I had brought and ate the bandera dish that comes with goat and tripe stew, shrimp ceviche, and rice. Overall, it was delicious and really good. The service there was also attentive and pleasant that they even give me a sweet slice of cake for a complimentary dessert. I couldn't agree more! Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

The food is excellent but the billing is questionable to say the least. We won't go back…read more Somehow our bill went from $39 to $55.20 after ordering a $5 slice of flan for dessert. That's a difference of $16.20, which was more than my $15 entree (steak with rice, beans, and tostones). They took it upon themselves to include a 15% tip on debit ($7.20) after my wife had already tipped with $10 cash (which was returned when we questioned it). They charged us $3 extra for a side of beans that should have been included with my wife's $21 fried fish platter. Initially they didn't charge anything for a $4 lemon beverage that was ordered by a misunderstanding, but once we ordered the flan after the bill came out the first time they corrected that mistake. Granted these are small charges, but the overall feeling we were left with was a bad taste. The bill turned out higher than what we initially expected and was no bargain considering we didn't even order an alcoholic beverage. It felt like we were paying a sucker surcharge.

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. The sauces, bread, and salad were also good. The grill flavor is fantastic but definitely not the pinnacle of steak. But that's not all you're here for! Definitely a great spot if you want a fun vibe and affordable good steak.

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!

Glad I came…read more They have a lot of imported snacks (chips, soda, juice, sweets), which are fun and tasty - but the real reason we came was for their restaurant fare. They have a pretty large selection of meats to choose from (chicken, beef, pork, cooked in different ways and with different sauces) - but what the nice lady behind the counter really sold us on were their Mixtas. HUGE tortilla with chorizo and other meats, sauces and veggies, and probably other stuff besides - more than enough for two people for a meal. We also tried their beef and chicken relleno with rice, pasta and beans - pretty tasty and not expensive at all. But we'll come back for the Mixtas, no doubt in our minds. If you're in Woodside and want an affordable slice of Guatemalan food, definitely give them a try.

Why 4 stars? Because these arepas were different, but enjoyable…read more --- --- --- To-date, I apparently have only had Venezuelan arepas and wasn't aware of how different Colombian arepas were. Colombian arepas (or at least the ones here) come with a sweet, corn tortilla and are more open faced: to be eaten with a fork. In the past, I've had flour tortillas that are designed more like a taco and eaten as a handheld. So despite the differences, I (and my friends) enjoyed our meal. Let the official record state, I ordered the arepas con queso with chorizo. We had plans to eat our way through Jackson Heights, but because a couple of the places we planned to visit were closed, we actually just mostly hung out here and enjoyed our arepas of the sweet and open-faced variety. It was a good afternoon.

This was my first time trying an arepa, and honestly it was one of the best introductions I could…read morehave asked for. Before this, if someone mentioned arepas, I probably would have confused them with pupusas, which I'd only seen at street fairs and thought of as more of a sweet item. I had no idea they came in savory versions too. I went with the carne asada arepa, and the beef was fresh, juicy, and cooked just right. It's so common for places to overcook little chunks of beef, but here it was perfect. Each arepa is big enough to split between two people, so the price feels very fair. The filling was generous, with beef packed inside and even overflowing out the sides. They also serve the arepas with a rack of five or six sauces to choose from. Some were spicy, and one had a sweet condensed milk flavor if you like a mix of sweet and savory. My go to ended up being this green mayonnaise sauce which I assumed was like some sort of a lime mayo, which added the perfect tartiness to the rich cheese filling.
