The food is good. Arepas. Tostones. And many other latin american dishes. Deserts are awesome. Prices and Service are fair. I can say that I would go back to this restaurant to explore their menu. read more

So first off, HOLY FOOD. The quantity and quality of food you get for your money is mind blowing…read more I'm ashamed to say my GF and I couldn't eat it all. Secondly, yes we got Colombian food in Barcelona (she's Colombian). The Empanadas were great and she was thoroughly impressed. Being that it was my first time trying Colombian food I enjoyed it as well. We shared a Bandeja Paisa and it was outstanding. My favorite parts were the maduros(fried sweet plantains) and chicharrón (fried pork). We also had Colombian beer, by we were so into our food we sat at the end of our meal trying to finish them. So glad we found this place and made it a part of our trip.
Delicious ribs, smoked and cooked twice. Tastes like smoked bacon. A little dry, TBH.

The Fennel, cherry tomato, dill, and grated limes salad with kalamansi vinaigrette was refreshing and light, a good complement to the meaty and heavy steak. I really liked it.

What really disappointed me was being charged $9 for a plate of French fries with an egg that tasted awful. On top of that, I was charged $3.60 for tap water, which felt excessive and unnecessary.

We ordered the Mixed Grill for 2 and I joked my only complaint was that it didn't list it being for 4. So much food and every single grilled piece of meat was so juicy and flavorful. The cocktails were craft works of art and full of flavor. We ended up joking that we opted for a liquid dessert instead by ordering one of their tropical cocktails after dinner. Great ambiance and decor, and when we booked reservations I think through trip advisor or viator they gave us a 30% discount.

My s.o. had the spaghetti carbonara, of a size she couldn't finish and veeery good. Classic recipe with fatty bacon and lots of egg yolk. The complementary shots after the meal were very nice, a blend of fresh lime juice and tequila, I guess. Moderate prices for the served quality, a nice thing to find in Barcelona. A place to remember for the next visit.

Onto the next course, we had carne asasda, that was served with beans, rice, avocado, a salsa fresca, fresh cheese and maiz tortillas that were made to order. The carne was delicious, bursting with flavor of cumin and garlic. Everything else was also good. The Honduran beer, SalvaVida was enjoyable - a light lager-type beer, with a little more flavor than Corona, and a bit less sweet. The meal was very reasonably priced. I will be going back for more - I saw photos of the nacatamales and I really want to try them.

If you are in…read moreBarcelona and craving an authentic, top-tier meat experience, this place delivers an absolute masterclass in flavor and hospitality. Our party of 5 was completely blown away by a flawless meal that started with a tender, beautifully tangy lengua a la vinagretaand a perfectly crisp, refreshing salad. The milanesa a la napolitana was golden and done perfectly, the parrillada was fantastic, and the Uruguayan bife de vacío among the best we've had. The entrecot was exceptionally juicy, packed with rich, deep flavor. Just when we thought the experience couldn't get any better, the desserts arrived - pancakes, ice cream, coffee - all great. , Staff was warm, attentive, and efficient. The fantastic vibe is also mentionable. Such an amazing surprise!

I also did notice that a lot of the folks who you could see from outside where Spanish people or a lighter skin color as opposed to those who you couldn't really see who were of a darker skin color. We decided to go for their daily menu, which I had tried before and was really good. I got their 29.99 menu and both my boyfriend and mom got their 17.99 one. The abre boca for my menu was small, but fairly good. The ceviche was also good but not as fresh as in other places or the last time I was here. For entrées we got arroz con mariscos, jalea de pescado, and tallarín saltado de pollo. The arroz con mariscos was outstanding, definitely get it if you try this place. The tallarín saltado was pretty good too. The "jalea" was okay, the breading they use was a bit different than the classic one but it wasn't bad. The desserts were not good. We got two crema volteadas and a tres leches. The crema volteada was hard and the tres leches not moist. My first experience with this place a year ago was much better than this time around. In the past, I would've given them a 4, but unfortunately, this time I have to give them a 3.
