I hate to have to give a bad review but hopefully this is the way to have the owners take notice. This WAS my place to go. Everything was great, salads, drinks, salads, picadas... you name it, they had it. The taste was on point, and the prices were doable. BUT over the last 2 months they have shown time and time again that they are in a constant decline. I ordered 4 soups at the beginning of February, and it was burnt. I called to complain and ask them to NOT sell the soup to other customers. I swore I wouldn't go back, but my kids love their salchipapas, so I ordered that. Once again disappointment.They are the only Colombian restaurant around this area, and I was hoping to continue buying from there, but when you can't get salchipapas right and actually put the sauces inside the bag, there is no hope for the place.

Good food, good drinks, great service, bellas

the food has a very special and homemade flavor highly recommended !

Delicious food, nice atmosphere,friendly staff

Did not enjoy the food drinks are small I will not go back

Only leaving one star cuz I cannot leave 0 the food is horrible extremely expensive for small portions. ordered a fajita didn't give me bread with my fajita the reasoning was this not a Mexican spot so they don't give bread to people . So I asked them to give me bread and I'll pay extra for it just cuz I didn't want to eat my food without bread and they refused unbelievable. on top of that we ordered five orders, only four came. one of my companions had to wait almost 20 minutes for his food AFTER we were done eating. on top of all of this they gave us 1 salsa sauces for five people small little plastic cups. cut it short don't eat here very bad don't go keep away. And the servers were despicable unhelpful attitude. The worst experience I ever had a eating at any restaurant. I ordered rice and beans since I had two sides and they still charge me extra for one side this place is unbelievably horrible what a nightmare again save yourself the headache don't eat here!!!

Great food at great prices.Waiters were very friendly and attentive. I would definitely visit again.

Good food reasonably priced...

They change ownership for the third time. No space for dancing anymore. Like the former owner did lots of table space out side. Good music but no area for dancing.

This place was really good when they first opened up, but now is a nightmare, my past 2 experiences rotten meat literally, one of my friends ended up in the hospital food poison the other one bad stomach ache, i hate leaving bad reviews but at this point is not a coincidence or a one time thing , they need to pay attention to their process and management because is only a matter of time for the town to get involve. I hope they can turn it around and take better care of the food.
