All 4 of us don't speak Spanish, we can tell the waiter who waited our table doesn't speak English. So, we had some kind of misunderstanding about the dish of Fajita. We thought Fajita comes with rice, beans, and pino de giao, like what Mexican restaurant usually serve. But not here in the Columbian restaurant. You need to order it if you want it.

At first, I was really impressed by the interior design of this beautiful restaurant. We were…read moregreeted with smiles as we walked in and there was plenty of seating. The menu was in Spanish, but you can request an English menu. We've been here in the past and really enjoyed the food. The prices are very high. Be prepared to pay $20-$30 per plate. Unfortunately, the chicken that we ordered came out raw. I got sick from it. The waiter was very sorry and kind. Also, the broccoli tasted like frozen broccoli that had been boiled or microwaved which makes it mushy and tasteless. I remember fresh steamed broccoli in the past. I wish I could recommend this restaurant but how could I tell a friend to go somewhere that serves unsafe food that could give you food poisoning?

The chicken was based in tomato sauce, I don't think there was any other seasoning on it. The restaurant itself is very nice, very spacious, and I can tell it's used for large parties. The service was OK, after I received my food they never came back to check on me, I had to get her attention when I wanted to pay. All things considered, I would go back to taste something else because I like the portions; I paid $9. I took the rest of my food home and added some seasoning.

People were even getting up and dancing it was a great vibe. The patio was full so we sat inside which was fine with us, as the karaoke was a little loud. Our server was very nice and friendly. The food came out super fast and was super hot and delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection and it was all large portions. The food was decently priced and the place was clean. Definitely recommend.

We were able to enjoy a nice table on their outside patio vs the inside which can get a bit loud at times - thankfully! By 1:30pm the place was packed! I really enjoy their food and the menu has all the choices that you need. My mom ordered the mondongo which was an extremely generous portion (she took half home!), my dad ordered punta de anca and it was perfect, and I had to have their calentado (beans, rice, chicharrón, steak, eggs, arepa with cheese - full plate!). I didn't save room for dessert will have to come back!

We were one of only 3 tables and the one server was very attentive. They had latin pop music playing at a volume that was just right. We both got bowls off the lunch pricing menu. And we out food was out in 11 mins after placing the order. I got the Antiqueno. And it was great. Enjoyed the portion and the simple flavors. The pork belly was cooked perfectly which quite frankly is something that many restaurants mess up. They had also had these three home made sauces that were brought out to the table. One of which was a passion fruit based mayo that worked super well with my bowl. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

It was quite good. The special included today's soup -- a bowl of cilantro soup. It reminded me of dal or pea soup. It was tasty.

Today I ordered Carne Asada and was just as delighted as my first visit. The entrée itself was very full. It came with grilled steak, rice, french fries and the salad. The steak was grilled to perfection and did not need any sauce however I did appreciate the sauce it came with. The rice was a salty delight. The salad was fresh and I love the tomato toppings. The service can be a little slow, but it's worth the short wait. The restaurant itself is quite big, it can fit both small and large families. There are booths and tables to choose from. Please check out this restaurant! 5/5.

I was greeted immediately after walking in and seated right away by the friendly staff. I started off with a chicken empanada that was fresh, hot and crunchy. The chicken was tender and juicy, adding the salsa gave it a nice little heat. The main course was the Bendeja Paisa. I was feeling sentimental and craving something traditional. Let me say the portion size was unexpected and very filling. The steak was tender and the tomato and onions atop it was delicious. The tostones were tasty, crunchy, and with a bit of the sauce from the steak, it added additional flavor. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.
