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.

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.

If you're afraid of flavor, this is not for you, because the flavors were amazing!

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.

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