My friend and I arrived about 45min before closing on a Friday night which might have shaped our experience. We also had a hard time finding the restaurant! Once we walked in we felt at home. The service was excellent, very accommodating, friendly, and fast. We ordered empanadas de queso & camarones. They were delicious! I had the ceviche mixto which tasted good, but felt more like I was eating a fish broth. The seafood was scarce. I drank maracuyá con leche. My friend had the plantain sandwich which wasn't as crunchy as expected. She ordered the panela drink which was Ok. However, we'll give this place another chance when we have more time to choose and enjoy our meals. Other items on the menu looked really good.

Terrible service, they don’t ask or specify, they take out dishes that are not and you owe them yourself, you pay terrible attention

I absolutely loved this place. The food was excellent as well as the staff. I had gone to another Columbian restaurant on my last trip to Chicago - left very disappointed. I will only come here on any other trip to the city. I ordered la bandeja paisa. It was cooked perfectly. Great authentic flavor. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!!!

The food was absolutely amazing! Everything was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The girl who served us was incredibly kind, attentive, and quick with everything we needed. We’re so glad we made it in before closing this place is truly a hidden gem. We would’ve missed out on a fantastic meal!

The Churrasco is hands down one of the best cuts of Colombian goodness I have had in the city. Arguably the best Colombian Restaurant in Chicago.

This is a great Colombian Restaurant. Food was great and fast. The empanadas are good and Steven helped us with respect in a friendly way.
Try the Maracuya juice and the bandeja paisa when you go there.

The food is good, the service could improve, but the atmosphere is terrible for a quiet moment with the family. During my visit there were people drinking and sharing with the waiters (although liquor is not sold there), and the music was too loud, something that really did not make my visit pleasant.
