Underwhelming, food lacked flavour, and the service was subpar. Waitresses got orders wrong, did not keep track of our individual orders when bill time came. It’s hard to find Colombian food in Ottawa so I was really excited to give it a try but was quite disappointed in the end.

Food was excellent, had the arepas and cachapas and empanadas for appetizers.

Flavours were very good and authentic.

Restaurant is small and cozy but the heat works well for a very cold winter day.

From the moment we walked in this was not a welcoming establishment by the older woman working, the bandeja paisa is 28$ plus tax. This dish usually is a bigger portion and includes steak, also the chicharron was under cooked. I expected better from a 28$ plate. The arepas were okay at best.

Delicious food. The chorizo one is probably the best in my opinion. Valentina is a respectful and courteous server. My only wish is that they were open at lunch during the week because I'd get takeout!

Delicious food and friendly service. The arepas, cachapas, patacones and morcilla were amazing. Can’t wait to go back!

The guava and passion fruit juices were also delicious 😍😍

We stopped in for Sunday lunch. This was our first-ever visit to a Colombian restaurant, so most of the items on the menu were new to us. We picked two things, both were great: Beef Cachapas, which were between two corn flatbreads, so you could pick up and eat like a burger. Salchipapa was a mixture of chorizo, potato, yuca fries and cheese. (Yuca fries are made with cassava rather than potato.)
Everything was tasty, the restaurant is bright and sunny, the staff were very patient with our questions.

We were really looking forward to dining here again after seeing so many great reviews, but unfortunately, our experience didn’t meet expectations. The yuca was overly soaked in oil, which seemed reused, affecting the taste and overall quality. The arepa was underfilled, and the pulled pork lacked flavor, leaving us a bit underwhelmed. We appreciate the effort, but this visit fell short for us. Hoping for improvements in the future!
