★★★★★ 5.0 Stanford Gable · Mar 2026

Just had my first experience. Appetizer was pork belly and potatoes. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. Then I shared a combination platter that included steak, sausage, pork belly, rice and beans, and avocado. It’s a huge plate of food and easily shared. I’m adding it to my regular list of best restaurants. This restaurant should be on a different rating system. It’s a true standout.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jaica Maldonado · Aug 2025

Amazing food and ambience! We love exploring different Colombian restaurants, but this one truly stands out—definitely a 10/10, the best we’ve tried so far. Daniela was our server, and she made the experience even better. She was attentive, welcoming, and made us feel completely comfortable. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ 5.0 Abhishek Dutta · Dec 2025

Highly recommend the Arepa with Chicharron. Camarones al Ajillo was also very well made along with the tostones. Definitely would love to come back.

★★★★★ 5.0 caliboy Colombia · Oct 2025

Excellent and very authentic Colombian food. I recommend you trying hot chocolate with cheese and almohabanas ( Colombian breed made of cheese and flour)

★★★★☆ 4.0 Markara D · Aug 2025

Satisfied, but what I ordered wasn't filling, and maybe that's my fault for not ordering something larger. We were the only ones there, so its hard to tell how much food you are getting if it's your first time there, and you can't take a peek at another table. I am willing to come back to try these "arepas" or even the whole chicken, and other grill items.
