    Interior of restaurant
    Ohana C.

    Yesterday was my first time trying Colombian food. The restaurant is small but super cute! It's nice and quiet inside with some TV entertainment. The lady who was working at the front was very nice. She quickly got us menus and sat us. She provided waters and took our drink orders as we looked over the menu for our entrees. The service is amazing here. Lady was very attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. Surprisingly I finished my entire plate of Arroz con pollo because usually I never am able to finish my food. The portions over here are gigantic and definitely worth the price if you're coming here to look for a hearty meal, big portions, good price, and less processed food. Please come here this place is absolutely delicious and I would definitely recommend to anybody living in Los Angeles or Pacoima area. I would most definitely come back here and order a different plate. My uncle got the "Bandeja campesina" plate and he said it could use a bit more flavoring and salt but that's just his preference. Overall, This is definitely a beautiful mom and top shop and I 100% support and recommend.

    Bandeja paisa!! The best and the cutest

    The food was amazingly good. We had the empanadas de carne so good and the bandeja paisa so affordable and a lot of food. The drinks are the best and natural. I love this place and the atmosphere was so cozy

    Lovely little place in an unexpected strip mall in the valley. Was honestly drawn to the name and had to try the food for breakfast. It was delicious. Had the arepa de queso, a pastelito de guayaba which was probably better than Porto's and a pan de elote. The elote was a lighter cornbread. Was hoping for a little sweeter. Husband had the eggs with carne which was delicious. My only complaint was the cafe con leche wasn't very brewed strongly and it came in a tiny cup. But would try the place again if we are in the area again.

    The food and service was amazing. I travel from Palmdale it takes me about an hour drive. Totally worth it. Don't forget to check out their Souvenir store they have so many cute Colombian stuff, from home decor to snacks. Defiantly recommend it.

    Loved it!!! The meal was so good and authentic Colombian!!! Reminded me of the awesome Colombian restaurants back in NY!!! So happy that this place was referred to me, it didn't disappoint at all! Will definitely be coming again and again!!!

    Bandeja campesina

    Everything about this place is worth a recommendation, the food is absolutely amazing, the natural juices are delicious, the service is great, super friendly people, also the staff make sure that they clean the tables right away when someone leaves, so it feels clean and comfortable, parking is easy! You should definitely go check!

    This place was amazing! We've eaten in a few Colombian places around the LA area but we really were impressed with their food and service. They also had a small colombian store where we bought additional products. 10/10! Thank you and please keep it up!

    Great find in mid-Valley. Tasty and fresh Colombian food! Bandeja campesina and sancocho cola de res were superb! Friendly service too! Highly recommended.

    I love South American food. Peruvian... delicious. Argentinean... delicious. I've even been to…read moreBolivia and loved the food we had there. So it's with a sad heart that I write this mediocre review. My Mom and I each got their Arepa Rellena and found them to be kinda.... blah. Not bad, just bland. Each was served with a side of salsa that looked a lot like pico de gallo and another that was guacamole. The salsas were amazing!! Both had a spicey punch and the guacamole was good enough that I would have drunk it straight if I'd had a cup or two. So it was a little frustrating to look at this spectacular salsa and realize that without it the arepa was more task than joy. Why not serve the arepa with the salsa already mixed in? Or marinate the meat in the salsa? And each arepa was over $10. It was packed generously and I was more full than I expected once I was done, but I couldn't help thinking that for that price I could have had 6 al pastor street tacos and been far more full and FAR more satisfied. Maybe their Bulldogs, Columbian hotdogs, would have blown my mind but after a first impression like this, it's going to be a long time before I ever find out.

I have been to this place so many times in the past 20-some years, and I just loved their "Famoso Pollo Versailles", especially with their delicious BBQ sauce. I can't recall how long it was since I/we've been there to eat, but I always had good memories of the service and food. Nevertheless, tonight, after my spouse and I decided to have dinner there, we both said, never again!! We got there around 8-ish, and the place wasn't really that busy for a Saturday. Maybe 6 or 7 small tables. That was all that was occupied by customers. A female server asked us how many people were there and then showed us a table to sit at. Shortly after, we ordered our drinks and food. The waitress came across as unfriendly and not in the least welcoming. But the unnecessary noise from the kitchen was almost unbearable. Absolutely zero consideration that all customers could hear this since it is an open kitchen next to the dining room. And this place is already noisy because of the tile floors and high ceiling. Altogether, it made it all seem like a mess hall with this noise. When the server came and brought our dishes. My spouse had Lechon Asado, and I had their famous chicken with rice and black beans. The beans were in a small bowl on a saucer, and when I grabbed it to add the beans to my rice that was on another plate, that small bowl of black beans slipped out of my grip and half of it spilled on the table next to my plate. We didn't receive any bread, as all the other customers had on their tables. We had to ask another waiter for some bread. His demeanor wasn't any friendlier than the server we already ended up with. Well, at least he brought us the bread. When the waitress came by, again I showed her my mess and apologized, and I thought she would take care of it to help me clean up that mess. All she said was, it's okay and took off. I ended up with a huge mess of black beans next to my plate with chicken. My spouse and I couldn't believe that she couldn't care less to clean it up or at least give me something to clean it off. Nice. My chicken was very disappointing because it tasted overcooked and dry. So dry I had a hard time to cut it with their cheap knives. We finished our meal, and even trying to pay/asking for our check was an ordeal. She never bothered to come by. We ended up going to the front and paying there. The whole staff was unfriendly and anything but welcoming. I have never left a restaurant without tipping. This was my first.
