Delicious and well cooked. The chicken and shrimp in garlic sauce was very good. We ordered the sobrebarriga that was very soft and tasty. The fresh limeade was awesome. Service was pretty good. The atmosphere is calm and they played Spanish music videos of various artists. Price was very affordable. They have daily lunch specials at great prices.

We were driving by and just wanted to pick up some pastries and a snack. I see there are several mixed reviews. We loved the chicken empanadas, lots of flavor and great texture. The service was nice, the staff explained what each pastry had and that was very helpful since we are not Colombian. Looking forward to coming back to check out their meals next time. Will have to edit later to give feedback on the pastries.

One of the best meals I’ve had in years. The Arepas were amazing and the seafood soup (cazuela de mariscos) was phenomenal. I also had a limonada de panela, which was delicious. Although, I was a bit disappointed on the cow tongue cause the meat didn’t have much flavor as it hadn’t absorbed the sauce, but the tenderness was on point. I’m definitely coming back.

Finally I made it to Orlando to visit my family, and as always, I try to find Colombian food everywhere I go, tasting the different Sopas de Mondongo I can find. This is the first time I came to this restaurant. The food was good, specially the soup, the attention was excellent. Another thing I love from Colombian places is the bakery, specially Pan de Bono. In this case, the pan de bono was not my favorite, it had a sweet filling that I did not expect and which is not traditional, at least I wish I was told it has that filling, I could have chosen to order something else or they probably gave me the wrong type by mistake (not plain). Anyway, it was still good after I removed the filling.

Nice atmosphere. Waiters are a 10! This place needs more staff to run. At least 1 person cleaning up tables and at the register then 1 for the bakery and takeout orders. Also 1 more waiter. That’s why I give this girls a 10. The place was busy, I mean all tables full (a party of 10 people and 9 more tables of 4) During the hour I was in the place this girls had to deliver 4 take out orders plus assist the diner and also about 3 orders from the bakery. They did a good job and never lost their cool. They were charismatic and deliver a good service to all customers present. It took them a little bit to take the order but they did. And never lost contact with the table while waiting on our orders. Also they recommended the special which was delicious. They have a great menu and plenty of options to choose from. The food is flavorful and I am not disappointed at all. I will go there again! Place is clean and the food presentation is very clean. Price wise is affordable and worth the money. The special was 6.99 and included soup meat rice plantains and salad. And natural juice 3.00 total for 2 with appetizers 27.00.
