This place is so good ! I'm glad they moved locations because they have so much more parking ! The food was hot and fresh and they were so friendly! They speak English and Spanish! Please go get some pupusas! They've been in the community for so long ! It's delicious! I love getting the yucca con chiccaron as an appetizer! Ask for extra limes !

this was our first time here and we were really satisfied with both the food and the service. i will definitely be coming back

Empandas

$6 + tax for 3 empanadas a little bigger than size of my airpod case seems really expensive. I understand everything is more pricey now, but please ensure the proportion of the food is matching the price being paid. Additionally, the pupusas we ordered were a bit burned. My family and I have came for years. So the argument the empanadas have always been this size is definitely wrong because we have been served empanadas for years from this establishment much bigger. $ 6 + impuestos por 3 empanadas un poco más grandes que el tamaño de la caja de mis airpods parece muy caro. Entiendo que todo es más caro ahora, pero asegúrese de que la proporción de la comida coincida con el precio que se paga. Además, las pupusas que pedimos estaban un poco quemadas. Mi familia y yo ya tenemos muchos años comiendo aqui. Entonces, el argumento de que las empanadas siempre han sido de este tamaño es definitivamente incorrecto porque nos han servido empanadas durante años en este establecimiento mucho más grande.

Pupusas

This is my favorite spot of pupusas! This time I tried the caldo and it did not disappoint! And the rice was perfect!

Nice clean bathroom

My friend and I were looking for a quick, light breakfast and happened to come across this spot. We…read morenoticed it specialized in Caribbean Colombian cuisine and were excited for the chance to try something authentic. The space itself is small and cozy, but they also offer outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the nice weather. We were able to seat ourselves right away. They had light Spanish music playing in the background, which added a nice touch and made the atmosphere feel like a little escape to Colombia. We started with fresh juices. I ordered the sugarcane juice and really enjoyed it. It wasn't overly sweet in taste, even though sugarcane naturally has a high sugar content. My friend ordered the coconut lemonade. I tried a sip, and it was perfect -- especially for warm weather. You could clearly taste both the coconut and the lemonade, which blended together really well. By the time we arrived it was a bit late for breakfast, so we decided to try lunch instead. We both ordered the Caribbean tacos, and let me tell you -- they did not disappoint. The greens paired beautifully with the tacos, and the sauce was perfectly balanced and topped with sesame seeds. The pickled onions added an extra layer of flavor that really brought everything together. Whenever I'm back in town, I will definitely return. My friend already said she plans to come back to try the breakfast next time.

What a hidden gem! I discovered this little spot near my…read moreneighborhood and had a great experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere felt genuinely welcoming. The owners were there and made it clear this is truly a family-run place, which added a personal touch to the whole experience. If you're in the area, definitely stop by--authentic Colombian food done right. I'll absolutely be coming back!

Authentic Dominican/Caribbean food in Willowbrook. Who knew?…read more I remember this place from a birthday party decades ago. The space was a bit bigger (they've since redesigned it smaller), but the crowds were smaller. Success hasn't tarnished their food. It was a very rainy and soggy afternoons and the place was packed. We managed a table and ordered. Can't go wrong with the delicious shrimp mofongo. I honestly think the sauce is the icing on that cake, made all the more delicious with a squeeze of lemon. Whew! Service was fast and dinner came out at a reasonable pace. The owner is so friendly and stopped by our table to make sure things were good. Better than good! If you're in the Willowbrook area do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch or dinner. Prices are a little steep, but what's isn't these days?

Food is very good, they have lunch specials during the week including pernil, pollo guisado, etc…read morefor about $12-13. I ordered the pollo guisado and moro, both were good and we have a little left over. My partner ordered the pica pollo and the fried chicken was decent. The food does take some time, and servers did not check in too often so I would recommend ordering ahead of time (unless you have a long lunch break), There are plenty of tables, but it is a little dark inside, 2 bathrooms inside. The juice was on the sweet side so just watered it down (wish they have smoothies), but they get 5 stars overall for the flavor and the price point. Plenty of parking as it's in located along other stores.

I had a Fall Mule that was infused with chai and cinnamon- like fall in a cup! The caipirinha was a refreshing change from my usual margarita. Ceviche was fresh and I liked the corn nuts- unexpected and nice texture. Plantain chips and fried pork belly took the guacamole to another level. The empanada trio- all 3 flavors were great. Flaky crust. Will absolutely get again. Ambience- slow on a Tuesday at 6 pm but was picking up when we left at 7. Plenty of tables inside and out. Nice but casual setting.

Ask for him if you ever go there. This is an A-La-Carte restaurant, so you order and pay at the table. 2. Price - inexpensive, but can add up. It's $10-$22 per tapas. For a family of 5, we had about 7 different tapas. 3. Ambiance - hip, cute, and cozy. Definitely a great place to bring a date, meet up friends, and even a family meal. Dress code here is casual, however most people here are dressed pretty nice for a Friday evening. There is loud Latino music that puts you in a party mood. This place is fun with good vibes. 4. Food - our meal was delicious, I highly recommend their STEAK A LA PLANCHA and their PATATAS BRAVAS. 5. Cleanliness - this place is well managed in both dining area and restrooms. OVERALL - I would definitely return. We had a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this restaurant if you want some Spanish style food.
