Really slow service, bland but authentic Columbian food. Pretty pricey for the meal too.

Wow! Everything is gluten free. The Pollo a La Plancha was a hearty portion of grilled chicken breast and pineapple grilled perfectly and served with avocado, fried plantains, and a side salad (without tomatoes to make this dish nightshade free). The unique seasoning of the chicken could have been slightly heavier. But I appreciated that by avoiding excess spicing, the natural flavors of the pineapple and avocado nicely served as nice complements. The Ajiaco grande bowl provided a nice variation on chicken soup. The empenada de chile verde won strong approval from my wife (not nightshade free). There was a problem with the rice maker, so we were instead given yuca frita, normally an appetizer, instead as the side for our meals. The yuca frita proved a fun alternative to french fries. Both of us loved the cilanto chimichurri served with the empanada and yuca frita; it seemed free of chili (nightshade-free). The small restaurant was nearly full on this Friday night, so it took awhile for food to arrive. But the service was excellent and the food worth the wait. The food came out hot and lovingly prepared. Order an appetizer and plan to linger. I suggest the proprietors add cushions to the chairs to make the lingering more comfy. We will be back!

We were starving after a long day of outing - and arrived here for some Colombian food. The staff greeted us and showed us our table. It is a small and cute place with ample seating. We ordered arepa sandwich with shredded chicken, ropa vieja con patacon, yuca fries with chimichurri and ensalada de casa with passion fruit dressing. The fries were crispy and chewy - the chimichurri it came with was fresh and herby. The salad was super fresh - it had apples, greens, baby tomatoes and avocados. The passionfruit dressing was the winner today. The arepa had a generous amount of shredded chicken - i was so full after. The carne asada was succulent and meaty. The accompanying beans and rice were fantastic - among the best beans I have had. The service was fast and the staff were so kind. What a great find this was! I would love to visit again.

This is the best restaurant in town, and the best Colombian food restaurant I’ve been to in the US. Arepa con queso, all empanadas, and arroz con pollo are my most favorite dishes. The music is always on point, and the staff are super kind.

true hidden gem in Nob Hill! The cozy, vibrant atmosphere with warm wood tables and colorful accents makes you feel right at home. We started with crispy empanadas and patacones, perfectly fried and flavorful. My dish was the chicken so delicious, hearty and authentic. Don’t skip the guanabana juice; refreshing and indulgent! Service was warm and attentive, prices fair for the quality. Hands down. Colombian cuisine that transports you to Bogota. Must-visit for anyone craving something beyond New Mexican!

I appreciate that they offer food that’s cooked from scratch - not fast food. If you’re impatient or want a quick meal this may not be the right place for you.

My family and I have enjoyed a hand full of vegetarian options and our favorite dish to share is Frijolada without meat. It’s a generous bowl of goodness that can easily be shared between two.

The food is made and served with care. It’s like eating at home.

Thank you 🙏

Great little restaurant. Highly recommend. Everything is prepared fresh, everything is great. My partner and I have largely been disappointed in the food scene in Albuquerque but this place is one of a few amazing experiences we’ve had.
