Everything was great about this place, it had a home cooked family feel. I started with the carrot soup which had immense flavor like no other carrot soup I have ever had. My main course was the Bandeja La Estancia, everything was awesome! I especially liked the chicharron which was packed with flavor and had a perfect crunch on the outside. I finished up with the Tres Leches which was new to me but I absolutely loved it and will add it to my list of favorite deserts. Will definitely revisit this place again in the near future.

La Estancia De Luisa-5270 Babcock St NE #28, Palm Bay, FL 32905 4.5 Stars This relaxed Columbian restaurant promises to dish up the standards. It is located inside the Marketplace at Palm Bay Shopping Center. My first foray with this eatery was in 2017. On that occasion, I appraised it at four stars. Presently, I grant the establishment a half star, incremental increase to four and a half stars. On this visit, Vicki is our Camarera and she is also the restaurant owner. She has been a professional for nearly 20 years, coinciding with the opening of the business. However, Vicki clearly articulates that she has had enough of her husband, and so has sold the operation to him. Perhaps her hope is to reach a state of complete ataraxia in the process. My order of Bandeja La Estancia is comprised of white rice, red beans, little corn cake, fried pork skin, beef, pork, chicken, salad and sweet plantains. These items were all cooked perfectly and offered an exquisite blend, which expertly achieved the delicate goal of balanced tastes with delectable cuisine that bursts forth with savory flavor. A side order of Morcilla Con Arepita (blood sausage) accompanied. This is sausage that is filled with blood and is cooked or dried and mixed with a filler, until thick enough to solidify when cooled. It's worth noting that although I have eaten this cuisine in many restaurants, the purveyor of this blood sausage is especially magnificent.
