The restaurant's atmosphere is nice. However, the service was disappointing. Our server made a mistake with our order and was rude when we politely inquired about it. We ordered five different items. When the food was served, we initially thought all five items were there, so we started eating, but later we suspected that one item was missing entirely. When we brought it to the server's attention, she checked and placed the order for the missing item, but did not clarify anything with us. One of the items we were already eating turned out to be a similar item.
When the check arrived, we noticed six items, including two orders of the same dish. We asked the server about the extra order, she simply brushed us off, saying there were two orders. When I confronted her again, explaining that we only ordered one of that item, she changed her tone and sarcastically asked, "Well, did you eat it?"
I understand that mistakes do happen, and we are okay with it even if we have to pay for that extra item, but the server's rude attitude and unaccountability were unacceptable. If you made a mistake on your order, please own it and not just pretend that we ordered it. This was a very insulting and unpleasant experience.

Amazing drinks!
Called in late on our way to the hotel and they said they were open. We arrived shortly after 9pm and they let us know they usually shut down the grill early but they kept it open for us.
We apologized and ordered takeout. Everyone at the restaurant was accommodating, professional and personable. I felt welcomed and appreciated even though I’m that person that comes in right before you close 😂 (not my intentions I swear).
The inside of the business is gorgeous, I love all of the plants, moody lighting and nicely selected music.
We got our food in no time at all, and let me tell you it was some of the best food I’ve ever had! The food had so many layers of flavor, it was cooked amazingly and it just had so much depth.
For a late night taking a chance on a random restaurant this place is being slept on 1000%.
I would recommend to my friends, families, enemies to try this place!

Very good food. The drinks are alcohol-free. We ordered an Old Fashioned to have something stronger and the drink seemed like it was just a little whiskey with a lot of water. I don't want to pay so much money for dues that it's just more juice

Only one star because the server was friendly, but service was slow? It took a minute to get the drinks.And the food was really gross,like I’m genuinely traumatized lol… hardly came out hot. You could tell the fryer oil needed changed as a cook… I feel like this place deletes any bad reviews because there’s no way these reviews are true? Food had no seasoning, meat was bland, empanadas tasted worse than a cheese quesadilla…I’ve had better food at the hospital and there’s definitely no sort of authentic food here. Drink was alright.

One of our favorite local restaurants- we’re so happy it’s back open. We love the small plates and mojitos on tap!

Overall, decent.
Beautiful decor and environment. On the heels of reopening though, service needs a little work on getting to the next level. When we entered, no hostess was available to meet or seat us for at least 10 minutes…looking around it’s because the only one seemingly available worker on the floor was also doing double duty as a server plus hostess. We were seated and ordered cocktails but no water for the table ever came even though we asked for it. Server eventually remembered towards the end but we were near done eating. Also, our tapas arrived with no individual small plates for group, and the server left immediately for a while. Thus, we were there just eating from the tapas serving dishes direction until we could eventually find server to bring plates. Not really a big deal, tapas is about sharing but without our own little plates it was hard to share things like the tacos, etc.
We ordered cocktails:
-Negroni: very well made, balanced
-banana bread: perfect amount of sweetness, rich
Food
-ceviche: the whitefish was tough. It’s probably because the ceviche is pre-made and the fish is sitting in the lime juice a while. Doing that will really toughen up the texture and this made chewing the white fish tough. The flavors of the mango salsa and leche de Tigre were good though.
-pork belly tacos: DELICIOUS.
-patatas bravas: the carnitas were cooked well with a nice crisp. Potatoes done well.

After high hopes and excitement about a new tapas restaurant opportunity, we were deeply disappointed tonight. We were greeted to half the menu being available (could only order 3 of the 8 items). The tacos were fantastic but that was really all we could order. We then tried to get an order of chicken skewers but the check was brought instead. When we tried to correct this the waitress tried to comp it only to find out it had run out as well... Very disappointed.

This place has HUGE upside! Great location, electric vibes when you walk in and a creatively fun drink menu. I started with the caipirinha which was (traditionally) great and then moved on to a succulent old fashioned, made with rum (yum) and was finished off with a brûlée'd banana.
Unfortunately, the food needs more. Literally, there needs to be more. They were out of items the night I visited and I was a bit disappointed. TO BE CLEAR....the quality (of what I ate) was good and the flavors were good as well. I had the croquettes, chicken tacos, mango ceviche and the cheese empanadas.
But...when I envision of going to a Colombian owned restaurant.....I want to eat food that makes me miserable, yet happy. Where was the bistec a caballo? I wanted to eat a FULL size meal and the small plates just didn't cut it.
If I could speak to the owner, I would tell him to GO FOR IT. Don't be scared. Seems like something is being held back from being a really cool, Lat joint. The potential is HUGE. Capitalize on it.
I will be back! :-)

The food is so good!! So yummy seriously! Service lacked. Very slow. I came on a Tuesday with two other tables and one person at the bar and my friend didn’t get her food until 20 minutes after I received mine. If it was busy I could be more understanding but it was not busy at all and I think they just forgot about us. So that was a bummer. But food was very good I had the patatas bravas and it was so yummy!
