About Los Recuerdos Resturante & Taberna
Los Recuerdos sits in Suite 807B of a Pleasant Hill Road strip center in Lawrenceville, the Gwinnett corridor between I-85 and Sugarloaf Parkway that's become one of the densest concentrations of Latin American restaurants in metro Atlanta. The restaurant's own website lists a founding year of 1997 — making it one of the longer-running Colombian kitchens in Gwinnett — and the menu reflects a sit-down Colombian repertoire rather than the empanada-counter format that dominates the corridor.
The dish that anchors the menu is the bandeja paisa, the traditional Antioquian platter (rice, beans, ground beef, chicharrón, fried egg, plantain, avocado, arepa) that Yelp and Tripadvisor reviewers consistently flag as the order to make. Other house orders surfaced in reviews include ajiaco (the Bogotá chicken-and-three-potato soup), mondongo (tripe stew), churrasco, and empanadas. The Restaurantji page shows roughly 129 reviews and the bandeja paisa lists at $11.49 — entree pricing here is closer to neighborhood-comfort than special-occasion.
The "Resturante & Taberna" naming is meaningful: this is a kitchen with a bar program, sports-watching TVs, and live music or DJ nights, and the schedule reflects it — the kitchen runs to 9 PM most nights, 10 PM Friday, but Saturdays go all the way to 3:30 AM, which is a tavern-hour close, not a restaurant-hour close. Reviewers note that the late-night Saturday DJ scene can be loud, so the room runs as a quiet family dinner Sunday through Thursday and as a Colombian late-night spot on weekends.

Never again. The owner had a lot of nerve to drop the crap off at my wedding venue on 6/14. I shouldve used Publix.

Bad Management customer service, I had to move with a group of 18 to a smaller table and had to pay just to get a seat and the rest had to stand.

Stay away from this place! Overpriced cold food! Poor service and worst food. Served gumbo with a fork took 20 minutes to get someone to bring a spoon. $14 hamburger was service raw and cold. Food sat on counter for 30

I love this restaurant! The food is delicious and the price is just right. I eat there all the time, it reminds me of home. The ambience could do with a make over if you want to encourge sit down dining.
