The parking is horrible very limited. The customer service was horrible. Everyone walked around me no one ever asked if I needed help. I kept saying hello, no response it was awful. I would not come back here again. Delivery services have to go inside to pickup. Not a lot of employees here at all that speak English More

Our first time here and the food was delicious. All pictured is kids meals and they were honestly a good portions that even an adult that's not super hungry can eat. The paisa arepa had a lot of fat but the flavor on everything else was great. We weren't a fan of the pan de bonos, we've had plenty before down in Miami and these tasted and looked totally different. The empanadas de carne were delicious and the picante was my favorite. The service was great, we'll definitely visit again when we are in the area!

I’m writing this review because of one waiter the guy with the dirty blond hair. His attitude was absolutely unacceptable. He practically threw our food at us, and when we said thank you, he didn’t even bother to look at us. He wasn’t even … More

Everything was good. The lemonade was made with limes. Weird how there is a difference. It was good. Not what I expected. We will be back for some apps and other things to try. PS maybe a few extra napkins for the deliciousness!! Nice space… roomy… comfy seats. More

Yo! Come here hungry and adventurous! I ordered a few items off the menu to sample different dishes. The Creole soup was amazing and had layers of flavor. The soup was however difficult to eat with the chicken being in a bowl. The “bowl” was so big it is basically a pot and I needed better eating utensils to eat the soup! It was hard to get the meat off the bone but did not take away from the flavor. All items I purchase were meant to be stand alone dishes and were very filling. The staff was very helpful and assisted me describing menu items. I will definitely return to this restaurant in the future. Like is mentioned, come here hungry. Expect to need a To-Go Box!

OK
How did I not know a Columbian restaurant would have the best damn coffee ANYWHERE!
Then the food.
Classic authentic and satisfying.
Chilling music with big screens showing breathtakingly beautiful scenes from,... Columbia.
Notice the coffee is served in the perfect cup and saucer. I'm just saying this place is clean and well managed.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Las Arepas de Julia in Lilburn never disappoints. I’ve been here several times, and the service is consistently amazing. Every single person is genuinely kind, welcoming, and attentive.
A couple of days ago, Natalia was our server and she was fantastic. Today, Mateo took care of us — different servers, same incredible service. That kind of consistency says a lot about a place.
I also had the opportunity to meet Sebastian, the manager. Super nice guy, very pleasant, and you can tell he truly cares about the experience of every guest.
We actually drove about two hours to come celebrate my birthday here, and it was absolutely worth it. The food is always delicious, and the overall environment is warm, vibrant, and inviting.
Highly recommend. We’ll definitely be back!
