It's a family owned, small business which I love. I always want to suppprt those. Located in the basement with a bakery above it, the location is unique. It's very colorful and festive which adds to its charm. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa and it was enormous and cost $29. Pricey, but I got 3 meals out of it. It had pork belly, columbian sausage, rice, beans, a fried egg, avocado, and a fried plantain . Gigantic portions. We also ordered empanadas and they were the star of the show. I wish I lived closer to Elgin. I have no idea if I'd return, but I do recommend.

We e told the server right away and she basically told us that maracuya was there and dismissed our dissatisfaction. The food was very good, but we won't be returning die to the poor service. We had to flag her for everything, from bringing the needed silverware for those that didn't have one at our table to eventually the bill. When the craving for South American food comes back, I rather spend my money at Rio's in Addison or Colombian Taste in Itasca.

So good that we are there once a week, often pick up on the way home from long day. sweet plantations are hit or miss, when they are smaller pieces, great, when they are large half sizes pieces not as flavorful. Only questionable thing we have ever had. Try this place, whether its the steak, chicken you can't go wrong. Rice and beans, even the soup are made with care.

Service was good - and they have live music on Friday nights. For drinks, we had white wine and passion fruit pisco sours. We've had better pisco's however. For appetizers, we shared the scallops and the Ceviche Rios. All four of us loved the appetizers and the complimentary bread that came. For entrees - my husband and I shared the Milanesa a la Provenzana and the Arroz Chaufa De Mariscos. Both dishes were good - and handled a reheating the next day, but nothing outstanding.

The salmon was hands down one of the best pieces of salmon I've ever eaten--perfectly cooked and paired with coconut rice that complemented it beautifully.

Nothing wrong with the food, have had better but it was good. Service was slow and the place was really loud. Came with friends and could not hold a conversation because with other tables filled it was so loud. Parking was hard to find, ended up parking four or five blocks away. For the price and experience, would not go back.

The staff was super helpful and very friendly. We asked for suggestions of what was really tasty Colombian food and their suggestions did not disappoint. Once we stocked up on baked goods, we also saw their section of empanadas and other treats so we got a few of those. Everything was great when we got it home and a lot of it was really tasty later on in the air fryer. The empanada was amazing as was the cariminola de queso and the patata rellena (I might be spelling that last one incorrectly? Amazing fried potato and meat ball). The staff was really really nice through the whole process and reminded us that they also have pizza. I can't wait to go back to try that next time.

And so my first thought was "cheaper prices, cheaper ingredients". And tbh, the pics of the food doesn't look as welcoming as other restaurants that serve similar dishes. My assumptions were not correct. By far the best Colombian food I have had in Chicago, and I've had a lot! No wonder they are only open 2-3 days out of the week.... I've only had delivery, so I can't speak to the dining services. But I've gotten delivery at least 5 times since I first tried them about 2 months ago. The food is inexpensive, top notch in taste and they give you large portions.

We struggled with the strong bleach smell trying to eat our meal. We also ran out of beverages, and we were 1 of 2 tables in there. The chips looked and tasted like they were out of a bag, which is disappointing because it's not hard to make fresh chips. They had 4 different salsas which were tasty which was good because their food had little flavor. The rice and beans didn't even have any seasoning on them. The steak tacos didn't have much flavor either, so it was good that we had our choice of the salsas to use. The steak was without fat or gristle so that was a plus. My husband ordered a burrito that he said was bland and dry. It was good that they had to salsas but the food lacked seasoning or the flavor I expected from a restaurant with flavor in the name. I am willing to give them another try and order something different, but my husband isn't so willing.
