The food was ok, They had only 1 vegan dish, and it was overpowering sweet plantain flavor. I wanted their beans, but they added pork to them.

This is a very cute restaurant. Not too big & not too small, definitely recommend for lunch or dinner. There is a bar with nice drinks. Food was amazing, everything tasted fresh and very good flavor. The staff/waitresses are very friendly. Flan was okay but other than that, I'd come here again.

This spot is very unassuming amongst a wide range of restaurants in the Brookline area. I was excited to try this Colombian food because you can't find a ton of that outside of the Jamaica Plains area! Food: We got the Classic Colombian plate which came with chicharrón, chorizo, steak, plantains, egg, rice, and beans. A very hearty plate! The chicharrón and chorizo were good but the steak was too dry. The beans were very flavorful and went well with all the meats. If you like meat, this is a great dish for you and I like that it was a sampler of what they offered. We also ordered grilled fish and shrimp in a cream sauce. The sauce was creamy and delectable but a little too heavy for lunch. The shrimp was nice and plump and absorbed the flavors well. Lastly, we ordered the beef empanadas. These were simple and delicious. The filling was warm and seasoned perfectly. The outer layer was crispy and chewy at the same time. Price: Each plate was about $18-$20. My friend and I were definitely full after two dishes and the empanadas. The empanadas were $1.50 each and I wish I got 10 of them! Overall, I would definitely go again. This is a great spot for a casual meal and for expanding your taste buds!

My favorite new place. I have been to South Boston location and Brookline. The food is wonder and it will be hard to find a place with better prices. Tons of delicious food from their empanadas, yuca fries, sour Sopa, Rice and beans, chicharrones to the churros for dessert! You cannot go wrong here!!

Colombian and local guide here. I order take out from this location so I can’t comment about the in restaurant experience. Take out from this place is great! My go to order is the sancocho de res. If you want food that taste like a delicious homemade meal and it is cheap ($12) then try this! For 12 bucks you get two portions of soups enough for lunch and dinner. The soup is comes with rice, sweet plantains and salad on the side. It is delicious! Highly recommend! Vegetarian options are limited. My husband orders the veg paella here but not a place I would personally recommend for veg.
