Two couples, our wife's are natives, my friend and I are the gringos in the bunch lol. OK, so the white sangria was excellent, and an appetizer tower which had all the native treats was great.. My main course was "Mar Y Tierra " salad, which had a very tasty house dressing and loaded with tender,tasty strips of steak, and marinated shrimp.. Dessert was ordinary. The service was great, no issues as per other reviewers. If you like a lively "columbian party" there's actually a small dance floor with a dj, and I'm told that some nights they have a live singer that glides thru the dining area. Our wives loved it and all in all we had a very good time and a nice meal.. pardon me if I don't know the names of everything we ate,, but I have a pic or two. Def worth a try if you like Columbian/Spanish food,, or if you are from that region of the world.

He brought us a tablet with the menu nice lots of choices just scroll and tap! There was a piña colada brought to me with a little Hennessy bottle on top but the server Katherine quickly realized I probably didn't order that lol So we started with 2 piña colada's 1 virgin with whipped cream and one regular with rum! Both delicious! Then nachos de carne which had chunks of beef in it with the delicious combination of cheese beans and everything else ! For our main dish we both had skirt steak with rice and red beans we ordered a side of maduro ( sweet plantain) the steak was very tender and everything was seasoned well loved it! We didn't get dessert too stuffed but we will be back! This is a lively place with a sports bar vibe (lots of screens ) as well as family friendly but NOT loud or rowdy. They have an area in front for parking and also on the street ( metered on weekdays) if u enjoy columbian food this is a safe bet any day!

They offered a FIFA 2026 special- they have their arepitas appetizer and a 20oz souvenir cup filled with your choice of frozen margarita (I got the guava) for $26. Other items enjoyed here is their guacamole and tortilla chips, chicken enchiladas (came with rice and beans) and the tres leches for dessert.

Has a lot of seafood as well as Dominican, Colombian, Mexican. Sadly, what we ordered pretty much sucked. Pernil: C+ Oh, God, it was dry. Dry, dry, dry. You get a very large portion of extremely dry meat with a "cap" of nicely crisped fat. The kind of crispy fat you'd expect from pernil. However, there is very little flavor (compared to my wife's pernil, which may be an unfair comparison, since her pernil rocks my world -- I would've married her for her pernil alone). Very little flavor, and dry, dry, dry. No pernil marinade (that I could taste). There was lime served on the side, but the pernil should be *cooked* with lime. Not enough fat. It was either vastly overcooked or reheated aggressively with dry heat. Tip to the chef: reheating things in a pan and sprinkling water on the meat yields much nicer meat than popping it in the microwave. Using a microwave to reheat meat never works. It overcooks the meat. I consider it inedible. Pollo Mexicano: C+ Similar problem as the pernil. It has a beautifully flavorful salsa, but the chicken was so dry that you have to choke down the chicken When you take a bite, it's difficult to get the chicken to go down your throat because it's bone dry. They vastly overcook the chicken and make the salsa separately. They then toss the bone dry chicken into the yummy salsa and you get cardboard chicken in a delicious salsa. I consider it inedible.

Not too frozen that you couldn't get it through the straw. It had a little cherry on top and it was a good amount. The mofongo was okay. I liked that it had sauce but the sauce was a little bland. The mound was pretty big but it was lacking a little. The shrimp were just on top, none cooked in to the little hill like I've had at other places. Reading through reviews I didn't see much about the mofongo and maybe this is why. It was alright but I've definitely had better. I didn't go to this establishment so I can't tell you much about the vibe of the place. The food was pricey at $20 for the mofongo with shrimp. But the portion was on the bigger side so maybe worth it for the portion size just not really for the flavor.
