I was all excited for it and then had to rethink my order after everyone had already ordered. Music was loud! But after more ppl came in it was blaring as bad. At 6:45pm only 1 table was taken, by the time we left close to 8, the place was almost full. Food was delicious. Only thing that was tasteless was the arepa, everyone said it tasted like cardboard. Digital menus were nice, but too many buttons/tabs/categories to click on to see the menu. At the end they brought desserts on a tray around. You ring a bell whenever you need service. Would def come back.

I seated myself but was approached right away then I was given plenty of time to check the menu. The servers seem pretty attentive here. The soup was in a huge bowl. Tasty, but couldn't finish, so after eating yo most of the liquid, I had to pack up the rest to take it home. Yuca is my favorite part because it melts in your mouth. If you don't want leftovers, then I suggest you get something else lol... I also decided to get hot chocolate to dip their cheese slabs in. They were plenty. It's best to bring someone with you -- I think they allow sharing the dishes here, so why not? They also charge 18% gratuity.

The restaurant was split into two sides with a trinket store offering money transfer services. The Colombian espresso single shot was an absurd $4.00 but the food here is supposed to be excellent so I ordered a beef empanada. It was small but flavorful with a semi-crispy shell at only $2.50 it was a steal. The gender assigned bathroom outer door had a cartoon guy wearing a sombrero hat indicating the men's room. Clean with Terracotta Mexican style flooring providing an earthy vibe with an out of order urinal.

This one seems to be a winner. They were quite busy when we were there. We looked over the menu. They don't list their daily lunch specials, but there's a small note on the menu to ask about it, so we did. We both chose it for our lunch. The day's lunch special included a delicious plantain soup. The broth was especially flavorful. The soup came first and then shortly afterwards came the entree. The plate had salad, cilantro rice, half a boiled potato, and a thigh/leg quarter chicken topped with a creole sauce. The chicken was quite tender. As the portion was so large, I wound up taking most of my soup home and half of my meal. We shared some very good flan with lots of caramel sauce and whipped cream for dessert. The guy at the neighboring table had a meat plate with blood sausage, chicarones, and churrasco. I'm not a sausage person, but the crispy pork and the steak looked delicious. The lunch special, btw, was very reasonably priced. I'm sure we will be back here again in the future.

We were told to sit anywhere, which was fine, but then we ordered 2 waters and a passion fruit margarita and waited almost 30 minutes just to get them. On top of that, the drink order was wrong. She served us what tasted like salty mango juice -- and I say "juice" because there was absolutely no alcohol in it. Then we ordered a simple meal: a few chicken tacos, pork tacos, and an order of chicharrón. Somehow that still took 30-45 minutes, and the order was missing items when it finally arrived. That's crazy for an order of 4 chicken tacos and 4 pork tacos. The tacos honestly weren't even that good either. The only thing that was actually good was the chicharrón. People always say "good food takes time," and sure, that's understandable when a restaurant is busy. But this place wasn't even halfway full. There were plenty of open tables inside and outside, so the wait made no sense -- especially considering the food wasn't worth it.

I then tried their beef empanada with their home made salsa. Best Colombian empanada I've ever had! The perfect crunch on the outside and mouth watering flavor on the inside. My husband ordered the mini bandeja paisa which includes rice, red beans, ground beef, fried pork belly, sausage, sweet plantain, a fried egg and a small arepa.... need I say more! It's a party of flavors in your mouth!

The Yellow Green Farmers Market is a foodie paradise with lots of food to choose from. Today, we…read moretried Pasabocas de Colombia because the pictures we saw on their menu were just too good to pass on. As a starter we tried the Spinach empanada and the beef empanada. They were so fresh and steamy on the inside. If you're not familiar with Colombian empanadas, the batter is potato based and the filling has some chunks of potato in it. It is amazing! I've had a lot of different types of empanadas in my day and these are my absolute favorite! They are just so flavorful and the texture is so heavenly, it's a party in your mouth. The only problem is that as soon as I finish one, I immediately want another. They just go down so easily, I think it's because the batter is light and flaky compared to others. Ok, enough talk about the empanadas, I realize I'm starting to sound crazy... but I just love them so much! We also had a papa rellena, stuffed potato with a rice and ground beef filling. This also had a nice flaky crust and lots of flavor. As our main meal we had an egg stuffed arepa and a mini bandeja paisa. The egg stuffed arepa was good but the bandeja paisa was even better. It's a bowl with rice, saucy red beans, a small arepa, sausage, chicharrón, beef, a sweet plantain slice and why not? A beautiful fried egg on top! phew! I know it's a mouthful. It's comfort food in a perfect package. Honestly, I tasted only about half of the meats because my hubby scarfed it down way too fast. But I sopped up the saucy rice and beans with the arepa and was a happy camper. Lastly, I drank a coconut lemonade which was so refreshing that I even got another one to go. I will absolutely be making this one of my new go to places!

Once you get past that part, the place is actually nice and the atmosphere is good. The food? Honestly, very good. No complaints there. But... for the prices they charge, I expected a little less "fast food" and a little more "we care." Drinks came in plastic cups--at these prices, I was hoping for at least a real glass, maybe even a little dignity. When I asked for a container for leftovers, I was politely sent on a scavenger hunt to grab my own from a table. So yes, good food, cool space--but overpriced for the experience and the service model. If I'm paying premium prices, I'd love premium service... or at least a glass cup.

One of the salchi papas had the order of chicken in a completely seperate box and it was the most bland chicken I have ever seen or tasted. Nothing had sauces.

We opened them up and one of them was chicken and the other was literally just the husk of the empanada, there wasn't anything inside, not even cheese. Some of the worst service I have ever gone though in a colombian restaurant. Never again.
