Everything is always fresh. The traditional carne asada is a classic for a reason, but my personal favorite is the asada in jalapeño sauce. That little kick sets it apart. The fried cheese is a must order too, don't skip it. They've upgraded the cabbage salad from the classic bag to a plastic cup. I had a soft spot for the bag, but the cup is a nice touch. Pair it all with a Postobon Manzana or a Colombiana and you're set.

My experience here was awesome. I'm actually still sitting here. I was helped by Patricia who was…read morespectacular; the order came out as I'd hoped for with specific attention to my liking. Her customer service and attention to detail was awesome, ensuring she stopped by multiple times throughout to top off water and check on my experience. I went with the grilled Chicken breast and double side of tostones which tasted fantastic. Of note, I covered the tostones in the garlic like sauce while they were hot, which rendered them a fine combo of crunchy and somewhat soft- in short, awesome. Personally, no meal is finished without some form of coffee at the end. I admit this habit stems from my upbringing and a penchant for American, French and Italian fare but this was no different. I enjoyed a Cortadito which tasted amazing and had beautiful presentation. If I could rate this experience 6 stars I would. They knocked it out of the park. Note: They're FIU student, police and county friendly to boot.

Absolutely Hands Down Favorite Colombia Restaurant in Miami!!!…read more This is a mom and pop place with outstanding service and food is top tier purely Colombian. Large plates, fresh food made to order, and quick service. The prices are great for the amount of food you receive. Lots of parking because it's hidden in a shopping center. We tried their Calentado con huevos, arepa, café con leche. We are 100% coming back to try more haha.

You'll get some small patches of uncooked rice every once in a while. The amount of food you get is an absurd amount. Like, you get huge portions. For what you're paying, you are eating like a King. The ambiance inside is quiet and very classic. It reminds me of southern Spain. I would recommend Uber Eats if they deliver to you.

I ordered a chicken soup that was 2 stars at best, then I asked her about the pork sandwich and she lost her patience, so her explanation was "¿lo quieres i no?" The sandwich was good, maybe 4 stars. The whole time there I got water once, my glass was empty, and all the plates in front of me the entire time, I finished and 10 minutes later nobody noticed me so I put $15 cash and left. It's been a while since I felt so mistreated and of course I'm not coming back ever again.

Unfortunately, during our visit, there was a man being extremely rude to the woman working there. Seeing how uncomfortable she was, we felt like we had to step in and defend her. Everything else about our experience was great, but it did make me think they should have some kind of system where employees can quickly request backup or assistance when needed, especially when working alone in the express section since it's somewhat separated from the main restaurant. Aside from that situation, we had a good experience. There's plenty of outdoor seating and parking available, which is always a plus. I would definitely come back!

We ordered two sampler dishes where a little bit of everything was served. The pork belly was my favorite along with the fried seafood. Having had a lot of rice in my diet, I was surprised how good the fried rice was, so definitely get a fried rice item. The award winning Mac and cheese is also a must get. The only thing I did not like here is the dessert. They are overly sweet, but that seems to be the case with every dessert I've tried so far in southern Florida.

I look at her and chuckle/laugh and correct her by showing her the time on the phone, 9:50pm. She goes on to say they've already closed the kitchen. I then ask if the owner is present. I'm told No and then ask how they'd feel knowing their employees are turning away clients. Can we call him/ her? That's when she says to hold on let me go ask someone else. By then, the damage was done. She was adamant about not serving us. By this time, I had zero confidence nothing disgusting would be done to my food so I told her to forget about it. They don't want my business, I'll take it elsewhere. Which I did. Went to BJs around the corner and spent my $115 tab. The server there appreciated the $22 tip they got and We enjoyed the food and drinks. Terrible service. Mgmt and ownership should read this review. I won't be back.

They boast both indoor and outdoor seating with the same aesthetic and nods to Colombian culture, like the cute hats and sandals hanging on the wall. We were seated inside fairly quickly on the Sunday afternoon we came in. They were pretty busy, but the waiters were kind of hanging out at the bar, just chit-chatting. We were able to get one of the servers to look at us after a couple of minutes of sitting there. They brought us a little palate-opener of a small portion of a simple soup. They had a margarita special we tried, $5 frozen margaritas. The maracuya (passion fruit) one was a solid choice. I also ordered the mojarra frita with white rice, tostones, and salad. The rice was really undercooked. The waiter tried to appease us by bringing us more of the same uncooked rice. We were not the only table to say something about it because our neighbors confirmed they too received the same and were also unhappy. Other than that, the rest of my meal was great. However, I will say my mom was very upset with her experience and expressed that her chicken wasn't prepared well either.
