We love the Columbia, they have excellent steaks with the best beans and rice. The Spanish soup is so good, and pairs well with the cuban sandwich.
This is the best food on our whole trip and service is amazing. Try the pork with rice it melts on your tongue Ropa Vieja. Great wine selection. Vegan friendly as well.
If you don’t try this place you’re missing out.
