The service was a little slow but very friendly. We were just checking the place out so we ordered small plates.I ordered the Chicharron con Arepa. That was good chicharron. It came with a small arepa.The Morcilla con Arepa tasted good. It was like a blood sausage with a white little arepa.I liked the empanadas. We were able to order different ones to try. They were nice and crispy. The cheese empanadas were my favorite.The tres leches were not so good. It tasted as if it was left uncovered in the fridge and it had absorbed the flavor of something else.The restaurant has a happy hour. I got her around the time.I got a half-off Margaritas. It was a good drink.The restaurant has plenty of street parking. A parking garage is near.

When I say I couldn’t stop eating the food once I started, I mean it. Exactly what I was craving. Good service, especially LEIDY!! She was awesome.

Well this was my first time trying this place and to be honest my husband can cook a better meat ? at home. Not sure why on TV they show this please as a great spot to eat Colombian food. I would not recommend this place to any tourist visiting the Downtown Hollywood. Also the service is no good and eating outside with all the flies outside. I asked to be sit inside I did have my service animal with me and they said no animals allowed inside and can you believe there was not even one soul inside. So again this will be my last time ever come back to this place. Wish I could just not give any starts at all.

Food and drinks ok. The staff is most attentive, however how slow the service can be. The parking is terrible, but it is to be expected, given that it is in the heart of Hollywood night life. Never do take out, the orders come way slower and not at their best. It feels like a Colombian version of Twin Peaks

Great Columbian Restaurant in the heart of downtown Hollywood. We arrived during happy hour which is 4 to 7pm, M-F. Margaritas $3.99 and some food specials. Great service by friendly staff. The portions were very generous as you can see by the pictures. We enjoyed our meals and took half home. Prices were also good. We recommend & will return.

The restaurant we had in mind for lunch was closed so we had to choose something else from what was open and nearby. Well we chose poorly. The menus were food stained, and almost entirely in Spanish (yes I realize it is Colombian cuisine, but it was a lunch menu, not the full menu with English subtitles). I ordered chicken arepas and the house salad. The chicken was just shredded and steamed without much added to make it interesting and it had to be eaten with a fork because when you pick it up it dribbled juices everywhere. The salad was tomato slices on some shredded lettuce with vegetable oil and white vinegar salad dressing. I don't remember what my wife ordered but she ate it. It was 1:00 pm on a Wednesday, there was no crowd, but service took forever. When it came time to pay, there wasn't one working ink pen in the joint to sign the credit slip. How does a place this inept stay open?

I ate here for the first time last night. I had grilled chicken with beans and a salad as sides. I found the food to be simply prepared and quite flavorful. Service in the outdoor seating area was excellent.

Quick service, good food, not too crowded for a Sunday, spent a quality time with family

Surprisingly a very good churrasco, the service is ok.

Probably the worst customer service I’ve ever had in a Colombian restaurant . We wanted to sit outside since inside was empty only 2 tables and it was not a vibe . We were only a party of 3 by the way . We liked it outside, there were tables available but the hostess/server said there were no tables available , when there clearly was . She was preoccupied with other things and didn’t pay attention to us and told us to sit inside and she will be with us . NOTE: I worked as a hostess in a restaurant before and I try to be understanding when I see a busy/understaffed place . But the way we were greeted was not it . Walk ins came after us and they sat themselves outside in the available table we wanted . We sat inside . They took forever to get the order and to bring the empanadas . The food took around 45 minutes and the plantains were COLD. She brought us manzanas postobon room temperature with NO ice or cup . She never checked up on our table and we had to continuously call her . The food was ok , not enjoyable . The meat was thin and dry . Do not recommend !
