Have been to location 3-4 times and food and service satisfies my cravings. The lasagna is unique and delicious. Menu of the day, good. The service is quick most times dependent on time of day. They deliver which is very nice too. Had delivery many times. Quick, efficient and the food hit the spot and was good. Would love to see servers collect the bill at the table as I am usually walking my dog when I stop in. She cannot be left alone or on the ground due to severe allergies.

Bendito Café in Jericó, Colombia, is an absolute gem. I had the pleasure of trying the Burrata Pizza, Margarita, and wings, and every dish was bursting with incredible flavor. The attention to detail in the preparation and presentation was evident, and the taste exceeded all expectations. The service was equally impressive—every staff member was kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Located right in Jericó Park, the café offers not only amazing food but also a picturesque and convenient setting. This has quickly become my favorite place to eat, and I can confidently say it’s worth the trip from Medellín just to dine here. Bendito Café is a must-visit that will not disappoint. A well-deserved 10/10!

We been here twice. Both times we ate the lovely "Menu del dia" which was really delicious and well put together. I bet the rest of the Menu is great as well. So if you come from Medellín (by Bus) go have a break and enjoy the day menu while having a good view over the central plaza.

Excellent thin crust crunchy pizza. You can choose the toppings, its better that way. We get pizza to go all the time. Definitely the best in town. The lasagna is seriously strange, it's a crust with good in it and I'll never get it again.

I had the menu of the day which was good for 20 mil pesos it included drink and soup. They accept credit card without extra fees. I went back for dinner and food and service wasn't as good. Better to go during lunch time.

My wife and I came here for dinner. We had a medium pizza and a stuffed arepa, as well as shared a soursop juice and a carrot cake. The pizza and arepa were decent but not spectacular (4 out of 5 stars), while the juice and carrot cake were superb (5 out of 5 stars). The location by the main plaza/park was nice, and staff were friendly and attentive (they proactively offered a change of cutlery when my wife accidentally dropped her fork on the floor).
