Great food, had to use Google translator until a bilingual person came in. Unfortunately, language barrier caused over billing.

Small and cozy, big portions, Amazing service and Food

The steak was extremely chewy on my bandeja paisa also the cilantro sauce had an old flavor to it. I wish the chicharron was cooked longer as it was too soggy.

I would not recommend “arroz con pollo”. At first, the rice had no chicken in it, then when the error was addressed, the chicken was old and practically non-existent and flavorless. The maduros were good but for $12.25 one would expect much better. I will apply the tule of “16.”

Small restaurant with big great flavor and delicious latin food. The Bandeja Paisa is a Colombian typical dish and they make it real good. Lots of flavors, rice, beans, sweet plantain, steak, chorizo, fried egg, but they missed the avocado and morcilla and still charge the same for the plate. They also have puertorican dishes. The roast pork lunch special is really good. I recommend it and will come back soon. A bit pricey in my opinion for lunch. Only 1 server doing everything so she doesn't come back to the table to check.. Other than that the place is really good.

Delicious Colombian food, the bandeja paisa was amazing!!! I'll be back for some more..

The Mofongo was so good. So moist and buttery. Incredible, my whole families food was amazing. I don't care how long I'd have to wait, the food is worth it!

I only tried the chicken mofongo with sauce. The sauce is a small amount of chicken broth.I never leave reviews. So this place touched my soul with their meal. Like seriously. That thang was gooooooood

It is good food but this week I order Bandeja paisa and the eeg was over cook, not round beef not avocado so it's not a bandeja Paisa, price are to high, empanadas was good and the juices too. Total expend in one bandeja paisa 4 empanadas and 2 juices $32

Wonderful Latino food! Not Mexican, Latino is what I call it, at least. I believe the influences are Central America and the Caribbean.
