Incredible experience! Located in an unassuming strip mall, this place is truly a gem. Everything we sampled was excellent. We even left we a half dozen pandebono (cheese bread) because they were so wonderful. The Bandeja Taste with Molida is a great way to sample a variety of items and it’s perfect to share. Don’t skip the Torta Negra, it’s like Colombian fruit cake. It’s a lovely way to end the meal.

Love this Columbian restaurant! The service was great. Prices are okay. I tried the arepa con queso for the first time, and we loved it. I wish my beans had been more hot, they got cold really fast and I don’t like to eat hot food cold. We visited on a Sunday, and as soon as we sat down, the restaurant got so busy with more people coming in. I can’t wait to go back and try other menu items.

Stopped in for lunch and it was nice and clean. Service was really good and super attentive. The food was just okay and lacked seasoning or tasted just bland. This was the only missing factor.

From mouthwatering empanadas to savory bandeja paisa, every bite is a celebration of Colombian cuisine. The warm and welcoming atmosphere adds to the overall experience. Highly recommended!

Great food! I love their mango milk smoothie! Good size place with friendly staff. It tends to get quite a lot of people on the weekends but it’s worth the wait! Definitely a must if you want to try some good Colombian food.

CUSTOMER FOR LIFE! My first time having this delicious food, was ordering in from UberEATS. If it is THAT good after taking a 30 min ride, I can’t wait to dine in. I’d never eaten Columbian food before, so I asked if they could combine different empanadas so I could try them all. Look at the notes they left me, the labeling on all the food, the above and beyond customer service for even a takeout order!!! These are the local businesses I LOVE to support. And will…time and time again.

Colombian food is delicious. This little spot is kind of a hidden gem, I used to go there about 8plus years ago when I worked close to there then kind of forgot about it until recently and went on a date there for lunch with my husband. We both got the sandwich, kind of looks panini and came with a side of fries. I’ve tried other plates there, my favorite is the one that has scramble eggs with side of pork grinds and maybe rice and beans and sweet plantain but they got a lot of options to choose from. Their arepas were not my favorite, lacked some flavor.
