This place is always amazing with the most amazing Colombian food I’ve ever had a little pricey $$ but worth it plus they have amazing music. As a musician if you don’t enjoy some good salsa music you’re missing out!!

Unbelievably good empanadas, so good first time we went, we went twice

Ordered the calentado and it hit the spot. Also got flan, it was good but not amazing.

Overall, a great place to grab food with real traditional Colombian food. The chicharrón was soooo good and they provided a healthy serving of it as well.

Not a ton of Colombian restaurants in the PNW, I am sure glad I found this one. Will come back and try other dishes in the very near future.

If your Colombian like me and want food that looks, smells, and tastes familiar - this is the place. If you are curious about Colombian food - this is the perfect place to experiment. Great atmosphere: laid back, full of Colombian colors and the staff is very friendly.

Authentic and delicious Colombian food

This was my second time coming here and it required an hour detour for my travel- I knew it was out of the way for me but I did it anyway and it was so so worth it. I love Colombian empanadas because they are made with corn and they are deep fried, not like other empanadas that are made with flour and baked. I tried them for the first time in Florida and craved them ever since. I found this spot and will keep coming back. Do yourself a favor and get the beef empanadas and make sure you dip it in the chimichurri sauce!!!!!!

We arrived about 35 minutes before closing, hoping to sit down for dinner, but were told they were only accepting takeout orders for empanadas. That was a bit disappointing, but we decided to go ahead and order the six-empanada deal for $17.99. We chose two beef, two ranchera, and two lechona.

I tried a ranchera while it was still hot, and unfortunately, it was one of the toughest empanadas I’ve ever bitten into. The filling lacked flavor, and it tasted like it had been sitting in the freezer for too long. When we got home, the empanadas were still warm, but my wife struggled to finish even half of one because the texture was rough on the roof of her mouth. She did enjoy the white sauce that came on the side, while I preferred the pink.

Of the three flavors, the lechona was the most underwhelming, even more so than the ranchera. The beef had the best flavor, and dipping it in the sauce helped. I wish we had the chance to try more of their menu, but based on this experience alone, I’m not sure we’ll be back.

The service was slow and a little short with me. I didn't feel like this was a place I would come back to without a good reason. I had the empanadas.

I tried to sit with my service dog, and they took it as a joke, they didn't believe that my dog ​​actually provides me a service, and even showing my certificate, considering it is completely illegal, I still showed it and they made fun of me. me saying “yes, well I have that too” in reality they did not respect my condition, how unethical. My dog ​​is completely trained to be in places like this and there weren't even people there that he could make uncomfortable. Apparently they are not very familiar with what it means to have a service dog. And the terrible attention, mocking my condition, questioning it for God's sake what world they live in. Don't you understand what this could affect a person? APPALLING

The food was excellent, it is a very delicious meal, but the service was HORRIBLE!!
The waitress was very rude, she did not bring us the coffees we had ordered since we arrived, she never offered us drinks to accompany the meals, we had to take them on our own, they took a long time with the dishes and unlike the attention when the owner is there, He is very friendly, when we went to pay they were very rude.
The waitress's attitude when ordering something made us feel very uncomfortable.
The food is really very delicious but because of the attention we will not return to the place.
Many thanks to Mr. for the previous times we went and he treated us so well, but the current staff leaves a lot to say...
