★★★★☆ 4.0 Flowers and Kain · Sep 2023

This place was a good surprise. The buffet style eating made it easy to get in and out. The Columbian flavor was a much needed change... if you're looking for something different to eat with different flavor..try this place.... these dishes were made to perfection ... amazing... Friendly staff walked me through what the dishes were and I enjoyed my lunch... 10 to $15 per plate for takeout wasn't bad. There was places to sit and eat. This place is definitely great if you're looking for something quick to eat. The quality of the food is amazing and the meat was incredible. Nice shrimp , beef , pork. Rice beans...worth it

★★★★★ 5.0 awesome ONE An ONLY · Oct 2024

This location is what I like to call a small peace of heaven in New Haven. Not only does each dish feel like some one’s tata is the back making every dish with authentic ingredients but with love. All the food regardless of one is eating from the buffet or from the menu nothing disappoints, if you want to have your pallet travel all the way to Medellin Colombia 🇨🇴 stop by and try it all especially there buñuelo which is a amazingly balanced bread ball with infused cheese in the batter. Worth every dime!

★★★★★ 5.0 Juan Carlos Montoya · May 2024

Open wide space with plenty of room to have a large gathering. You choose the food you want, pay for it, then sit at your leisure. On weekends, the times visited, I had the Cazuela. It was wonderful. I was lucky they have the Cola & Pola. In another restaurant I have paid double for the wonderful service and great food. I will definitely drive two hours to get this food again. Colombian food I CT.

Amazing family restaurant with a friendly staff! Food is always great!

★★★★★ 5.0 Dolores Colon · Apr 2025

Welcoming staff. Clean, tempting arromatic ambiance. Practical well spaced seating. Lighting was easy not harsh on the eyes while music played unobtrusively in the background. People were talking without having to shout over the music. It's a very nice family oriented business. Oh! It's sort of buffet style except they serve the food from behind a glass barricade. Good Peruvian food at a decent price.
