It was so nice to have so many options! The servers were very nice and although we had a reservation, we probably didn't need one. I tried the passion fruit drink - yummm! It was very refreshing on a hot day. I also got the vegan patacones, which here is almost like a sandwich (like a jibarito) and it was SO good. The portion sizes are huge and all the food came out fairly quick. I'll definitely be coming here more often!

We had dinner at Bryanna's for the first time last evening. There were four people in our party and…read moreeach of us had the same things to say after dinner and that was that this restaurant was a great find and a real neighborhood gem. Their menu is large with many choices to consider. We started with a Boquita Compuesta which included a delicous assortment taquitos, tostaditas and mini-tacos as well as and order of Tortitas de Papa, three incredibly tasty Guatemalan style potato croquettes. Our main courses consisted of two orders of the Churrasco Guatelmalteco which consisted of an 8 oz. Rib Eye Steak, Grilled Green Onion, Guacamole, Fried Black Beans, Rice, and Longaniza an order of Pepian Mayan chicken stew with potatoes, green beans and imported Guatemalan spices with a side of rice and tortillas and lat but not least an order of Chuletas which consisted of two pork chops prepared in a white wine and onions, served with a side of fried sweet plantain, rice and beans. For dessert, we shared an order of the Mollete Guatemalan style bread pudding glazed with a sweet, light caramel sauce. The servers were very friendly and accomodating allowing us to enjoy an unrushed dinner. To top it off, the food and beverage prices were very reasonable. All in all, a wonderful, delightful dinner in an "Five Star" neighborhood gem.

Love, love, love this place! We had a group event here so we didn't order from the menu, but we did…read moreget to sample more items that way. Appetizer combo was excellent as was their bean dip- it was more fluid than the average and tasted great. Unusual salad that included beets, apples and green olives. I thought the beet and apple elevate the average salad, but am not a big fan of olives. The best thing on the entree platter was definitely the only-slightly sweet corn tamale. They made us a vegan version of green chicken stew which is traditional Guatemalan dish. The tomatillos make the sauce green and it is tasty. The other traditional Mayan dish was a vegetable Pepian stew (normally beef).

This place has exceptionally prepared food. Beef empanadas were amazing. Passionfruit (Maracuya)…read morejuice was a delicious discovery for me. The dining companion next to me ordered a "cake pan" size combination called Paisa with excellent red beans, crispy pork belly, avocado, chorizo, plantain, and he ate the entire pan, managing to scrape up every bit. (there is a spectacular 3-tiered version which would be good for celebrating something.) Another had the Arroz Paisa, rice with sausage, corn and Colombian seasonings. I had an arrape stuffed with the same delicious shredded beef in my empanada but seemed a bit less succulent, so I added a little of the pico de galle salsa that you can get on the side with the empanada (ask if it isn't offered.). The cooking, doneness, flavors, are perfection to me. So many choices; they even have lasagna and cheeseburgers (with very good fries)....Great tiramisu cake and Columbian coffee. The variety is remarkable for a place with authentic and finely prepared Colombian food. Owners Karen and JuanCarlos (owner) are soo nice and helpful! One small note and it is NOT a criticism: All of our (seven) dinners did not arrive at the same time. Food was brought out as each dish was completed. I liked that because it meant food preparation is critical to them. They don't line things up under warming lights where they sit until all dinners are completed. The food is Numero Uno here!!!

New Colombian restaurant in Uptown and cannot be more happy that it's down the street from me!…read more Karen served us and while she's a little more on the calm side, she was nice and took care of us greatly. We ordered two empanadas (one Hawaiian & one beef) and they were good, however they didn't really have much ingredients inside the empanada. Most Colombian empanadas have potatoes, sofrito, cilantro, etc but I didn't notice it with this one. They also sadly didn't have any ají when we went but they had some sort of Asian chili sauce which actually complimented it well, but it was not at all authentic nor common. We also ordered two jugo naturales (one lulo and the other mango) and they were delicious! For our mains we got Ajiaco soup and the picada pequeña. Both were delicious overall. I've had better Ajiaco soups but overall it was good. I do with they left more crema and capers on the table to add to the soup though. Definitely will be back!

I love the feeling of stepping into this restaurant and feeling like you're at a restaurant in Colombia. The ambiance on the weekend is great with live music every Saturday.

Prior to seeing this establishment on DDD I had no idea what Peruvian food was. Boy am I glad I found out. On the outside this is a very unassuming place in a rather rundown strip mall. But I was taught not to judge a book by its cover. When we went in there I think we were expecting something that would have been some cheap rubbery junk. Man were we surprised when we had a 5 star dinner in a 2 star atmosphere. I was hooked after that. I totally loved it and have been a semi regular since what I believe was 2015. We go here from Wheeling. The only improvement I can suggest is to open one in the Northern burns so you can have more of my money.

Loved both the red and green salsa--the green has a little kick but nothing too spicy. We also ordered the Pepian, which the waitress told us was a Guatemalan staple.

They're thicker tortillas and it went great with the Pepian. We'll be coming back to try the breakfast!! The ladies working here were also suuuuper nice, so go support this restaurant!
