Everything was delicious and authentic, nice atmosphere, good service and drinks. A little bit stiff attitude or vibe but all and all very good!

Very cool spot. We stopped into the bar for drinks before a concert across town and were very impressed. Neither one of us are generally big drinkers of agave-based spirits, but our cocktails were fantastic! I loved my Oaxaca old fashioned. It was a gutsy twist on the classic cocktail, but it absolutely landed.Their impressive library of tequilas and mezcals prompted me to ask if they had a list I could see. They did, and I noticed that they even had some lesser-known agave spirits, and that you could try them in a flight. They were out of the raicilla, so we got a mezcal for comparison. The sotol was fresh and clean, better than most of the tequila I've had. The bacanora was likewise better than most of the mezcals I've had, including the one that was in the flight. It was sweet, smooth and had a more pronounced but still very pleasant smokiness.All-in-all a unique experience for people who are either a bit more adventurous, or already are knowledgeable appreciators of agave-based spirits.

We dined at COA a few weeks ago and it was amazing!! Really enjoyed the creative flares on their craft cocktails. The guacamole was the best I’ve had in Columbia! Portion sizes are great for the price point—seriously generously sized. Our waiter Cade was very attentive, making sure we received everything we ordered in a timely manner.Overall great experience, will be coming back!

Food - 5. Tasty, but order the moment you arrive, it takes a long time to get your food. Arrival of drinks - 2. It takes so long that instead of ordering 3 or 4 drinks for the evening, the most you can squeeze in is 2. Waitressing - 3. Yes, they check your table frequently. But each time they appear, you’re hoping they’ve got your drink this time… This restaurant could make a LOT more money bringing drinks in a timely manner. When you’re out for dinner on a Friday night, you would hope to get your drink in 5-10 minutes, not 20-30 minutes. Advice: the moment they bring your first drink, order the second drink.

First time eating here...We loved the atmosphere... Everything was perfect for our anniversary

This is a really cool, unique Mexican restaurant! Drinks were top-tier, and the food was well-prepared and tasted great. The lighting and decor really added to the cool atmosphere, and we would definitely go back. Awesome waitstaff and bartenders!

Love the design and layout of the restaurant. My food was savory, service was great. I felt very welcomed. Unique menu. Taste like South America.

If you want to go to a fine dining Mexican restaurant, this is the place! When I go to Mexican restaurants the portion sizes are usually big but since this place is fine dining the portion sizes are small. However, it's worth it because each dish that I got (which I circled on the menu, sorry it's kind of blurry) is packed with a lot of flavor and I was full afterwards ! I definitely loved the empanadas because the crust was so fluffy and flaky and had the right crunch! The outside tasted like a mild flavored funnel cake and the inside tasted like good gooey cheese and greatly seasoned steak! The tlayudas had great flavor as well and the Chipotle slaw on it balanced the flavors off. In addition, I like that they put guacamole dots on about every dish because you can dip your taco in it and it tastes delicious with the seasoned food as the dip is nice and fresh. Overall,it's a great place, great food, the staff was friendly, and it has a nice ambience for a great date night, it's nice and dark and it sets the mood.

My new happy hour spot for tacos and craft cocktails on Lady Street. We went for national margarita day and the food was amazing. Prices were a little higher than we expected but it was worth it.

We had drinks and appetizers on Saturday night and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Drinks were tasty and service was excellent! Love the dim lighting.
