Reviews
This is food that's cooked by passionate people. It's a meal that displays as good as it tastes. That's is a locals spot, it tastes great the prices are good. What more do you want? I'll be back as long as I'm in this area!
Incredible meal for what you pay. It's always a good sign when just about everyone else is not primarily an English speaker. I'll be back.
Great service and even better food! Don't let the humble setting fool you. The paella was one of the best we've ever had and the Sangria was perfect as well.
This was my first time at this wonderful restaurant. My Colombian friends invited me. Whenever I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop by. The food was delicious, and the price inexpensive, with friendly staff and a nice ambience. They offer some wonderful Colombian products as well. We even had authentic Colombian beer. A wonderful experience. Color me content.
#1 Food, Service & Ambience! Authentic latin fare. We had arroz con pollo, empanadas, mango & passion fruit juices, salads & flan for dessert. We shared the arroz con pollo as the serving size is HUGE & affordable. Don't miss this gem of a restaurant--we're going back soon!
