Quiet, funky (in a good way) Columbian street food Take out or eat in. Our food was great and the staff person was super helpful to me as I was new to Colombian food. Decor is easygoing with casual seating at small tables. There were four of us and we had enough room for all of our food and utensils. I chose a spicy sauce and so used it sparingly. I definitely want to return to try more items. I wish I lived closer!

My husband and I were visiting Maine for the first time and I am glad I found this restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere and comforting food for the latin soul. Any others I think you would enjoy the delcious street food... so give it a try!

We loved the veggie arepas — full of fresh vegetables, tasty creative sauces and great portion size. Each arepa was $17 + $4 for the cheese which made them overpriced at $24 hence the 4 stars and not 5. Columbian iced coffee was delicious. Service, atmosphere and location were good.

I wasn't sure what to expect but I wanted something different and usually anything from south of the border doesn't disappoint. Foolishly I was expecting mexican I guess. A small limited menu, but it did not disappoint. I forgot already what the item was called but it was A Pocket full of , pork and chicken, and I want to say pico de gallo. Different sauces to choose from. It did not disappoint. It was huge. Definitely didn't need to order anything else. You can tell they make this stuff with pride. I didn't get a chance to try any of the dishes with plantaine. As I was walking out, I kind of regretted not ordering something else for later. I would highly recommend this place. I am craving more
