The service declines every time I come here. Do not come here if you are very hungry. The place can be empty and still the service sucks when the food does FINALLY come out it's good.

My 1st time dining there, & SUPERB.
The waitress was so sweet and helped me decide. The mango drink that I ordered was soooo good & I should have ordered another ?
The portion was perfect, more than enough.
Authentic Columbian food.
You gotta try it.
It seems to be in a rather strange location, I always drove past but didn't even know it existed.

This is by far the BEST food we’ve had since we arrived in Jacksonville!! You can literally taste the love in each bite!! Abuelita cooking that authentic Colombian dishes is everything your heart and stomach needs!! We had the garlic shrimp, oxtails, baccalua (stew cod fish). I can’t wait to try the other dishes and desserts!! 10/10 recommend this spot if you are looking for delicious food with vibrant flavors!!!
