The building is that of an old diner but as soon as you walk in, the aroma smelled so good. It's also a good sign to see a lot of Colombians there. We went for lunch on a Sunday and there were a variety of families, couples and other groups. We ordered the half chicken, a chicken platter and a... More

VERY crowded..Must get there early...before 6 on any night! The food is amazing. The place doesn't look like much (used to be an old fashion diner) and it's cramped inside but it's definitely worth a visit.

Went there this weekend in search of a place not too far from home. Had to wait 15 minutes for a table. The place is noisy! The portions are huge and generally not too expensive at all. I had the daily soup-good, not great. We shared the bandeja paisa-typical Colombian plate with rice, beans, steak, chicarrones, and an egg. Good,... More

Delicious colombian cuisine- chicken melts in your mouth. Not much on atmosphere but the seafood, chicken and authentic dishes are reasonably priced. No wonder people are lined up to eat here!

Forget going to the high priced, "I need to be seen at the IN restaurants." If you want the BEST food, this is the place for you. The incredible smells from the parking lot had me hooked. The restaurant has the ambiance of a local Colombian eatery, very pedestrian in appearance. A place for locals, as well as the gringo's.... More

If you area fan of Latin and Columbian food you will ove this place. Their rotisserie chicken is deliciously juicy and condimented to perfection. Their skirt steak is beautifully char broiled and flavorful as well. The service is impeccable. The waiters and the owners and managers are extremely courteous and hospitable. There is a long wait during dinner hours and... More
