Their chicharrón was incredibly flavorful, and I would definitely return for more. Their rice, however, was not regular white rice. It was very fragrant and complemented the plate perfectly. The steak was just okay, but the corn cake was quite tough. I’m not sure if that’s how it’s supposed to taste, but I personally didn’t enjoy it.

Went in for a small lunch but the food was so good we ended up ordering a feast! Among the best Colombian food I've had in the U.S. and the service was exceptional. Will be returning soon!

I normally go to the original, but 3 had more room. The food was exactly the same.
Loved it.

Places was okay. Good location, clean, food was ready super quick. However, food did not taste as real Colombian food, did not taste fresh and traditional. When I got into the place I could felt a weird sensation of humidity.
Overall 3.0/5.0.

Awesome food. Their bandeja penol is amazing! We order from this place at least 3 or 4 times a month.

Everything was mediocre, not the worst/not the best. The corn muffins I can do without, very hard and tasted like nothing - super dry. The chicharrón fat was too chewy - needed to be fried more. The steak, the soup, the beans and the fried chicken need more seasonings. Super bland, perfect for people who have high blood pressure and cannot intake much salt/seasonings. The soup was also too watery - the base needs to be thickened. This isn’t meant to be a horrible review because you can tell everything is cooked in house and all of the ingredients are fresh which is hard to find in a lot of restaurants right now. The chefs just need to use more seasonings & fix a few things. The French fries would have been amazing if they weren’t part of a delivery order - they were soggy by the time it arrived. The maduros delicious!

Try it. You won’t regret it!
I absolutely really liked my meal here. The food was authentic and excellent. The flavors were there. The Sancho was great you could really taste the root vegetables as well as the corn and other flavors. The rice and beans, chicharrones was excellent. The plantains and salad was fresh. I would highly recommend this establishment

Nice place. Our club uses it for large functions where we rent out the full space for an evening.
