the location is outside of my typical area, but i was curious to try the empanadas…read more the restaurant was clean and quiet, there is plenty of seating and ample parking. the empanadas - i had one each of the chicken and beef. they were finger-burning hot, even after 15 minutes of letting them sit to cool, but i was so excited to try them, so i had to dig in regardless of the burn they were pretty greasy & small. the beef was really good. the chicken was stuffed with a tiny trace of chicken and i dunno what else, maybe masa, but they are definitely mostly filled with the other ingredient and way too little chicken, so it was hard to judge the taste and texture of the chicken. the corn "shell" was nothing to write home about. so-so. it was reasonably priced, but the portions were teeny. the salsa provided was a cucumber-ish relish or similar, refreshing and not spicy at all. it was just ok, or may be a better accompaniment with a different dish. i may go again, to try a few of their dishes & if we go back, i will certainly update my review

El manager, aunque muy amable, no hizo absolutamente nada para arreglar en algo tan terrible experiencia. Lamentable! The positive: The service. The negative: The food. We ordered a chicken sancocho and a seafood casserole; we were served shoe leather and cheap Walmart seafood with three pieces of imitation crab meat. $65 thrown in the trash. The manager, although very friendly, did absolutely nothing to make up for such a terrible experience. Disappointing!

There were four of us, so we shared several different dishes, which was the perfect way to experience the menu. Every single plate was a hit! We chose to sit on the back patio, and it couldn't have been a more perfect evening. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it easy to linger over great food, drinks, and conversation. If you're looking for authentic Colombian food, tasty cocktails, and a great patio vibe, La Chiva is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back!

The latte was a perfect blend of coffee and frothy milk, sprinkled with cinnamon powder. The pastel de guava paired well with my latte. The bread was warm and soft, and the center was filled with the slightly sweet guava. I stopped in for an afternoon coffee. With it being my first time in, I walked in about 10 minutes to close. I try not to do drop in so close to closing time so I asked if it was okay that I order. The staff were welcoming and friendly and I didn't feel rushed at all. The cafe has a nice selection of pasteles & breads, offering both savory and sweet options. It's a small cafe but a very cozy place to enjoy a coffee and a snack. With so many different choices, I cannot wait to go back.

The combination of the stewed beef with the sweetness of the plantains was amazing, and it was clearly made with quality ingredients and lots of care.
