Very nice little tapas restaurant in trendy macarena neighborhood. Food is very good, so is the fast and friendly staff. If full, try the bigger tapas restaurant from the same owner down the street. Has the same good vibe. Only downside are the high prices... More

Tapas Macarena is a wonderful little restaurant, with a friendly, laid-back atmosphere and incredibly personable staff and service. The couple who run it are very welcoming - you'll feel like you're part of the family! Its size (about 6 tables, ranging from two seats to six) makes it a fantastic place to eat if you're looking for an intimate and... More

Everything is very good but (a part from the Argentinian Chorizo) but be prepared to pay more than you would in Europe !! To have a proper meal it's about 30$ USD per persons. Anyway it is delicious and the owner is pretty nice ! The neighbouhood is quite pretty as well. More

All the usual suspects and some inventive seafood combinations make this restaurant a solid choice--though I wouldn't necessarily go an hour out of my way downtown to find it, but certainly if I wasinthe neighborhood, which be warned, is not safe solo. More

I have been to Peter's place Tapas La Macarena several time over the past years. I have always been welcomed warmly with pleasant conversation and good food. The last time, a week ago, the novelties on the menu proved especially tasty: a spectacular salad, and carpaccio with real Dutch cheese, to mention only two of the new dishes. Good wine,... More

I was told that at tapas Macarena they bring the concept and format of the Spanish tapas to different cuisines of the world. I found this very and intereting, since you can get much better quality of food. One of their cretions that I liked the most was the corvina fish with basil oiil and asparagus and dried tomatoes. They... More

It is very hard for me to believe that this restaurant (?) could be voted the best in Bogota. We tried to find it on our first night in Bogota and when the taxi driver finally got us there, I found it very small (although they said they took reservations) and rather unkempt. Couldn't believe it was the right place.... More
