I was excited to try this place because the reviews and business description made it sound like an…read moreauthentic Peruvian rotisserie restaurant. Unfortunately, I felt that description was misleading. The owners are from Honduras, and in my opinion, the food did not taste like authentic Peruvian rotisserie. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor, and the rest of the food was pretty basic. The ambiance was also very basic, and the service was neutral at best--not particularly friendly or hospitable, especially as someone visiting on vacation. I've had much better Peruvian food at other places. I wouldn't recommend this spot if you're specifically looking for authentic Peruvian rotisserie. If you're simply looking for basic chicken, it may be fine.

Parking was surprisingly easy, which is always a plus, and the staff were warm and helpful in walking through the menu. It is the kind of environment where you can relax, settle in, and let the food be the star. And the food really does shine. The meat platter was loaded with juicy, well-seasoned cuts that made it a challenge to finish in one sitting, though I happily tried. Empanadas were crisp and flavorful, and the sides tied everything together nicely. Portions are generous across the board, so you definitely leave feeling satisfied. This is a place to come hungry and curious, because every dish feels like a little celebration of Colombian flavors.

First of all, forget the beautiful picture of colorful buildings on the web site, this place looks…read morederelict from the outside. Half of the building has black plastic bags covering the windows, and the other half doesn't look much better. Before we saw the "Open" lighted sign, we were about to drive away thinking that it had closed down or moved elsewhere. Anyway, once inside, it's a small, brightly painted place, with 4 or 5 tables, a counter and a small Colombian souvenir (hats, flags, etc.) section. More like a cafe than a restaurant. Once seated, my wife had a diet coke and I had a "Polo", a dark Columbian beer ($6.75 for a small can); ' it was nothing special. When I asked for a glass for my beer, I was given a large plastic soda tumbler !? ' Wife had the Red Snapper entree ($30), which came with rice, beans, one tostone, a little salad and couple of slices of avocado. The fish was a good size, and although it looked like a red snapper, we both agreed that it had a very fishy taste, which red snapper definitely shouldn't. I suggested she send it back, however, not wanting to make a fuss, she instead, dipped bites of fish into the bean sauce to cover the fishy taste. Fortunately, she didn't get sick... I had the 'Bandeja Paisa Montañera' ($24) which is basically, a mixed grill that was comprised of a Colombian sausage, a "morcilla" (blood sausage), "grilled steak", and fried fatty pork belly with a fried egg, white rice, a little fried plantain, half a small avocado, and a small plain arepa (corn cake). It was largely as expected except that the "grilled steak" was thin and tough, and having tasted the questionable fish beforehand, I didn't enjoy any of it. Service? Well, he brought the food, but I had to go to the counter to look for him to order a second Colombian beer (different type this time, but similarly undistinguished). Later, he shouted across the restaurant from behind the counter to ask if we wanted anything else; even though the place was empty. ' Won't be back...

Unlike many restaurants, the fajita portion was not just a big pile of onions and whatever cheap vegetables they had on hand. This had a great assortment of green peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, and carrots. The flavors were great. The side plate came with refried beans, rice, guacamole, lettuce, and onions. The serving was very generous, and I'll easily get a few meals out of it. It also reheats really well. For the quality, portion size, and leftovers, this is a real bargain.

They have a salsa bar and I highly recommend trying them all--each one has its own flavor and they're all equally good. Another big plus: they serve lengua (cow's tongue). For us, that's always a sign of an authentic Mexican spot. The restaurant itself is spacious, and I really liked the booths with tall dividers between tables. It adds a bit of privacy and makes the space feel more comfortable. There's also music playing in the background which gives it a relaxed vibe. A big thank you to the staff who went above and beyond. Since all the tables near outlets were taken, they kindly let me charge my laptop by the register. Small gesture, but truly appreciated. Great food, welcoming staff, and a comfortable atmosphere--definitely a place worth stopping by.

We notified them that we would have 3 checks... no problem al all. I would give SIX stars to the staff because they always exceed expectations. We ordered a variety of items (including vegetarian dishes, kid's dishes, etc.) and everyone was very pleased with the quality and quantity of food. This is typical "Americanized" Mexican food and a good bang for your buck. By the way, they do give you chips and salsa. But here's a tip: order a side order of queso dip. It is warm & creamy and a relatively large portion that you can share with others. It's nice to dip a chip in salsa, then the next chip in queso, then back to salsa, and so on. If you have any left, pour it over your beans & rice or entree.

Plenty of parking outside with modern signage. Now has outdoor seating. It has grown up into a standard mature but still solid Mexican place. Clean setting . The salsa bar is still here an excellent feature. Fresh ingredients and made salsa. Plenty on limes and cilantro. The service is great and responsive. Vibe is Mexican music playing in background and loud enough to dominate but not drown out table conversation. Full bar (pool table now gone). Plenty of TVs in bar area. Plenty of tables for seating through out this place with booths and tables. Can accommodate large parties with the central tables. Now to the food. Comes out warm and hot. I got the steak burrito and a couple of tacos carne asada and Al pastor. Chips came in advance. Chips were solid and fresh. Burrito not well wrapped and very hot with the butter grilled cooking of the tortilla. Basic with steak cut into small bite size pieces and rice and beans. Not evenly distributed and quickly fell apart when handling after a few bites. Tacos with single corn tortilla and respective meats and you dress yourself with onions and cilantro and limes from the salsa bar. Food better than OK. Final assessment, if you are in the neighborhood this is a solid place. Very reasonably priced. Family and large group friendly or just for a single or couple at the bar. Would not go out of my way for this place but in my case left my downtown hotel with a $12 uber to reminisce and happy to have done it. 4 stars because very solid. Not 5 stars because wouldn't travel and go out of my way to go here.

Anyway, going to give this a 3.75/5. The cheese dip, which is the favorite of the table (and our son) was not fully heated and seemed like it was missing something. Not sure. The rest of the food was generally good and cooked to order. The staff was friendly and quick to respond to anything we needed. The inside looked clean from the walk and sitting area we observed from. The parking lot was really bumpy through the entrance we came in - not their fault of course, just take the one entrance just past it and double back. If you have a kiddo just FYI we learned the high chairs were barely big enough for our 2.5 YO (he's roughly 30 lbs) - you may want to bring a booster or try to sit in a booth with them to the wall. We'll probably give it one more go to support something other than the 15 burger joints going up Emory, lol. SYOY!
