The arepas were delicious and my 7 year old and 19 month old loved them. The main course however was not my cup of tea. The bandeja paisa was not the usual hanger steak that comes with a dish like this, it was a piece of bistec which is significantly thin and it was also tough to bite into. The chicken from the pollo al ajillo had a strange taste to it as well that I couldn't pin point what it was. Everything else was good except the pieces of proteins in our dishes. For the price of over $80 for two main dishes a side of rice and beans, two arepas and two shakes I'm not sure it was worth it.

I didn't see them offering Hagao, but that would be a welcome addition. The food is always fantastic and the Mango Lemonade is so good. Most times we've dined, it's been on the empty size despite the colorful decor, which pays tribute to Colombians love of music. We were happy to see a good sized crowd on our last visit, we want them to be here for a long time.
