the location is outside of my typical area, but i was curious to try the empanadas…read more the restaurant was clean and quiet, there is plenty of seating and ample parking. the empanadas - i had one each of the chicken and beef. they were finger-burning hot, even after 15 minutes of letting them sit to cool, but i was so excited to try them, so i had to dig in regardless of the burn they were pretty greasy & small. the beef was really good. the chicken was stuffed with a tiny trace of chicken and i dunno what else, maybe masa, but they are definitely mostly filled with the other ingredient and way too little chicken, so it was hard to judge the taste and texture of the chicken. the corn "shell" was nothing to write home about. so-so. it was reasonably priced, but the portions were teeny. the salsa provided was a cucumber-ish relish or similar, refreshing and not spicy at all. it was just ok, or may be a better accompaniment with a different dish. i may go again, to try a few of their dishes & if we go back, i will certainly update my review

El manager, aunque muy amable, no hizo absolutamente nada para arreglar en algo tan terrible experiencia. Lamentable! The positive: The service. The negative: The food. We ordered a chicken sancocho and a seafood casserole; we were served shoe leather and cheap Walmart seafood with three pieces of imitation crab meat. $65 thrown in the trash. The manager, although very friendly, did absolutely nothing to make up for such a terrible experience. Disappointing!

It was a little bit of everything and I was in heaven! I'm a soup girl and had previously had home made sancocho and loved it. I was really excited to see this on the menu, especially for a cold night! The patacones were delicious as well, especially with the chicharron. Would definitely come back again! I would love to try one of their platters.

My friend was in town with his father for some difficult medical tests at National Jewish. The…read morestress of the tests and the concerns over memory problems had understandably been making his dad anxious. So, we decided to take him for a relaxing evening for some "home cooking;" his dad is from Colombia. I'd driven by this place for years, always thought it was cute, but never had been in to try it out. Well, the inside is even cuter than the curbside! We were quickly greeted and shown to a table. It was around 8 on a Friday night. The service was just what my friend's dad needed, joking around in Spanish and answering random questions that an older person might have when seeing food they grew up with and hadn't seen in a while... and, then, the food. I'm not familiar with Colombian cuisine, so I wanted to try something traditional. The presentation was sizable and I really like color on a plate. Then, it was flavorful and filling?! YUM. We walked out of the experience laughing and purely delighted at having had a great night in sharing a unique experience. Strongly suggest folks swinging through, when you're in the neighborhood... or, give yourself a special occasion and make a trip!

Cute Cuban bakery located in an area that you wouldn't find this type of food anywhere…read more Service was fast and friendly. Honestly coming from the Miami area I can't even compare. However everything looked good. They also have lunch ready early in the morning. I had the pan con lechón which was HUGE . The pork was actually pork instead of ham. And it was packed with meat. The pork was flavorful, but it was dry. The cortadito was good. I had a small sancocho which I was not a fan. My brother had a plate with yucca, pork and Moro rice and he loved it. He says he goes every time he is In the area. I personally was not a fan of the sandwich or the sancocho. But i would check them out since is something different in the area.

Cute little coffee shop serving up delicious Colombian drinks and treats. I ordered a Pastel de…read moreGuava and a hot latte with cinnamon powder. The latte was a perfect blend of coffee and frothy milk, sprinkled with cinnamon powder. The pastel de guava paired well with my latte. The bread was warm and soft, and the center was filled with the slightly sweet guava. I stopped in for an afternoon coffee. With it being my first time in, I walked in about 10 minutes to close. I try not to do drop in so close to closing time so I asked if it was okay that I order. The staff were welcoming and friendly and I didn't feel rushed at all. The cafe has a nice selection of pasteles & breads, offering both savory and sweet options. It's a small cafe but a very cozy place to enjoy a coffee and a snack. With so many different choices, I cannot wait to go back.

I think it's actually the only place in Denver with Huevos Pericos! It's a cute little storefont, and the employees are very nice. There's also naturally a lot of gluten free options because Colombian menus aren't as gluten heavy. (I'm not sure that it would be free of cross contaminates though).

The space itself is quite small, with just a few indoor tables and some seating out front to people watch. What really stood out was the warm, welcoming staff. Service was quick, and everything came out fresh and hot. We tried the beef super arepa and the pork pupusa--both were packed with flavor and seriously satisfying. The only miss for us was the coconut lemonade, which leaned more bitter than refreshing. That said, it didn't take away from the overall experience. The menu is on the smaller side, but honestly, that works in its favor--everything feels intentional and well-executed. Definitely a spot we'll be returning to, especially to work our way through the rest of the menu.

This restaurant is the best!!!…read more I come here often and get their vegetarian arepa. The flavors are delicious, it's a nice filling casual meal, and it's not too expensive. The actual shop is quite small but I rarely have an issue getting a table. It's run by a cute duo and they work nearly all the hours. Also, they are only open for lunch hours. I wish they did dinner too but I wouldn't want the duo to overwork themselves.

I've also had their banana Nutella empanada before, and that one truly knocked my socks off (I've got a major sweet tooth).
