The place look nice, but the seat was not very comfy. Also, out of the arepas I ordered, only the cheese was good. The chicken has too much cumin. And when chicharrón arepa, I asked the guy to make it crispy and he said he would do it, yet it was fatty. Also, service took a long time and it was not that busy. For those reasons, I won't be going back.

Food is high quality and cooked well without overly salty items. The beef is shredded and low fat… just the way I like it. Healthy Columbian food! I can’t wait to try the arepas! Logan Square and Humboldt Park locations.

I 100% have to give this place respect and mad props.

I've worked for michelin places before. This is one of best sauces I've ever had in my entire life. The green sauce is like a perfectly tangy rich chimmichuri. Really big depth of flavor. 100/10

Really cozy small dining room with great food and atmosphere. I've been to a lot of Colombian restaurants in the area and this one by far felt the most authentic. Everything was seasoned very well the meat was tender and delicious. The quality of the empanadas were much higher than other places and considering the price a great deal. The cilantro sauce was incredible and I ended up pouring it on everything I ate. 10/10 no notes

Came here for our anniversary after seeing it on reviewed on TikTok by Bored in Chicago. We got the sampler appetizer (mini arepas, mini empanadas, mini stuffed yucca fritters, mini stuffed papas), the ropa vieja (stewed meat/veggies, rice, beans, sweet plantains) and the bendeja paisa (various meats, an arepa, rice, beans, avocado, sweet plantains). It was all incredibly delicious. The only thing we didn't care for was the pork belly but I think it was just a one-off because everything else was amazing. We also really enjoyed the lemonades - we got mango and coconut ones. They are so fresh and mixed with lime juice. If you're in the area, definitely try it out, you won't be sorry!

I was quite disappointed with my recent dining experience here. I've visited a couple of times before and enjoyed the food, but this time it was a different story. I ordered the Arepa tacos and found that the meat was mostly chewy fat—90% of it, in fact. After looking at recent reviews, it seems this has been an issue over the past year. This quality is unacceptable and needs to be addressed.

The hostess was sweet and was able to seat us prior to closing. She was so sweet and accomodating and was very informative about the delicious homemade juices. You should come here for the arepas AND the juices/smoothies. Our waiter, Steve, was very engaging and laughs were had. He was very attentive and recommended a delicious coffee flan! 😋

I don't know what happened to this place. The last time I was there, it was amazing! Tonight it was terrible. The arepas were dense and hard and the meat was dry. Very disappointed.
