Welcome to La Barra Colombia Restaurante Fonda – A Taste of Tradition from Cali to Lilburn, GA!
At La Barra, we’re more than just a restaurant; we are a family dedicated to bringing the rich flavors, traditions, and warm hospitality of Colombia to the heart of Gwinnett County. Founded by the Rodriguez-Cardona family, who hail from the vibrant city of Cali, Colombia, our restaurant was born from a deep passion for sharing the authentic dishes that we grew up enjoying. Every meal served at La Barra is a celebration of our Caleño roots, carefully crafted to give you the same flavors you would experience in the heart of Cali, or any other Colombian’s City.
Our journey started with a simple goal: to create a place where people could gather and enjoy the traditional flavors of Colombia in a warm and inviting atmosphere. For us, food is more than just nourishment—it’s a way to bring people together, share stories, and celebrate culture. Jimmy Rodriguez and Yamile Cardona, inspired by their family traditions in Cali, worked to create a menu that combines the best of Colombian culinary heritage with a modern touch. We’ve spent countless hours perfecting recipes passed down through generations, and now we’re proud to bring these beloved dishes to the community in Lilburn, GA.
At La Barra, our commitment is simple:
- Authentic Flavors: From our famous Bandeja Paisa to our signature Sancocho Valluno, every dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and a lot of love. The Sancocho Valluno, a traditional hearty soup from the Valle del Cauca region, is a must-try for those seeking true Colombian comfort food.
- A Welcoming Environment: Whether you’re joining us for a family dinner, a casual lunch, or a celebration, you’ll find a space that feels like home.
- Colombian Traditions: We’re proud of our Caleño heritage, and we love sharing the stories, music, and culture that make Colombia such a vibrant place. Our restaurant reflects the heart and soul of the Colombian fonda – a place for community, celebration, and great food.
Our mission is to bring the heart of Colombia, especially Cali, to every plate we serve. We strive to offer an unforgettable dining experience that combines delicious food with genuine hospitality. It’s not just about the food, it’s about creating memories, building relationships, and making sure every guest leaves with a smile.

Whether you’re craving a traditional Colombian meal, like our famous Sancocho Valluno, or just stopping by for a quick coffee, we’re here to welcome you. Thank you for being a part of our story.
