To be frank, we looked, but did not wait so we did not eat here. However, I felt it would be useful to TripAdvisor users to make a comment since this place seems to be so hyped. We went and looked inside this tiny dark...More

No, not just the next tourist trap as the name ‚False Door‘ might insinuate this is a top spot fir those who have time to wait a bit before getting seated in this unique tiny two storey place. Try the Tamales or Bogotá‘s sicnature dish,...More

Great place! It is quite small but a very charming restaurant with traditional dishes. Portions are quite big though. I would recommend the ajiaco during a rainy afternoon.

5 out of 5!!! The best food I’ve had in a very long time.. Must come. Local, authentic and delicious. If there’s two you, order one Tamales and Ajiaco Santaferno and share between you.

The food is incredibly delicious and even though the place is small it holds 203 years of history. I LOVED visiting it and did not mind waiting in line to get in.

Great place to try some traditional Colombian dishes. Tamales were very good, less convinced by the Colombian hot chocolate and cheese combo but worth trying. Go early to avoid queuing

Went to try tamal and the hot chocolate, unfortunately both were disappointed. The tamal had just chicken, witch I heard should have also pork, meat and eggs. The chocolate looked to be made with water and the almojabana wasn’t fresh. Don’t think it deserves a...More

Way too expensive for an original Colombian dish. Paid 38000 for one plate and a drink. Dishes are traditional.

It is really small, more a cafe than restaurant. You walk in, look at the menu on the wall, and order from the server. Not fancy.
