Love this place! We ordered from the brunch menu (nanas breakfast and huevos pericos) and were not disappointed. Very yummy! Also the first time I’ve seen an American brunch w/ a Colombian twist which was exciting. Will definitely be back to try from the rest of the menu, specifically the empanadas and the coffee The space is super cute and welcoming, and the restaurant staff is lovely too. Feels super homey. Looks like a great place to dine with a friend or treat yourself to a solo date~

Ordered the skirt steak and it was really good super flavorful and cooked just right. The empanadas honestly took me back… they tasted like the ones I had in Medellín, which I don’t say lightly. Everything felt authentic, not overdone, just solid Colombian food done right. Definitely a place I’d come back to.

Either this was a prank or it's extremely embarrassing, cause I WILL NEVER BUY HERE AGAIN $32 for that meat platter it's an insult to consumers. Sad I can't upload a picture from another Colombian restaurant not far from this one that sell that same meat platter for couple of dollars more but 3x times. more the amount of food. Well lesson learn First and Last time buying from this place. **UPDATE*** Second picture is a. MEAT PLATTER from a near by Colombian restaurant for about 10 dollars more as anyone can see 3x the quantity and it has PREMIUM meat cuts & Great taste

I believe this is a family-owned spot, and it truly feels like it! Located right in East Meadow and close to home, this place was such a great find. We ordered empanadas—both flour and corn, de carne and cheese with jalapeño—and they were incredible. Honestly the best empanadas I’ve had on Long Island. The chicharrón was also out of this world… crispy, flavorful, and one of a kind. Their homemade ají salsa was top-notch, and the pink sauce was just as amazing. We also tried the passion fruit drink, and it was perfection. The restaurant has a cozy, vintage, Colombian-style vibe that makes you feel right at home. Service was great too. I would 100% come back—especially for the empanadas and chicharrón. A true gem in East Meadow!

We’ve eaten twice- once we had take out and once we dined in. The restaurant is small but decorated so beautifully. I had a natural juice- mango flavored - it was so delicious. The food is excellent, and the service was great too. The empanadas are amazing, I loved the chicken and rice. My husband also enjoyed his beef and shrimp dish. The banana bread pudding was also very good. We are looking forward to going back soon and trying more of their dishes. My husband is from Colombia and I’ve visited a few times- this food makes me feel like I’m back down there. 👍👍 delicious
