The menu has English and Spanish which is helpful....although it was fun trying to convey our order in Spanglish and the waitress was helpful.

It has a patio in the back and is casual.

The whole space is covered in comic book art, It honestly felt like stepping into a comic store. You can't help but look around the whole time. I ordered the Choriperro, which I thought was just gonna be a Colombian-style hot dog, but it turned out to be a monster. The sausage had that nice grilled flavor, super juicy and then it was just piled with stuff, crispy fries, melted cheese, a mix of creamy sauces, and even pineapple. Every bite was amazing, salty, creamy, a little sweet, a little spicy. It definitely was a mess, but it was worth it. We didn't wait long, maybe 5 minutes after ordering, and the girl at the counter was friendly. The place was small but didn't feel cramped. If you're curious about Colombian street food, definitely try it out. And get the Choriperro. It's messy, delicious, and worth it.

Came for dinner while in town. Super cute restaurant, great lighting, seating, and bar area. Our…read morewaiter was very friendly, giving us great recommendations and great to talk with. The meal started with complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered a mezcal margarita (fruta picanta) and my friend got a mango cocktail (mangasa). I liked mine a lot, my friend didn't care for the tajin rim on hers, and the waiter offered to replace it, but she stuck with it and liked it in the end. There were so many great sounding things on the menu, with gluten free and vegetarian options. We ended up splitting the calabaza- an acorn squash stuffed with mushroom risotto and also the wild mushroom tostada. The calabaza was great for winter, warm and filling. The tostada was lighter but really delicious, it was probably my favorite of the two. It was a great dinner, that I would definitely visit again if I'm back in town.

For our entrees we tried the Barbacoa Tacos and Blackened Fish(Tilapia) tacos. Both entrees were 21.00 for 3 tacos but no rice or beans on the side so a little pricey in my opinion. Street parking is a challenge but they do offer valet for 5.00. They have a fantastic patio that is open in the summer so we will definitely be back to enjoy a few cocktails and Latin American eats.

I've eaten here twice in one week and I know this will become a regular spot. I had their grilled chicken breast, beans and salad. Under $10 and for me easily two hearty meals. My waitress made sure to answer my questions and it was sweet how excited she was to know I'm new to her family's cuisine. I looked over to a table of four and wow...they had some amazing looking steak and ribs plates that I may try in the future. My experience both times now is exactly what I'm looking for. Great food and a homey atmosphere to enjoy it in. I wasn't rushed and will return again.
