As soon as we walked in, the manager Stephan was right at the door ready to greet us. He already knew who we were and welcomed us like we were regulars. That kind of attentiveness is rare--you usually have to look for a manager, but here he was front and center, making sure everything was perfect from the start. The restaurant was busy (always a good sign!), but we were seated quickly and treated with such kindness and efficiency. The service overall was excellent--friendly, attentive, and just a great vibe all around. And the FOOD... absolutely incredible. I had the skirt steak with rice, beans, and salad--10/10, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. My friend had the fish and loved it just as much. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and made with care. Between the amazing food and the outstanding service, this place is a gem. Huge thank you to Stephan and the entire team for making us feel so welcomed--we'll definitely be back!

I asked the server what it was because how amazing it smelled, and he said it was the mixed seafood in lobster sauce. I ordered that and it came. There was squid, shrimp, mussel and clam in the soup. It came with rice and fries as well. It was the most tender squid and clam I ever had in my life. I highly recommend it. We were there for quite a bit and no one rushed us. It's an extremely friendly establishment. I highly recommend it to anyone.

As soon as I got inside, I was distracted by the decorations and colorful walls. There were also a ton of seats for customers to eat in. We came on a Saturday around noon. There was no line and the lady helped us immediately. I got pandebonos and buñuelos. Came out to exactly $3 for one of each. There's a lot of bread choices, cakes, and empanadas. Both were really good. I will definitely be coming back to try their empanadas and dining in too!

I knew something was wrong with the order because I should have been charged more. So I checked my order and they prepared the wrong dish for me (not what I ordered) so I asked if they could make the correction. They did without any issue but I couldn't help but notice they had to check the menu several times before preparing my order. Once I arrived home with my order I served my son and myself but we both noticed the difference in the quality of the food and the presentation: the beans were runny and my meat was overcooked (almost burned). The staff was friendly I will add but I will not continue going here.

It has all the Colombian classics because it is a bakery as well. If you bring kids or non adventurous eaters they also have typical American breakfast options like eggs, bacon and pancakes.

There was a piña colada brought to me with a little Hennessy bottle on top but the server Katherine quickly realized I probably didn't order that lol So we started with 2 piña colada's 1 virgin with whipped cream and one regular with rum! Both delicious! Then nachos de carne which had chunks of beef in it with the delicious combination of cheese beans and everything else ! For our main dish we both had skirt steak with rice and red beans we ordered a side of maduro ( sweet plantain) the steak was very tender and everything was seasoned well loved it! We didn't get dessert too stuffed but we will be back! This is a lively place with a sports bar vibe (lots of screens ) as well as family friendly but NOT loud or rowdy.

What are delicious new Colombian restaurant we have in our neighborhood. My wife and I came to try out the food. Everything was excellent. I don't evenlike a arepas generally. This was the most delicious arepa I have ever sampled. Had mine with sausage and eggs ; what a delight. My wife had a soup with Tostones, and she was brought back to childhood when her Abuela would make something so wonderful to be devoured with a spoon. She also got a nice salad and fluffy rice and ordered a side of grilled pork (lomo), which I tried...wow, what flavor! The service is attentive and the people are charming and humble. And the place is clean and new. This is a winner of a place.
