I have been craving empanadas for two weeks and finally had a moment. Googled what was near by and…read moredecided to give this place a try. The empanadas were cooked very well but lacked the most important part, flavor. And then I wasn't even given any sauce! Craving unsatisfied Next I saw they had arepas on the menu and item I've been on the hunt for good ones in Jax. Seems I can only find good ones in Orlando and further south. My arepa was so dry and hard and also flavor less I could barely bite it and I couldn't chew it up to save my life. The beef inside well cooked but lacking again the most important part. Other than HOLY SALT! Also ordered bbq wings for my husband basic with soggy fries that tasted like they were microwaved. Unsatisfied, still hungry, wasted money, now I'm sad.

I am glad they serve breakfast and lunch, and that there are grocery items, but I only came here for "baked" goods. I ordered basic Colombian items, pan de bono, pan de yuca, buñuelo. They weren't amazing. On the other hand, if you like empanadas, or want lunch, this place may be the spot for you.

I'm from Miami where good Latin food is basically on every corner fighting for your attention so my expectations were HIGH. I decided to gamble on DoorDash and stumbled across this Colombian spot. Dear Jesus what have I been missing? First, I ordered the tostones with chicharrón and let me tell you those pork pieces were crunching louder than my knees getting out of bed in the morning. Absolutely amazing. Then came the breakfast plate with rice and beans, scrambled eggs, and steak. That steak was so good I almost stood up in my hotel room and started singing romantic Spanish ballads to the container. At this point, I'm not even ashamed to admit I'm probably ordering from this same place again tomorrow and maybe the next day too while I'm here working. The delivery driver is about to know me by first name. 100% recommended. Whoever is cooking back there deserves a raise and possibly a vacation.

Now for the arepas we got a chicken one and a beef, then shared, let me say both were incredible! The corn cakes were thin and cooked perfectly and held up to the massive amounts of filling stuffed inside. So flavorful the chicken salad with avocado delicious, the beef with cheese and sweet plantains, so many flavors and textures, one bite and you just wanted more! We destroyed these, no leftovers, so good! oh definitely get some of the cilantro sauce too! loved it , can't wait to visit again!

A good sign. I had the Bandeja Paisa, and it did not disappoint. Even though I was hungry, I wasn't sure I'd be able to finish my meal. (Spoiler: I did ) The staff kept my iced tea filled, and there is a bakery/pastry station at the rear. I was a -little- surprised to see a 3.5% 'convenience' fee included in the pricing when the bill arrived. Didn't see any mention of that posted anywhere, but I didn't go looking for such a notice, either. Not enough of an INconvenience to prevent a return visit. There is another location on Beach Blvd.

And it was very authentic and popular with people of the culture (that's a way I know that it's authentic and good.
