As you walk in you'll likely be greeted by the front counter associate or any of them making their way around to clean, or even just having a quick chat with some of the regulars. The colors are warm and vibrant. Just such a welcoming feeling, Hector lavoe played on the screen my entire visit iykyk and If you don't be sure to look into the artist he is a legend. The food was sooo delish! They have a daily special that allows you one meat choice, and two sides. Which only comes out to a little less than $11.00. If you're in the area be sure to check them out!

El lugar está muy bien decorado y las chicas atienden bien, pero la comida no cumple las…read moreexpectativas que uno tendría, especialmente si conoce la comida colombiana de verdad. Pedimos de entrada unas empanadas y llegaron frías, como si fueran del día anterior. Además, el ají no es del estilo tradicional colombiano, así que desde el comienzo la experiencia fue decepcionante. El ajiaco, que debería ser uno de los platos más representativos, parecía más una sopa de papa sin sabor a pollo y sin nada que resaltar. Ni siquiera le ponen crema de leche, lo cual le quita todavía más autenticidad y sabor. También se nota un cambio en la atmósfera cuando llega la administradora o la dueña. El trato hacia los hispanos se siente un poco displicente, mientras que con los americanos parece ser diferente. Por ejemplo, un grupo de americanos levantó los platos y ella les dijo que no tenían que hacerlo, pero cuando yo lo hice, esa cortesía se le olvidó. En resumen, es un lugar agradable visualmente y con buen servicio por parte de las meseras, pero la comida, para alguien de Colombia, no cumple con muchas expectativas. The place is beautifully decorated, and the servers are kind, but the food does not meet the expectations you would have, especially if you are familiar with authentic Colombian food. We ordered empanadas as an appetizer, and they arrived cold, as if they had been made the day before. On top of that, the ají is not the traditional Colombian kind, so the experience was disappointing from the start. The ajiaco, which should be one of the most representative dishes, tasted more like a bland potato soup with no chicken flavor and nothing memorable about it. They do not even serve it with cream, which makes it feel even less authentic and less flavorful. You can also feel a change in the atmosphere when the manager or owner arrives. The treatment toward Hispanic customers feels somewhat dismissive, while it seems different with Americans. For example, a group of Americans picked up their plates and she told them they did not have to do that, but when I did the same, that courtesy was forgotten. Overall, it is a visually pleasant place and the waitresses provide good service, but for someone from Colombia, the food does not live up to many expectations.

This is a no brainer!!! You gotta stop in if you're anywhere remotely close or in the area!…read more This is tucked away between a major highway and a Costco shopping area. Very simple to get to and quite a decent amount of parking. I went on a Saturday Afternoon and it wasn't too busy at all, but it should be with how amazing the food is! Vibes were pretty dope. Lots of outdoor seating and some music playing. Ordered the Pernil Arepa, Chicken Rice Bowl, and Pulled Pork Rice Bowl. If you're afraid of flavor, this is not for you, because the flavors were amazing! And you can customize your bowls with add one to your liking such as roasted corn, avocado, cheese, plantains and more!

When we visited Lancaster, we had to stop by Chellas Arepa Kitchen, and it absolutely lived up to…read morethe hype. The food is a delicious mix of Peruvian and Venezuelan flavors, and you can really taste the freshness and quality in every bite. Their arepas are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with flavorful fillings. Everything felt comforting yet unique at the same time. One thing I really appreciated is that the entire menu is 100% gluten free, but honestly, you wouldn' even notice because the food is just that good. Also, don't be deceived if the food doesn't look super "picture perfect" online or in photos (or at least my photos lol). It may not be the most photogenic food, but it's sooo worth it! I actually ordered almost everything on the menu because I had no idea when I'd be back in Lancaster again . My favorite was the fried rice with chicken and plantains, so flavorful and satisfying! My husband's favorite was the Lomo Saltado Bowl and Pernil Arepa. We also loved the yuca fries, which were perfectly crispy without being overly greasy. The only thing that disappointed me a little was the Esquites. It just didn't stand out and probably wouldn't order it again. Parking is limited and there's outdoor seating only.

Honestly, the overall rating came down ultimately to the chicken. The service was great, ambience…read morewas chill, and the tablet menu was refreshing and fun to use. Oh, and there's no shortage of free parking at this restaurant. First off, the picture on the menu showed a little bowl for the onion stew, whereas what I got was onion stew spread over the chicken. The stew itself was tasty, but for both the stew and grilled chicken, a bit more tenderness and less chewiness would certainly have elevated both dishes. The red beans and plantains were fine, but the yellow rice lacked any discernible flavour which was disappointing. I believe this place has what it takes to be even better and that both dishes should have been better. I hope they continue to improve and serve the locals (and non-locals) for many more years.

They did not show any sincerity nor gave me any compensation for this problem.

This is a great place with authentic cuisine. We started with the chicken Empanadas which were crispy on the outside and full of delicious flavors on the inside.

The chorizo was so good I got a few to take home. The ropa vieja was beef which was slow cooked to the point of falling apart and melting in your mouth with potatoes and a side of rice. There were three in my party and we all had at least seconds and still had some leftovers. Very enjoyment meal and would recommend.
