The staffs don’t want to accept the certification, it was twice,
Nice, intimate little restaurant. I think we were the only non-Colombians in there, which speaks well to the authenticity of the food.

Presentation, flavor of food exceeded expectations. The meats were tender,and sauces delicious. Mom loved the grilled veggies
food was very good and the server was very friendly, Flan was exceptional.
Enjoyed the food and employees were very friendly and helpful. Really like the variety of plantains they offer.
The empenadas are so good next time I will order several with a side of rice and eat that as my meal. Also the guyabana drink is very good. Enjoyed the plantain chips as complementary appetizer. Sweet plantains and salsa are delicious also!
The food was very good and loved the plantains (both the sweet and green ), the plantain chips served before meal was different and had good flavor with the dipping sauce. main meal was chicken - very tender and juicy, Salad was fresh. The salmon meal was plentiful with 3 more green plantains and a generous helping of fresh vegetable. Servers were friendly. will definitely eat here again and try the steak next time.
Food was great. Huge portions of chicken. Very good deals
We got there 40 min before closing and while we were eating apparently they were in a rush to leave because they start mopping with a strong cleaner that we could feel in our mouth and i told politily the girl that was cleaning is she could stop mopping while we eat because the smell of the cleaner was too strong and then she had an attitute with us,seh stopped cleaning around us but was still cleaning another area of the room. The smell was strong that we lost our appetite and have to leave. I won't go back.
once our order was placed it took at least 30 minutes to get our food. waitress never came back to fill our glasses of water. she felt bad because it took so long to get our food they gave us free dessert
We had never had Colombian cuisine before. The waitress did a good job recommending some traditional dishes that we ended up ordering. The food was really good, I'd recommend trying this, particularly if you're in the mood for some beef.
Excellent food, great prices, quiet atmosphere
Tonight was chicken, skirt steak, a few empanadas & shrimp. Both food & service were great & enough left to take home.
The food was tremendous. So flavorful! Amazing lunch menu (and prices).Can't wait to go back again and try other menu items
good food nice waitress

Friendly staff. flavorful food
fried fish was dry and steak was overcooked
Food was good but seemed to take a fairly long time to receive food.
Food was very good, really enjoyed the rice and beans with chicken. We'll be back.
Server was great. She mae excellent recommendation since we were unfamiliar with Columbian food. She was also very attentive. The food portion was extremely generous.
Great waitress and food was delicious and fresh.
Excellent food, large portions, friendly service.
Authentic Colombian fare
Good Columbian food - not Mexican as a few social web sites advertise. Had salmon and bandeja paisa. Both were delicious with very generous portions.
Once again, great food & service.
A very tasty option to enjoy lunch or dinner. Great south american style food in a clean and calm atmosphere.
Food was excellent

Very nice employees & excellent food. I ordered the skirt steak & took some chicken home. Both were cooked perfectly & tasted great. I can't wait to go back.
This is a really nice restaurant, a bit of a hidden gem, the service was great and the food was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised and my wife and I plan on visiting again.
