We ordered and sat down but we didn't know whether the food would be brought out to us or if we had to go collect it ourselves. They did end up doing table service which is really nice. The food took a while to make and arrive, but it's made to order and very fresh. The food was delicious. I ordered the chicken fajita quesadilla and a tamarndo. It was a good pairing that balanced each other out. I highly recommend it

This is close to 4.5 star but I'm rounding up because I'm coming back to try other things…read more I never had Colombian food before so I was excited to try this place. It wasn't busy when I was there so I ordered pretty fast. Food: Cheese bread: 4/5 -- soft and fluffy, does have an aftertaste I'm not use to Tamal 5/5-- this was humongous and very flavorful. It was packed with various meats that was very tender. It also came with a bread to help balance the meal. Beef empanada 5/5 -- this was really good. These empanadas are different from what I'm used to as the outer shell is crispy. It was really good and the beef inside was super flavorful that I didn't need to dip it in any sauce. They were also pretty big. I think the food is made to order so you do have to wait 5-10 minutes. Overall I'm coming back because I want to try their other offerings

There are only a handful of places offering Colombian cuisine in the Seattle area, and even fewer…read moreoffering a wide range of Colombian grocery goods. This place has both. It is not easy to find, and you will have to find it to visit. You're not going to chance upon it, as it is not even visible from any street. The location is in a business and warehouse area. We thought we had taken a wrong turn until we finally saw it. The food is good. Having lived in Colombia for a few years and learned how to cook many Colombian dishes, this place is legit. Is it the finest Colombian food on the planet? Not. But it is good. It's well-executed, clean, and tasty. We had several things from the menu, and I look forward to returning and trying all the menu. The store is fantastic. Many different Colombian food and household items are available here. This business has been around for two years, and I hope they make it for 50 or more years. It's worth a visit to support an excellent business run by fabulous people.

I always order the bandeja paisa or churrasco because it's one of the best plates. I've had the Ajiaco and tbh it taste nothing similar as real ajiaco.

Went here for a birthday celebration for a friend who has traveled to Colombia several times in the…read morepast 3 years, and loves their cuisine. The other 3 members of my party all had Bandeja Paisa, which is apparently a most traditional Colombian dish. I wanted to change things up so I had the deep fried tilapia (Mojarra Frita). The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly, moist and flaky, paired with coconut rice and a very fresh salad. I tried a sample of everything from the Bandeja Paisa, all of it was well executed. A few margaritas and a couple of mojitos helped liven up the celebration, and our server remained very attentive throughout the evening. I did notice that every other guest throughout the evening appeared to be of Colombian descent, always a sign that you have found the authentic version of the traditional food. Definitely a place that you should try.

Main dishes are $14.50 to $32.00. Sadly, no pupusas when we went. - 3x Empanada Colombiana ($1.50) - hot, crunchy - Tamal ($5.00) - chicken was a touch dry but good flavour. Topped with pickled red onion - Arroz con pollo ($14.50) - best dish that we ordered. Tasty green rice (with peas and diced carrots), chicken leg was nicely roasted - Bandeja paisa ($27.00) - crispy chicharron, tasty chorizo sausage. Not much shredded beef. Pricey plate; would try something else instead - Picado criolla ($21.00) - cassava and plantain were great. Nice variety with pork ribs, sausage, potato

We arrived around 2:00pm on a Saturday afternoon, and no one else was there. The full menu was not…read moreavailable, so we chose a couple items that were available--the empanadas and the carne asada. The cheese empanadas were good, but the cheese and the chicken empanada was not great, thanks to boiled, flavorless chicken. The house-made tortillas that accompanied the carne asada were very good. The steak was on the tough side. Service was quick but not particularly attentive. The young woman at the counter brought out our food but never asked how it was. The place is a dive, but with the exception of the women's restroom, is clean. The toilet in the women's restroom was gross, the toilet paper was sitting on the sink, and the paper towel dispenser was broken.

When you go, definitely start with a signature MOJITO or 2, chat up with neighboring tables or the staff, then order up an appetizer, like the Empanadas, Ceviche or Tostones, then one of their large entrees! Ohhh...how I love their Shredded Beef or Lechon! Once you're done with your meal and order another mojito, definitely check out their postres/desserts menu! While I'm partial to their FLAN, my next favorite is definitely their Tres Leches! This will round out your savory/sweet palate and will go home super full and happy! I promise! Hope you check them out! ¡Salud Amigos!
