Saw steak on the menu. When I asked for that order, they told me they did not have that steak but instead they had skirt steak. I went for it and did not regret. It was hands down one of the best skirt sticks I have ever had. I don't know if this is always or if I was lucky. It was that good. It was thicker than I usually get out of the places as well as more perfectly cooked and at the perfect temperature. Also the picture is incorrect. The current picture is of their old location. They have moved up the block to bigger location. This location also has parking and an outdoor area. I will be going back to have another of the same or possibly to sample the menu a bit.

Pretty good experience! Food was tasty and fresh. Service was lovely. Everyone was nice and attentive. Only complain i have is that one of our plates was missing an item. Other than that everything was great!

For breakfast, my favorite place. Los Huevos Rancheros y Maduro con queso would be my last meal if I had to choose one. Very strong coffee as well, love it. Service? Angelic. This is a great place and be sure to visit while the weather is good, to enjoy the portico.

I bought a "Picada", I don't know why it claims to be a Colombian restaurant, because I have not seen the first restaurant that sells "picada" with that enormous amount of onion and peppers... almost 1/3 of the total order ..... I always thank God for food, but in this case, very unpleasant and greasy...

I order chivo with moro de habichuelas negra. The meat didn't taste fresh and was a little hard still. My friend order rabo with white rice and beans. She didn't like the rabo taste. The juice was good.
