The shrimp and the octopus was perfectly "cooked" in the juice. I felt the white fish could have soaked a little more. But it was great - I loved it. We also ordered El Borracho which is a slightly different take on the standard Arroz con Mariscos. there was an abundance of seafood along with the tasty rice. Lastly we had the standard Lomo Saltado. The beef was very, very tasty and really tender. Overall, it was a fantastic meal. The interior of the restaurant is kind of a standard strip mall restaurant. So don't expect anything fancy. The parking lot was small and full. But street parking was not a problem. However, service was wonderful. For drinks, we only wanted water - our normal. The glass mugs came cold from the fridge with ice cubes. Nice touch. The food did take a long time to come from the kitchen, so that would be my only gripe.

We got a Peruvian style seafood rice (very creamy) , beef heart skewer and temele. I asked for no peas on the rice and they still gave me peas. Beef heart skewer was not on a stick and rather tough even tho it was medium well. The temele was basically all corn dough and 10% chicken. There was only 1 host/server. But food was delicious . Will comeback again.

The customer service seems non-existent here. No how are you, have you been here before. Just give you the menu and walk away. The food was mediocre. The tostadas that came with my plate were stale. The rice had hard chunks in it too. The shrimp was RUBBERY! Oh no, how can you not cook shrimp!? The ambiance is nice I give it that, but I haven't been checked up on, and as I'm writing this, still waiting for my check. Geez. Not coming here again honestly. I miss Mangos.

The upstairs was closed, and they were out of chicken (all chicken menu items). The wait time after ordering was pretty long (30+ minutes?) for our food despite being the only ones there when we ordered. Also, on the way to the bathroom there were bags of meat sitting out at room temp lol. The food was ok-- and inexpensive which was good. Again, the server was very friendly and the vibe was good, but probably will not return.

So happy to see more Colombian restaurants popping up, now in the Santa Clara area! Qué chévere!…read more This spot still serves some Mexican dishes, but now they're also adding Colombian food to the menu, which makes me very happy. I've been here three times already, and honestly, I'm impressed with the quality of the food every single time. First visit: We came for the daily special, which is only $15 USD, a great deal for everything that's included! It came with a soup and a main dish. That day, it was pollo sudado (stewed chicken) served with rice, yucca fries, spaghetti with chicken, and avocado (yes, in Colombia we love carbs!). I believe they offer this deal Monday through Friday. Second visit: I had the arepas, and they were so good! They have different fillings, I went for the Mixta, which comes with everything. Super flavorful, highly recommended! Third visit (this weekend): I came with friends and we ordered a bunch of things to share. We started with the Arepitas de la Casa, deep-fried, slightly sweet arepitas filled with lots of cheese. Delicious and comforting. Then we tried the Patacón, which used sweet plantain as the base and was topped with shredded chicken, beef, chicharrón (pork belly), chorizo, and corn. So good! We also got the Picada, which included llanera-style grilled steak and pork (both super tender), plus potatoes, sweet plantains, and yucca fries. And to top it off, it came with a warm bowl of sancocho, one of Colombia's most traditional soups. Every time I've sat outdoors, and I think the vibe is really nice, a little windy, but perfect for summer days. Service has been great every time, very welcoming, attentive, and friendly. I'm really happy to support this place and can't wait to keep coming back.

The menu is diverse and features many traditional Colombian delights. I tried the Llanero Combo, which included a comforting bowl of beef rib broth with potatoes; delicate, rich, and very pleasing to the palate. I paired it with Colombian coffee, the kind grandma used to make, and a refreshing lulo juice. The main dish was a generous combination of pork, beef, potatoes, yuca, and sweet fried plantains, served with ají and guacamole. Everything was delicious and well prepared. On top of that, the service provided by our server, Esmeralda, was exceptional; attentive, friendly, and always smiling. The atmosphere is cozy, and the Colombian-themed décor and music create a warm ambiance that brings back wonderful memories. Definitely a place worth returning to. Medallo... for sure, my friend.
