Authentic Colombian food that feels homemade. The bandeja paisa is massive and delicious. The restaurant is cozy and welcoming. Prices are fair for the amount of food. A great spot to try Colombian cuisine.

This Colombian restaurant has hearty portions and authentic flavors. The bandeja paisa is massive and comes with all the fixings. The arepas are fluffy and buttery. Service is quick and the place feels very family-run. Definitely worth a visit if you like Latin American food.

The food is always amazing love it. I literally drive from Orange County to buy the Bandeja Paisa, and their chicharon and frijoles. Super Delicious! I wish they had another restaurant closer to us down in OC, but still worth the drive. The only thing they could have more of is parking, it's always packed during meal times.
