavor was ok.
