Place is lively. Servers are very sweet and efficient. Portions were larger than expected, my son and I had to take boxes for the extra.

What a wonderful local treat whether you speak English or Spanish, we were made to feel this is our “home,” and we are welcome. The food was strange but over the top tasty. We tried plantains, a sweet banana with home made guacamole, fried whole snapper, sweet, crisp,and wonderfully moist, and a seafood soup called mariscosa. We’ve since returned again to the same warm welcome and even better flavors as we try more. A couple more seafood dishes to try, and then some steak, though no one cooks steak as rare as we like. Don’t know how so small a restaurant can offer such variety, but it does. This place is worth a 20 minute drive.

Delicious columbian food. Their bono bread melts in your mouth. Get there early for it. Their plates portions are very good. The smoothies or licuados are so delicious. We weren’t crazy about the steak but maybe its just us. The pork was thick and crunchy very yummy. I wasnt familiar with the tortilla and cheese. It was interesting. You can definitely share these plates. Will return to try other plates. The plantains of course were delicious.

A very cute little place, amazing food and lovely staff. The wait staff mostly speak Spanish, and I was lucky that my friend was fluent, but it seemed like they could understand English just fine as well if you aren’t familiar with the language. Lots of authentic food and drink options, I absolutely loved their blackberry shake! I can’t fully remember correctly but I believe the menu was also in Spanish. The flan de tres leches was delicious as well.
