Chicharrón! Yes please!…read more This place is always so popular whenever we come in for dinner. There's usually a wait at the door to be seated because the place is always jam packed with people. It's really worth the wait because everything is so darn tasty! We have dined in a few times and it never disappoints. I always like to get the Paisa entree because it comes with a huge side of crunchy chicharrón which I love! The non-alcoholic drinks are very good. They have a coconut drink which tastes refreshing and it's not too sweet. They also have a few margaritas and other beers. The staff is always super nice and accommodating. And even though it's always busy it's not too chaotic and the service is pretty quick. The food is always flavorful and cooked perfectly! It tastes like a home cooked meal and it actually feels like I am visiting a relatives house for dinner. Everyone at the restaurant always has a smile on their face and it's always just a great dining experience. Whenever I am in town I always think of this restaurant!

Chicharron was great. - Arepa: looks like a tortilla, so not the typical thick arepas I'm used to. So felt like I paid $8 just for a tortilla and small block of cheese - Tostones con guacamole: I prefer my tostones to be crispier, but they had great taste. - Cazuela de Mariscos: Great flavor. I put it on top of rice and enjoyed it with the other food, otherwise too heavy/dense on it's own. I didn't enjoy the mussels (I love mussels). They were too gritty.

A Colombian breakfast felt like it would fit the bill. I showed up at 615am to find the doors still locked & nobody there. According to the store sign & Yelp, its supposed to open at 6am. I saw another place next door. La Abundancia. Yelped it, saw it was also Colombian. And open. It's a very small and unassuming spot. Nothing fancy about it. A handful of tables. There was a Spanish radio station playing. Lady at front said hello & handed me a menu. I did notice. Aside from one guy coming in for a coffee to go, I was the only customer there. Maybe Sunday early mornings are typically slow? I'm not sure. I chose the Calentado. Steak, egg, rice & beans. She asked if I wanted tomato & onions in the eggs. And corn arepa with cheese on side. I said yes to both. Added some hot sauce & it hit the spot. Next time, I would like to try some of that wonderful pork with the chicharrones attached to it. I was sad they did not have any guava pastries, roscones. Would have loved to take some to go. Still, I'm very satisfied to have found this place to dine.

Ceviche tropical (7.5/10): very good. I liked the plantain chips as well Ceviche mixto (7.5/10): solid ceviche Arroz con Mariscos (6/10): pretty average as far as paellas go. Not too memorable, but not bad either. Mostly just rice. Also could use more socarrat. Lomo saltado (9/10): the steak was SUPER tender. The red onion and tomatoes were cooked well. Fries were decent as well Rincon Limeño is the best Peruvian food I've had in new england. I think it is significantly better than Celeste in Somerville and Los Andes in Providence. The service was also fantastic. We came 30 minutes before closing, but they were still so kind and didn't rush us at all.

Here are a few of the dishes that we've gotten over the last few visits: - Ceviche Mixto: great mix of seafood (white fish, calamari, and shrimp) and you can tune the amount of heat. The corn adds a nice chewy texture and is a nice contrast when the acidity might get a bit too much. - Jalea de Mariscos: crisply and well seasoned, there's something here for everyone because it's a combination of fried white fish, calamari, shrimp, and yucca. - Tallarines Verdes: pasta with a pesto made from questo blanco/fresco and spinach and basil, served with a steak on top. The steak is thin, so don't be expecting a specific temperature/cook on it, but it's super flavorful and juicy. The drinks are balanced and really tasty and refreshing, our favorites are the pisco sour, pisco mule, and anything with chicha!

I scanned the large menu for an option to refuel and opted for the steak tacos, which were 3 for $12. They were stuffed with protein and topped with a tomato and onion salsa. I also couldn't resist trying a fried pastry or two with a wide variety of options they had available, so I ended up ordering a chicken pastel and beef yucca empanada. The staff here were really friendly and the service was very quick. Everything about this place was casual and efficient. This placed seemed like where all the locals went! In the heart of the busy area, La Chiva has plenty of nearby street parking along with a small personal lot. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. And it has food readily available and they are open until 3am. A big tip is that they are Cash Only.
