The service was good, and the person who attended us was very kind and polite, but the food was truly disappointing. The flavor was awful for what I ordered, and honestly, for almost $80, the quality didn’t match the price. I left feeling like I had wasted my money. I wouldn’t recommend it for the food, though I do appreciate the kindness of the staff.

Regular, not that difficult to enter. Food was ok, edible. Nothing delicious, Very pricy over $60 for two people is a lot. Including de drink a $7 hot water with cane sugar and a thin mozzarella cheese slice. I didn't really like it at all. I won't come back to this restaurant. I got a soup called sancocho for the description sounded really good, but it didn't. It had a plain flavor.

My favorite takeout dish is Pollo Guisado, but the potatoes are often undercooked to the point of being inedible.
Empanadas are great, but expensive.

I was excited to try another Colombian restaurant and decided to check this place out yesterday. I ordered two bandeja paisa plates to go, along with yuca frita, Colombian beer, Colombian cola, and guanabana juice. I specifically requested no pork and asked if chicken could be substituted instead. I confirmed multiple times with the waiter to make sure the order was correct.
The beer was smooth and enjoyable, and the live music added a nice touch of Colombian culture to the atmosphere. However, the food experience was disappointing. The to-go portions were noticeably smaller than dine-in, and despite my request, both plates came with chorizo. When I returned to clarify, I also learned that the beans contained pork, so I ended up canceling the entrées.
At other Colombian restaurants, like El Patio, substitutions for chicken are made without issue, and I don't have to repeat myself multiple times. Here, I was told that substituting chicken would cost extra or that I could have chicken only if carne asada was removed. This was surprising and frustrating—especially after waiting about 25 minutes for the food. If I had been told this upfront, I would have gone elsewhere.
It seems the waiter either didn’t understand my request or the restaurant doesn’t accommodate non-pork options. If you enjoy pork, this may be a great spot. But if you don’t eat pork, I would not recommend it, and unfortunately, I don’t see myself returning.

Me and my sister came here and enjoyed everything. We're basically on a keto diet and the food here very keto friendly. The food was very tasty. The waiter was very attentive and helpful. Spoke English and Spanish. The arepas were good, especially the beef ones. The bandeja paisa was bomb. And my sister had the bistec de caballo, it was very good. She didn't care for the fried plantains but I loved them. More for me.

My husband and I come here times in a while as a treat, things here are very expensive. But good enough that I'm willing to come back and pay for it. The atmosphere is nice, but this is the only restaurant that I come to that has flies everywhere year round.
As the rating says, it was just ok. I started with the patacones topped with chicken. The chicken was underseasoned and the start of the show was dried or too soft. The cheese bread was adequate but as soon as it cooled, it became quite hard. The main entree was just ok. Nothing I couldn't cook at home, probably better. The pork belly was not crispy enough to eat as the fat was barely rendered. Everything else was overcooked and underseasoned. The server did not bring the beverage until after the meal was out. He checked with me once to see if all was well. Overall, an uneven experience. I'll try one more time. Hopefully, a different time will make a difference (I arrived around 7:30). I'm hoping for improvement as it is but a block from my location.

“I ordered a pan de bono, and they gave me one that wasn’t fresh—they just heated it in the microwave. I ordered a calentado, and it was kind of cold; the food doesn’t seem fresh. It doesn’t taste fresh. But the ají was really good. The arepas also seem to have been heated in the microwave.” GAS!!!!

Terrible customer service, we go because it is the only nearby place we have but we always leave regretful, the food does not have a bad taste but nothing to do with Colombian dishes.

I wish all Colombians would find out, I DO NOT recommend this Restaurant at all although I have given it many opportunities and I always regret it, the food is not even a shadow! Ours is a very bad copy, the service is terrible, I have had several problems with them, they DO NOT accept advice or opinions about the presentation of the typical dishes, they say that it is like that and that's it, they are not Colombians, on one occasion I paid the tip twice because the receipt already included it and since I paid by application I tipped again (yes, I was wrong) but when I made the claim they totally refused to give me a refund, they charged a $70 dollar tip! Another day we arrived at 9:30 and they let us come in, sit down and order... and then tell us that they closed at 10 and we had to evacuate, we had to choke because they started to lift the tables and chairs and clean up very rudely, another day they took our order almost 20 minutes after we arrived, they settled for bringing us water to the table ☹️ and today being at the door at 10:39 I They saw me standing there and ignored me. I just wanted to ask if there were tamales and the price to see if I should wait until 11 when they open. They just totally ignored me, I mean they had a hard time responding to me? What hateful people and what a shame that people still continue to think that Colombian food is like that, they do NOT represent us. Why do I come back? for stupid
