Excellent excellent food! This is my second time coming here . I got the Cazuelita La Toxic, Passionfruit juice & arepas appetizer... I like the vibes, the atmosphere and even though it was very busy, Carlos was very attentive server and service was great! Thank you , Carlos!

It was not crowded on the Thursday that I visited here. We wanted some Colombian food and this place was good. Ask for the spicy sauce to add the meat and the fresh juices.

Presentation was traditional looking. My husband a Colombian native enjoyed his meal. We traveled 2.5 hours to come try out Colombian restaurants. The music was good, the environment was welcoming.

Our recent dining experience, shared with a colleague, involved three distinct dishes: the Bandeja Paisa, Picada, and Empanada de Carne. While the experience was not entirely optimal, certain aspects warrant commendation. The empanadas, for instance, were executed exceptionally well, exhibiting a desirable crispness and a flavorful beef filling. Regarding the Bandeja Paisa, the beans and rice were prepared to a high standard, offering a delicious and flavorful component. However, the blood sausage and certain meat cuts within the Bandeja Paisa were served at a suboptimal temperature. Furthermore, the chicharrón presented in this dish was notably greasy, lacking the desired meat content and crispy texture. The Picada, conversely, offered a more favorable experience, particularly with its c
