Was excited to know they open early for morning people like me who need their coffee and pastry. Counter help was super nice and took the time to explain, why some things aren't labeled. They had a nice set up for the World Cup with lots where everyone can have a view no matter your seat. It's located near Main Street and is easy to get to from transit. I'm excited to make this place part of my regular routine.

My family and I came here on a Wednesday minutes before they closed so I was very appreciative of…read morethe staff allowing us to dine in and being very attentive throughout our time there. This place is massive, with lots of tables to dine in, and a bakery section. We ordered the following: Mondongo (pequeño), bandeja paisa, lengua sudada, and res apanada. The food came out in about 20 minutes. The serving sizes were a little bigger than normal (I am not complaining), every plate looked delicious, and all the plates were hot and fresh. The mondongo was tasty and had a good amount of tripe and the right thickness of the broth. I chuckled when I saw the side of banana, but honestly, it made for a good desert. The bandeja paisa brings a litte bit of everything and it all was cooked well. The lengua sudada was very tender and flavorful and the yucca was soft, with the sauce it was in giving it a really good flavor. The res apanada was a bit tough and the breading did not stick on too well, but overall the flavor was good and the breading was crispy which I enjoyed. The best part of it all was the prices. It is very affordable and you will leave full.   The bakery is inexpensive and the items I have tried and good. They do have a large parking lot and it's free. While in the area, you could visit the Slater Mill (they have tours you could sign up for) or visit the public library. One thing to note is that the GPS might bring you to their old location a couple blocks up the street, so do a little bit of research for the address beforehand.

They always have a good selection of food and it is always usually fresh, I think there was only one time where it wasn't, it really depends on the time of day. They have the buffet style food display where you can pick your own plate. They do not speak english, but they are not stupid and are able to interpret with hand movements or google translate. They have $5 plates and $8 plates. They also have delicious empanadas for $2 and a small section of assorted colombian pastries. Definitely recommend coming here for a quick eat-in or to go plate!

We ordered drinks (the sangria was delicious!) and also ordered the Picada appetizer which consisted of Chorizo, Chicharrón, Yuca Fries, and Creole potatoes. When the appetizer arrived, I knew we had come to a great restaurant! Oh my goodness, the deliciousness was unmatched! The Yucca fries were hot and crispy on the outside with a soft & mealy interior. The chorizo and chicharron were both flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the potatoes were amazing as well. The appetizer portion was so generous, that all three of us ate our fill and there was still plenty to take home. For an entree, I ordered Steak with sweet plantains, tostones, and salad. All were delicious, especially when paired with the savory sauces on the table. We all wanted to try dessert and chose the tres leches cake and flan. Wow - I've never been served such large slices of both of these, and they were so flavorful and rich. We enjoyed the atmosphere of El Paisa as well as the friendly and efficient service and we hope to return soon.

The tacos were outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared with high-quality ingredients. The frijoles dip was rich, creamy, and incredibly addictive, making it the perfect way to start the meal. The mole was exceptional, with a deep, complex flavor that showcased the care and authenticity put into every dish. To top it all off, the mezcal shots were smooth, unique, and a great complement to the meal, adding an authentic touch to the overall experience. Beyond the incredible food and drinks, the atmosphere, service and specially the people made the evening even more enjoyable. If you're looking for authentic Latin cuisine with outstanding flavors and a memorable dining experience, Aguadente should absolutely be on your list. I highly recommend making a visit--you won't be disappointed! The Gal and the Guy from California

My friend and I came here on Father's Day expecting it to be packed, which it was, but there were…read morestill a few tables available, both inside and outside. At their front patio, they had the World Cup game playing, but the back patio felt cozier so we opted for that. The inside though was a strong second since the lighting is very low, creating a cool and calm environment. Walking through the restaurant to get to our table made me realize that each table is unique, no two are decorated the same or have the same furniture. It was a hot day but the overhead mesh cover blocked out a lot of the sun. Our waitress made us feel very welcome from the start and told us about their drink and food specials. My friend ordered Guatemalan beer as well as a Spanish beer. For food, we ordered the plantain fries, octopus, calamari, and shrimp salad, and grilled lamp chops. The seafood salad came out first. According to the menu, it was going to be paired with cornbread. It looked like sourdough bread but had a far denser consistency. I was expecting the salad to have lots of shrimp to act as a filler but surprisingly, it was about 60% octopus, 25% calamari, 10% shrimp, and 5% onions. The seafood was very flavorful, tasted fresh, and cooked perfectly. The portion size was great for two. Next came the plantain fries, which I was least impressed with as it was essentially fried plantain chunks. I think it would have been better if they were cut into smaller pieces that can be easily dipped and consumed in one bite. The plantain was gently ripe, so just a little sweet and the dipping sauce was like a less sour sour cream. Lastly, the lamp chops came out and the presentation was wonderful. They were a bit skinnier and less tender than that I was expecting, but flavor wise they were good. We enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service here.

It's a casual bar/ restaurant and it looks like they have live music at times. Most folks were dining close to the bar but we were seated at a booth in the main dining area. A little after seven when we arrived and there were only a few other groups in the place. It seems like this spot get more lively later in the evening. We started with the arepitas dulces which were delicious: sort of like little fried dough portions made of cornmeal topped with cheese and served with a sour cream dipping sauce. Totally would go back just for these. For an entree we had camarones al ajillo, which were nicely prepared (no tails) and served with a super fresh sauce that included great, fresh cilantro. We also had bottled beers which are reasonably priced at $5.20. Note that there is a surcharge for using a credit card so recommend bringing cash. Our server was also working the bar as well as our table in the dining room so was a little slow in checking on us for more drinks but no big deal, especially for a more casual place.
