Bogota Latin Bistro & Mojito Bar in Park Slope continues to celebrate success in a field where a majority of new restaurants do not make it past the one-year mark. George Constantinou Fernandes and Farid Ali Lancheros, both with no prior experience in starting a business, opened Bogota Bistro in July 2005 after four years of intense research and preparation in opening and managing a restaurant and on creating and building a successful business. “We serve Latin food in a fun, friendly, stylish environment,” said Farid, who was born in Colombia and raised in Park Slope and Pennsylvania. “Our menu is made up of recipes inspired by our travels throughout Latin America, George’s mother’s favorite dishes, and cooking classes we’ve taken at the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan.” Bogota Latin Bistro made the Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest Growing Private Companies in 2011. "We are extremely proud of what we have created. It's an incredible restaurant," said Farid. "The story of Bogota Latin Bistro is one of determination, discipline, faith and a lot of hard work.” "It doesn't get better than that for me." The Company is currently working on creating a line of food products based on its best-selling items including their sauces.
