Once you get past that part, the place is actually nice and the atmosphere is good. The food? Honestly, very good. No complaints there. But... for the prices they charge, I expected a little less "fast food" and a little more "we care." Drinks came in plastic cups--at these prices, I was hoping for at least a real glass, maybe even a little dignity. When I asked for a container for leftovers, I was politely sent on a scavenger hunt to grab my own from a table. So yes, good food, cool space--but overpriced for the experience and the service model. If I'm paying premium prices, I'd love premium service... or at least a glass cup. Three stars: come for the food, stay because you already paid

I couldn't resist trying both fish dishes, and I'm so glad I did! * Filete de Pescado a la Plancha (Grilled Fish Fillet): Lightly seasoned, perfectly grilled, and flakey. Served with white rice and beans that were both simple and satisfying--classic, clean flavors done right. * Filete de Pescado en Salsa de Champiñones (Grilled Fish in Savory Mushroom Sauce) : The mushroom sauce was delicious, elevating the fish to the next level. If you're into creamy sauces and comfort food vibes, this one is a must-try. Served with a side of fried yuca that was golden brown and crispy with coconut rice and beans that will take you by surprise with actual coconut pieces in it not just made in coconut milk This was the star of the show. I ordered two passion fruit juices, and both tasted incredibly fresh--like they had just been blended moments before serving. I also had a Manzana Postobón (apple soda), which added a sweet, nostalgic Colombian touch. And let me tell you, they gave me a taste of their $5 margarita and it was so good. Lightly sweet, tangy, and not too strong--definitely a deal worth coming back for. The staff were welcoming, patient with questions, and quick with service. I appreciated the sample of the margarita--it shows they're proud of what they serve and confident you'll come back for more (and they're right). The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated with colorful accents, bright red seat cushions, wooden tables, hanging greenery, and Colombian flags tastefully placed throughout the space. With soft lighting and cozy touches like pillows along the bench seating, it's a perfect mix of festive and relaxed.

I would recommend and would return soon.

Waited impatiently inside my car a taste of my morning Joe. Met with the super friendly barista Astrid (hope im saying her name right since there was a language barrier) who advised me on Google translate, that the pastries in the display case on the counter was not prepared this morning, so that was a bummer, but the chicken and the tiny cheese empanadas were ready fresh for human consumption and the Pan de Bono would be ready in twenty minutes. No light breakfast for me today, only a large espresso prepared from Mazzucco Italian coffee beans. It was satisfying and provided a nice bold taste and a jolt. One of the drink specials advertised was the $5 Margaritas and 5/$25 Beers. On Saturdays and Sundays the 2 for $30 entree deal looked interesting. The rear of the dining room included a second business called Viamericas and Zia Cargo which were a courier and money transfer companies. I guess they sub-lease the space, not sure. The gender assigned bathrooms were clean with a wall painting and a corner pedestal added to the decor. My table had a used candy wrapper which kept eye balling me while I sipped my coffee.

It brings a lively, authentic vibe that makes the experience even more enjoyable. You can tell there's a lot of culture and passion behind the food, and it shows in both the taste and presentation. The staff is always friendly, smiling, and genuinely happy to have you there, which makes a big difference. It's the kind of place where you feel welcomed every time you walk in.
