The restaurant had some lovely paintings, traditional bags, flowers, and other decorations. We were excited to try some traditional Colombian food, and appreciated the diversity of the menu. We ordered the bandeja tipica and the arroz con Camaro was, which was more than enough for two adults and two toddlers. My favorite was the arroz con camarones, as the yellow rice was wonderfully spiced and flavorful. The shrimp were delicious, and the tostones in both dishes also scrumptious and not too dry. The bandeja tipica's steak was cooked just right, that is to say not overcooked and still tender. The pork belly was too fatty for our taste, but it had a crispy texture and was well-seasoned. For their amount of meat and overall portion, the prices were fair to slightly high. The service was pretty good. We enjoyed our experience, but probably wouldn't go out of our way if we were in the area again.

This charming little restaurant had been closed for renovations, and while I'm not exactly sure when they reopened, the updated space looks wonderful and cozy. The service is humble and friendly, but please be patient - the server is also the cook, and the whole staff pitches in to keep things running smoothly. Since it's a smaller establishment, if you need anything, it's best to walk up to the front and ask for assistance. I ordered two chicken tacos and two spicy beef tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. Honestly, everything on the menu is worth trying!

If you're the type who loves to discover ethnic, storefront restaurants serving great food, you…read morewill LOVE this place. If you prefer someplace fancy with more formal service, skip it. (That will make it easier for me.) This is one of the many Latin restaurants in Holyoke who serve lots of yummy options out of a steam table (like stewed chicken, rice, beans, maybe even some oxtail). They do that here too, and it's quite good. BUT what makes this place so special are the formal menu items. Like fried whole snapper or shrimp mofungo...they were incredible! In fact, it may be the most flavorful shrimp dish I've had since moving to Western MA 3 years ago. There's one more reason to go: Carlos the chef/owner. He's incredibly frriendly and charming and loves talking about food. They were wrapping up for the day when we were there (they close at 7 and we showed up around 6:30) and he made us feel so welcome. WHile the staff were getting ready for the next day, he came and chatted with us. This guy loves food and he loves making customers happy. How can you not love a place like that?
