We came on a Sunday night around 6pm and the place was crowded, but we got a seat right away and service was very quick. The food was superb. My girlfriend and I shared the Bandeja Mario which was something of a sampler platter and had a little bit of everything on it. Our friends had the Entraña and their son had the Pechuga de Pollo Apanada and all were incredibly filling and incredibly delicious. We washed it all down with a pitcher of sangria. Incredible food, great and fast service, wonderful atmosphere. Absolutely would come again the next time we're in town.

It was so abundant we shared a plate and were full and happy. Thank you for this restaurant, it is solace for some of us who sometimes desperately need a piece of Colombia. I never imagined food was going to have such a different value in USA and it is the main reason that makes me want to go back. Mua!

I've been here a few times over the last 10ish years. They were good experiences. Service was good the last time we went. I dont remember the other times. The chivito paradilla (grilled platter) has beef steak, chicken, rolled veal (pork slice), sausage, and blood sausage. The blood sausage had alot of fatty pieces. It was not memorable but the steak was good! There was short ribs there too. I am not sure if that is part of the "beef steak". Chimichurri sauce is fantastic. Some of the meats like the chicken was a bit dry, but its a nice combo platter to try out if you have been. It comes with 2 sides of your choice. The rice and beans and tostones are good options but ive seen people get French fries and potato salad as well! Lots of people still go to this Uruguan place even tho there are a few places on the blocks doing the same thing. This is the more popular one thats been in news/food blogs. I will try other combos next time without the blood sausage, but its a cool experience!

We split the combo #4 (short rib, skirt steak, chorizo) with salad and some wine. The steak was good, extremely worth its price point. The short rib was OK, but the chorizo was fantastic.

Soccer games are on the tv screens inside. There are cushioned booths and chairs, and it's good for small groups or dates. I walked in on a Sunday evening around 7 PM, so we got all the attention. :) The bartenders speak Spanish. The waitstaff said that it turns up at 10 PM, so that is good to know! The menu had light foods like tacos, empanadas, and chicken wings. I had ordered a margarita and a mojito. This bar had on Reggaeton, like lots of El Gran Combo de PR, Daddy Yankee, and Bad Bunny! So I sense that it's a great spot for dancing and drinks! I would definitely go back but probably on a Friday night.

I'm not going to pretend that I am the best person to determine what an authentic Colombian experience is (never had the pleasure of visiting Colombia), but if this isn't it, I can't imagine what they're missing. The staff speaks to you in Spanish exclusively, which made me glad one of my boys is Honduran. The TVs all over the place are playing what appear to be Colombian music videos that were made in the 80s featuring old men and attractive young women. They've got buckets of Colombian beer and frosted mugs so cold that the beer turned to slush around the sides. They've got a platter called the Bandeja la Berraca that consists of rice, beans, steak, plantains, eggs, avocado salad, little corn cakes, blood sausage, other sausage (amazing), and a giant side of chicharron. Eat and drink to you're bursting, while adorable Colombian kids run around the place. And rejoice that you live in NYC, where these things can be had.

The flavors are deep and rich and give you a real sense of what good Colombian food should taste like. The plates are affordable and filling as well. Greta combination for my wallet! The ladies who work there are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about each dish so feel free to ask questions. It's a small place that fills up easily, but once you're seated you will be comfortable and don't have to worry about getting rushed out. At this kind of restaurant, they will almost always ask if you want a tinto or small coffee after your meal, which is thought to help settle the belly. Go for it if that's your thing! I can't recommend this place enough!
