Caffe Colao Resturant

This is amazing food

Great place

I was craving Dominican food yesterday and did a little research to see what was in the area as I am a new Dominican in Richmond. I saw that Collao had almost 5 stars and decided to go there with my son. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Mofongo. I will give it a 3/5 because the Mofongo was good, but not the chicken. It just had a weird taste and I couldn’t finish it. My son got fried pork chops, rice and beans. The beans could have been better. This is just an honest opinion to what we are used to eating. If we go again, I will try a different dish and see how I feel. But for now I will be very honest with the public and rate this place a 3/5 for food, 4/5 for service.

Amazing food! We loved everything that we have ordered. Found this restaurant on Google Map and I liked the photos of dishes that were posted in reviews. Our waitress Amaya was so kind and patient. I asked a lot of questions since I never had Dominican food. She patiently answered each one my questions and told me what she would recommend. I ordered Mofongo Bistec encebollado (Steak and Onion with Yuca Mofongo). Yuca Mofongo was so delicious, it was my favorite part of the meal. Bake Pernil (Roasted Pork) was moist and tender, full of flavors. Goat Stew was cooked perfectly, good amount of lean meat soaked in delicious sauce. Each dish comes with rice, they substituted mixed vegetables for my husband and I since we are trying to avoid carbohydrates. We also had a cup of Cappuccino, it was nice and strong. They have a nice espresso machine in the bar area. The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. Multiple large TVs. I really enjoyed everything, will definitely go back especially for the Yuca Mofongo. Kid-friendliness: They offer kids meals.

First time to try this restaurant. all the foods we ordered taste good especially the beef stew and baked chicken are so tender ❤️
