The quality of the food exceeded our expectations. We originally planned to order other dishes, but after seeing the menu we couldn’t resist trying different options.

We had the mondongo and the Huilense tamale. The mondongo was packed with meat, with a delicious smoky flavor, homemade-style rice, and crispy patacon. The tamale was freshly made, with pork crackling, chicken, beef, and egg absolutely flavorful.

Service was attentive and friendly, always making sure everything was to our liking and suggesting new dishes to try.

The atmosphere was calm and pleasant, unlike other Colombian restaurants that can be noisy. The music was enjoyable and at the right volume for conversation. Parking was a bit busy, but we easily found a spot across the street and walked less than three minutes.

Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I ordered for takeout and I got the chicharron bites & papas and the plantain maduros. The bites were so amazing and dangerous cause I could eat a lot of those. The papas were just salted which I didn’t mind cause the chicharrones had all the flavor. I was disappointed in the maduros though cause they didn’t come with any cream and the texture was a little hard than I’ve had. They tasted ok but I don’t think I’ll be ordering them again from here.

solid bandeja paisa, I wish it had a bit more flavor though. They have colombian drinks and snacks and a cute cart in there. I also wish the jugo de lulo and jugo de mara cuts was fresh

I have visited this restaurant several times and have generally always enjoyed the food and the ambiance. However, on my last two visits, I tried the lulo juice and noticed that it tasted strange, as if it was damaged. I hope they can revise the quality of their ingredients to maintain the standard I have always appreciated

Food is great with big portions. Tastes fresh. Service was great too as well as the atmosphere. My partner and I enjoyed the Bistec a Caballo, Cazuelita Toxic, and the Arepas de Queso. All of it was super delicious ! Would recommend to come here.

Great Colombian food and quality. The only thing is their portions are huge, and probably meant to be shared

Josh Limasa

Great food and service. We always share since the portions are large and its hard to choose just one!

Terrible customer service, we arrived for lunch and the person in charge of taking the order was outside talking on the phone and saw us come in and didn't care he continued on his phone

Excellent typical / traditional Colombian food, excellent atmosphere.

Food was delicious, everything from the spices to the plates were amazing, favorite Colombia spot in the bay do far.

Only hiccup is the service is a little slow, I think they're short staffed but I wouldn't say it was as slow to knock them down a star. This isn't so much as complaint as it is an observation

Given there were two servers, our orders and food came out as expected.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of tables spaced apart and plenty of high chairs, make finding a spot and maneuvering a stroller no problem.

Food is easily separable so as to let picky little ones eat, no problem here either
