Horrible, for ceviche to be its “strong” it is X, I also ordered meat and it was colder than my grandmother who has been dead for 10 years, the cachapa is raw and so is the pork, I would never eat here again, apart from expensive and they serve you like a pecueca.

Unfriendly staff. The mixed ceviche to be your star 4 out of 10. Price-value ratio. They didn't pay attention to the non-spicy note. They made it extra spicy. A medium-finished Argentine steak... they delivered it to me blu Tequeños ok. Guasacaca? 1 out of 10 is a green vinaigrette, they should not sell it as guasacaca. The general atmosphere of the place is good and friendly. This is not a restaurant I would return to. But in the end. Each one….Cost-value ratio 3 out of 10.

Inside the post food hall. Hidden in the back is an authentic argentine restaurant. The steak chimichurri is on point. Now its not a sit down fine dining restaurant but this place is quality. Also recommend the steak

I had the hangover soup which had albacore tuna, yucca, and shrimp. It was fantastic! It took a while to get the food, so I would say service is slow, but the staff was very nice and friendly.

We were looking for an Ecuadorian restaurant and were not disappointed. They have a variety of different South American food options. Everything was delicious! We ordered yucca fries, sweet plantains and guanabana juice for kids and they loved it. The mixed seafood ceviche was spicy and tasty. My husband ordered loaded fries and coconut shrimp curry and everything was really good.

It's just so-so quality at top dollar prices. When this location first opened it was pretty decent, but I think the owner lost interest in this endeavor. The ceviche is pricey for a food stall restaurant, and I'm fine with that, BUT they have some major issues with shrinkflation. The ceviche flavor is good, but the quantity they give now is more like an appetizer.The last few times we went there, the service has been poor. The lady at the counter isn't helpful. While sitting, waiting for our food, she seemed to actually be hiding and avoiding customers. Several people were waiting to place an order and ended up leaving because nobody was at the counter.Instead of providing silverware they direct you to get it from the food court which seems odd. Not sure if it's just the restaurant being lazy or if that's just the way things work at post.There are boxes sitting around in the already small restaurant space, which comes across as being untidy. Overall, pride is not being taken with regards to upkeep of the restaurant.We probably won't come back after too many poor experiences.

The empanadas here are horrible, undercooked, and still cold in the middle. The batter or masa is also really weird- very grainy and oily, nothing like empanadas in Venezuela or Colombia.

Ordered empanadas and will never go to this establishment again. Pictures and atmosphere look pretty enough to take your date and all, but didn't read the reviews til after I visited. Got food poisoning later on in the day after I ate there...and yes that was the only food I had consumed that day so it was the empanadas. Not even flavorful enough to give another chance. Skip on this one.

This is our second visit to Andy’s café. We made a reservation because we wanted to try the “ceviche bar.” The food tasted good, but the ambience and service were terrible. First, this is not a ceviche bar. Food bars are where you actually interact with or at least can see the food during its preparation. This is simply sitting uncomfortably at a hemmed in counter with the food apparently prepared in the kitchen and plated on the other side of the counter, which we couldn’t see. The Ecuadorian decorations were nice, but really the only thing of interest at our seats. Sitting in a row like that with a solid counter in front of you is uncomfortable for a party of three and there is simply no reason why this could not have been served at a table. So we were disappointed from the start. Then, the advice on food quantity that was provided while we were ordering was simply inaccurate. The appetizer was entrée size and should have been shared among the three of us. We were advised that it was small and individual. That led to wasted food since we each ordered a full appetizer and entree ceviches as required for ceviche bar reservations. The ceviche itself and the appetizer were quite tasty although I had one bite of something crunchy that tasted off. The food wait is long, which would’ve been fine in a better setting, but the server failed to provide our beer and wine for the lengthy wait for the appetizers. We finally reminded her and she brought the order, but had missed one of two glasses of wine. This was very clearly ordered so I’m not sure what the problem was. The wine pours are very small when compared to other restaurants. I am not sure it was even 4 ounces. The entrées were not serve together. Again we understand they were freshly prepared and had to be prepared one at a time, but it is awkward when you’re a party of three and your food comes out at vastly different times, particularly when you are sitting at a metal counter and all you can do is stare at the counter or stare at your food. We all found the ceviche excellent. Given the small space at the counter, it was unfortunate that the appetizer dishes which had been pushed to the side were never cleared. It’s unappetizing to have dirty plates sitting there and it took up space.I should note that there were only one or two tables filled and a couple of walk up orders so the restaurant was not busy. One server should have been able to handle things better. Finally, we ordered the alfajores to take with us. This restaurant needs to find a better way to pack alfajores than an over-sized plastic box.I went with three stars because we loved the Andes café of old in EaDo and are sad that our two visits to the new location have been less than stellar.We gave it an excellent rating the first time we were there, even though the service was a little off. But this was our second visit, and we tried the ceviche bar, and it was very disappointing.

I called several times to confirm if there was Ecuadorian food available (6), they never answered, the truth is I feel disappointed because I really wanted to try it.The cashier and the kitchen boy were very friendly.Although I would really appreciate if they solve the problem when someone wants to contact them in the future.
