We enjoyed this place.... we had our toddler with us and he was in a mood, so we were happy to find that the restaurant was fairly noisy. Downstairs by the bathrooms there was a nice sitting area that was perfect for a screaming child. The food was really good. We had the Entrana steak and chicken combination. It was... More

I went with a group of 10 and our service was good. They sat us at a long table and I was unfortunate enough to sit on the bench side of the table so I really was not comfortable. I ordered the churrasquito steak which was pretty good. I didn't think the sides that came with it were very interesting.... More

I ordered the smaller portion churrasquito cut and it was delicious!! It comes with yuca and sweet plantain and the portions were just right. I think that for $18 this is a great deal in a great ambiance.We went late on a Friday night and did not have trouble finding parking. The only thing I do miss from Las Tablas... More

One of the best Colombian restaurants I have been in the US. The steaks are the best, love their bandeja paisa, chimichurri, empanadas, patacon pisao with steak and cheese on top. If you like steak and want a break from the taste-less American steakhouses around, go here. Their skirt steaks are grilled to perfection and marinated in some sort of... More

We decided to visit after learning about the place from a tv show. The atmosphere is lacking - one large room with tables on top of tables. Their famed steak lacked flavor as did the two sauces. Service was fine. BYOB during the week was a plus. I won't go there the next time I have a craving for steak.... More

I like this place a lot because of the food, the platter--grill flank steak with shrmip is excellent value and great flavor, the empanada and the seafood platter are also very very good. However their service is very slow, the host is not very efficent and last time when we went with groupon, they weren't very nice about it. So... More

We bought a coupon for this restaurant because we wanted to try Colombian food. The portions are crazy huge! We started with Pulpitos al carbon, baby octopus marinated in a garlic. It was delicious! For main dish we had the Entraña and the Churrasco. The meat was tender and juicy and was kept warm on a flat top in the... More
