Loaded with meats and topping such a good appetizer for sharing! The bandeja paisa was good but I wish the meats were a bit more flavorful. The flan wasn't bad but it did not need the added sprinkles. The fresh juices are amazing I really enjoyed the mango and would definitely order this again! Overall not a bad experience I just enjoy the unique modern dishes that LCPX cafe offers more than what's offered here. I went with two other people and we shared the app and main entree and still had leftover food so the portions are HUGE!

We ordered the legendary 1905 Salad, a classic Cuban sandwich, and iced tea--everything was fresh, perfectly prepared, and delicious. The beautiful, historic atmosphere is always a treat, but it's the top-notch service from staff like Luisa that truly makes a visit memorable. We will definitely be back and will be asking for her section!

The shrimp dishes are fresh, tender and full of flavor. Authentic food, gracious service, over a century of tradition. Must visit!

This place is great and has quickly become a family staple. The food is always fresh and delicious, the Club Colombia beer is cold and yummy, and the service is top notch. The bandeja paisa is a must have, as well as the tequeños and salchipapa which is a HUGE dish. You can split that between four people and still have leftovers and the price of that dish is insane for the amount of food you get. The bakery section is also amazing. You have so many options for baked goods, empanadas, bread, everything you can think of. Make sure you stop by and check it out because I know you're going to love it as much as I do!

Came here for lunch bc my husband got a $10 off for his birthday month…read more He ordered the 1/2 chicken with rice and beans and plantains. The chicken here is unfortunately dry and not seasoned too well. The best part was probably the beans and rice. I still think of the aijiaco too which it was just too hot for me to order on a scorching August day. (Colombian chicken stew). I'll probably be back in the winter for that Aijiaco, but the chicken we will pass. Service was okay this time, and ambiance is quite nice in here.

I still love the sancocho de res(Beef stew) here. The prices are still pretty decent considering how much everything cost now. They have two sizes, small and large and the small is def more than enough($8). I love leftovers, but never seem to finish these kind of leftovers. It comes with white rice, beans, and plantains. We also ordered the sancocho de gallina(chicken). The chicken has bones. The beef in my soup is tender and no bones and no fat so pretty effortless. We also ordered a small lechona. It really is just a bunch of rice and some shredded pork and the skin. No big deal and not a repeat. I wish we didn't order it because that was just way too much rice with our orders. We love ordering almojabana usually(Colombian cheese bread). We didn't buy any this time, and I usually get a passion fruit smoothie. I didn't love my experience here this time. It is always crowded which is good for them. But the volume is so loud in here. But it's very good, traditional, and less expensive. No frills no atmosphere, not updated, just good Colombian food. Parking can be difficult here too so be patient.

The chicharrón was my favorite. We also had coffee and a pan de bono. The flavors were in point well seasoned and although the place is small it was busy. Definitely worth the visit.

The ladies working were not familiar at all. They also were not friendly and helpful. I was pretty sad. It did make me feel like the previous owners were gone bc either one were there. I hope they are still around and eventually when I come back, I can update this review. We ordered the Hawaiian hot dog and the arepa with beef and chicken. Something was missing. Also we ordered two empanadas. I like their green chimmichuri sauce with it, and as soon as I asked for it, she walked away and never came back. Even the pic on the outside sign shows them with that sauce, but nope never got it. They also have their usual Colombian drinks which are Postobon and Colombiana. They are more expensive and smaller sizes. We will definitely take a break from here. Hope the owners that we know and love will be there.
