Overall not a bad experience I just enjoy the unique modern dishes that LCPX cafe offers more than what's offered here. I went with two other people and we shared the app and main entree and still had leftover food so the portions are HUGE!

The chicken here is unfortunately dry and not seasoned too well. The best part was probably the beans and rice.

When I arrived, the hostess told me there were no tables available - which is completely understandable. However, there were two empty seats at the bar, so I politely asked if I could sit there instead. She told me the manager is not allowing anyone to be seated and that I had to wait in the waiting area. The frustrating part is the waiting area had no view of any TVs, and when I went to stand in view of the game, I was told I couldn't. I wasn't asking to take someone's reserved table. I simply wanted to watch the match while waiting. It felt unnecessarily inflexible and unwelcoming, especially during one of the biggest sporting events for the Colombian community. I ended up leaving and watching the game elsewhere. Very disappointing customer service.

I still love the sancocho de res(Beef stew) here. The prices are still pretty decent considering how much everything cost now. They have two sizes, small and large and the small is def more than enough($8). I love leftovers, but never seem to finish these kind of leftovers. It comes with white rice, beans, and plantains. We also ordered the sancocho de gallina(chicken). The chicken has bones. The beef in my soup is tender and no bones and no fat so pretty effortless. We also ordered a small lechona. It really is just a bunch of rice and some shredded pork and the skin. No big deal and not a repeat. I wish we didn't order it because that was just way too much rice with our orders. We love ordering almojabana usually(Colombian cheese bread). We didn't buy any this time, and I usually get a passion fruit smoothie. I didn't love my experience here this time. It is always crowded which is good for them. But the volume is so loud in here. But it's very good, traditional, and less expensive. No frills no atmosphere, not updated, just good Colombian food. Parking can be difficult here too so be patient.

It was good but the description needs to be changed so there is no confusion. Black beans and the garlic rice were spit on good.

Everything was well seasoned and cooked to my desired temperature. The ambiance was casual so don't expect to have a romantic dinner.

No fancy décor, no overdone plating--just honest, soul-warming food the way abuelita would make it.

Each bite was loaded with flavor, and they didn't skimp on the fillings either (respectfully, some of y'all out there are serving tortillas with trust issues). The curtido came bagged up and packed with crunch and tang--exactly what you need to cut through that melted cheese goodness. Prices are humble, portions are generous, and while it may be a small spot, the flavors are huge. Whether you're a pupusa purist or just learning what curtido even is--this little cafeteria deserves a big spot on your food map. Bonus points: you'll leave full, happy, and maybe even planning your return trip before you've finished your last bite.
