They just opened this place in winter haven , and we decided to give it a try for the first time …read more Place is little hide but you can tell is a restaurant, we went on a Friday night and parking fills very fast at front , I think they do have back parking but not 100% sure . The inside is very Latin and definitely a Puerto Rican place , seats are very nice and they had some big groups . They have karaoke night on Fridays with lots of specials drinks . Staff is super friendly and attentive, but we did have to wait a good 25 minutes for our orders . Prices are a little high but not extreme high , and food was great , good flavors and great presentation . It didn't make 5 stars based on they took a little too long on the food and prices could be better .... Overall a good new place

I'm new in the city and been eyeing this hometown restaurant as I am originally from…read more Finally, on Sunday afternoon I decided to try it out with my kids. Because I was with my kiddos. Hawaiian pizza was our best option for the day. We weren't too hungry and saw someone eating it as we walked inside. So we had to try it. It's our favorite pizza. As it is for most Colombians! The pizza was good, plenty of pineapple and everything else. Pineapple was very sweet. And it was nice and cheesy I am definitely coming back with the rest of my family, and or friends to try other dishes that looked delicious- like the Parrilla for example. The service was decent. They were busy and so not took some time to figure the sitting and ordering. But once we ordered, the pizza did came out very fast Loved the soccer decor. They're clearly ready for the World Cup or at least I hope so. Nice decor, I definitely takes you back to the city of Bogota if you grew up riding their city bus that was fun for my eyes The place is small with a larger amount of tables. So, it can feel tight when busy. And can only imagine how it would feel if you go there to watch a game. So just be prepared for that. They have a restroom for men and one for women- with a baby changing station

The food is genuinely homemade, full of flavor, and clearly made with love. Each dish somehow tastes even better than the last -- they just keep raising the bar! The service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. We've been lucky to have Yarisbel as our server both times, and she is truly exceptional -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. She adds so much to the dining experience. If you're looking for authentic, delicious, homemade food in a cozy setting, this is the place. Highly recommended -- we'll definitely be back!
