    I come in all the time during the day and I order the same thing - a burger with the works - I come in this one time late at night and I get a burger that is burnt black - the empanadas were stale and old. I am upset that a place I enjoyed going during the day decided to take advantage of me when I was not sober!!!!!

    My sister has been raving about this place as having the best hot dog she'd ever had in her life. That is quite the claim! After a long delay she brought several dogs to my work for me and my co-workers. I must say that it was one delicious, and filling, hot dog! Don't expect it to be your typical dog. I'd say it's more of a hot dog interpretation. The hot dog is placed in a soft bun then cheese is melted on top along with a mixture of what we guess is mayo and crushed, almost pureed, pineapple. Sounds strange? Well then they sprinkle crushed potato chips on top! I'm not sure how they came up with this combination but it works! Even the dog she brought us, which had a 20 minute car ride, was delicious! My co-workers who tried it agreed. I'm looking forward to having another fresh off the presses!

    It's a nice place to have lunch around here. Food is Colombian authentic. Bandeja paisa is your best choice here. Burger is actually really bad. Bun is hard ( they toast them), lots of mayo and the patty it's well done you can't choose how you want it. Fries, fries are ok. So if you are around and this is one of your options, do Colombian food don't try to go for anything other than that here! Custermer service is good. They are always nice! Oooh and really good price for lunch!

    This is a great find. I had the lunch special and at just $4.99 I am very impressed. Very good Columbian menu. I had talaria, a fresh avocado salad, rice, a bean soup and fried plantains. Excellent! Staff was extremely friendly, food was great and the atmosphere is very low key.

    Tiny little Colombian spot in a shopping plaza. The place could be kept up a bit. They have a few tables inside and some tables outside. I've heard the Colombian hot dog is pretty good, but I decided to go for the burger with fries. I've had a Colombian burger before and this one tasted just as good as the others I've had. Packed with a lot of goodness. Messy burger or I just don't know how to eat a burger correctly because my ish was falling apart lol. I didn't like the fries, tasted super bland. Even after I dipped it with sauce. I've also had the Cholao before. It's crushed ice, fresh fruit, condensed milk and fruit syrup topped with shredded coconut and maraschino cherries! Mmm. It was really good especially to eat for the summer. They also sell some snacks that are popular in Colombian, chips and such. I didn't like it because they tasted super stale and then I read the bag and it's expiration date was from 2 months ago. Oh okay, let's put that to the side. Come try out the food just not the snacks.

    I really go for the columbian hot dog. It is delicious! Only complaint is that they sometimes randomly close during work days...

    Ordered from here for team lunches regularly now. I know their outward appearance might scare off…read moresome people but to the foodies out there, or those looking for good Spanish food, you got to try it! Their service is great and fast, but more importantly their food is mouth watering good. It always leaves me with a craving to come back and a full stomach ready to tackle the rest of my workday. My favorites have consisted of a Cuban sandwich which is full of pork and sauce and toasted nicely. It also does not fall apart when eating which is a plus when you are trying to stay looking presentable. Their pork is amazingly juicy and just falls apart in your mouth and has been worth every stain I have accidentally caused on my dress shirts. The white rice is fluffy and simple and good but their yellow rice is much better with many items. Their chicharron de cerdo is crispy and breaks easy and it's never been hard or chewy. Their ropa vieja is also delicious and I can't help but devour the entire plate. The rice and beans paired real good with this! My favorite sides have been the avocado salad and their macaroni salad! Both very light and balanced well with light citrus flavors in the avocado salad. I'll keep coming back here because the food honestly reminds me of so many great dishes my family use to make at home and after eating at so many places around Orlando I had yet to find a better place to get Spanish food like this!

    Went for lunch. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend the tres leches with coffee…read more The staff were friendly. The atmosphere had a really fun vibe with PR small town decor.

    Beautiful restaurant - I wish I had taken more photos inside but the place was packed (a good sign)…read moreand I try not to take pictures of random families and post them online. With that said, the food was excellent and there's a ton to choose from - it's easy to get overwhelmed, but the thing I enjoyed the most was the service and how sweet our server was (I forgot her name, but she was always so sweet and patient with our family). There were tons of folks eating mofongo so I'm sure that's a fan favorite here. We tried a few appetizers, juices, rice and beans, and shared a large platter that had multiple options for the family since it was our first visit and we didn't know what to try first. The tostones rellenos de churrasco (skirt steak stuffed fried green plantains) were delicious and come with five little cups and a dipping sauce that I'm pretty sure was mayo/ketchup. They also put a little PR flag on top which my kids enjoyed playing with. This ended up being my main meal because I wasn't that hungry, and it was the perfect bite of crispy, salty, and creamy with the dipping sauce. We also tried another appetizer that I didn't try, alcapurria de carne, which comes with two rolls cut in half (husband enjoyed it) and the Assorted Pal Campo which comes with chicharon, fried yuca, chicharron de pollo, tostones, fried cheese topped with a sweet guava sauce (that my daughter was not a huge fan of - I would ask for it on the side next time), and sausage. Definitely a heavy meal - and I felt like I needed to eat salad for the next two days straight after this meal - but it was tasty. Next time I'll ask for a side of cucumbers or something to break up all of the fried elements, or order something that comes with slaw/veggies.
