can someone turn on the climate control here? it felt authentic in so much that it was hot like the tropics in this place!
food was good, tho.
Cubano sandwich and Argentine empanadas hit the spot on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Just moved from NYC so i was trying to find a place that had colombian food and found this place. The food is very good and authentic, but for how pricey my food was ($24) I was expecting a lot more food. The meal came with tiny portions and I was still feeling hungry after because of that. Unfortunate. In total i spent close to $30, which is an insane amount of money to spend on a single meal that wasnt filling.

Unfortunately, their price increases over the years is just too much and sadly the flavors in their food are no longer the same either.
An $8 increase in their Pabellon Venezolano over a 4 year period is far too much.
