The parking lot is a little small (pro tip: go around the round about to get to the actual entrance to the lot, the other entrance is blocked off), but it is totally worth the effort. I tried the horchata...huge glass and has incredible floral notes that I've boy had in other versions. 100% recommend! I also tried the cheese and the pork/cheese pupusas. Light, soft and completely delicious, the accompanying cabbage and carrot slaw was acidic and bright. Definitely delicious and the prices are super cheap. The salsas are very authentic, the green one being my favorite. I can't wait to bring people back here. The decor is simple and very clean, and there is a takeout area as well as some seating. The service was very fast and friendly. I'll definitely be back!

We didn't realize that when we decided to go. However, they do have 3 or 4 outdoor tables. Right beside the tables are very sturdy extendable umbrellas that they can open to shade you whenever you want. Their food is handmade, fresh and delicious. Got a vegetarian bowl with rice, beans, plantains, lettuce, and avocado slices accompanied by 2 small arepas. The arepas and empanadas seemed to be made from the same dough and it's a good thing because it is extremely mouth-watering - yum! Kudos to the owner.

We ordered the Gordita de Asada (I'm a little particular about the fat texture from meats and this one had some chewy pieces), the Sope de Chorizo, Tacos de Birria, and Flan for dessert (just okay).

The service was great and the food was excellent. I got the birria quesadilla. I would definitely get it again. The meat had soooooo much flavor. With the melty cheese. This was remarkable. I couldn't finish it so i took some with me and it reheated perfect for the next day. Be aware it is messy but so so so worth it. My husband had the birria on a sandwich and he loved it as well. They had drink specials 2 for the price of 1 or $8 each. This was for some main staples: Margarita & Mojitos Absolutely recommend going here. They weren't very busy and with how good the food is. They absolutely should be!

The waitress was very helpful, and made a few suggestions and answered all my questions. And the food did not disappoint: it was authentic, well-executed and flavorful. I tried the chicharones, which consisted of generous chunks of pork along with charred fat that was a tasty chew. On the advice of the waitress I got the steak dish, and was not disappointed. It was cooked to a tender medium rare, and was perfectly seasoned. I also got the tostones con queso, and they became one of my favorites. All told, it was a feast of familiar flavors and new flavors to me -- all cooked and presented well.

Looking to expand the palate, we recently tried La Colombiana. Started with fried plantains and…read moreempanadas (two beef, two chicken). Both were delicious, especially the fried plantains. I've had plantains in the past, but these were certainly the best I've tried. For entrees, we went with arroz con pollo and bandeja paisa which was basically an assortment platter. I was a little disappointed in the arroz con pollo. Rice was over cooked and the flavor was overall muted. For dessert, we tried obleas -- thin waffles filled with jam, caramel and cheese. The waffles weren't true waffles, but more just cracker type. Again, rather disappointing but maybe I just don't have the right taste for it. The service was excellent, and we did enjoy the appetizers. Entrees and dessert were a let down. Overall, 3 stars in my book.

My husband ordered the taco salad and it was huge and according to him, it was good but different in that it was not traditional. I ordered the Birria. It was a little disappointing for several reasons. It was rich and salty, extremely salty but also small dish and meat was tender...hence the saltiness. The street corn was ok but could have used some tajin or more flavor. The Tres Leche cake was cold and soggy and the wine soaked pear that came with it was not a good pairing. The highlight was the whipped cream. A place to try but not to go back.
