The shrimp and the octopus was perfectly "cooked" in the juice. I felt the white fish could have soaked a little more. But it was great - I loved it. We also ordered El Borracho which is a slightly different take on the standard Arroz con Mariscos. there was an abundance of seafood along with the tasty rice. Lastly we had the standard Lomo Saltado. The beef was very, very tasty and really tender. Overall, it was a fantastic meal. The interior of the restaurant is kind of a standard strip mall restaurant. So don't expect anything fancy. The parking lot was small and full. But street parking was not a problem. However, service was wonderful. For drinks, we only wanted water - our normal. The glass mugs came cold from the fridge with ice cubes. Nice touch. The food did take a long time to come from the kitchen, so that would be my only gripe.

Tallarin Verde Con Pollo a La Plancha (3.5/5): sauce was good and noodles were a good texture. The chicken was a bit rubbery though and the sauce was a bit much in terms of oil.

The rice had hard chunks in it too. The shrimp was RUBBERY! Oh no, how can you not cook shrimp!? The ambiance is nice I give it that, but I haven't been checked up on, and as I'm writing this, still waiting for my check. Geez. Not coming here again honestly. I miss Mangos.

The menu is diverse and features many traditional Colombian delights. I tried the Llanero Combo, which included a comforting bowl of beef rib broth with potatoes; delicate, rich, and very pleasing to the palate. I paired it with Colombian coffee, the kind grandma used to make, and a refreshing lulo juice. The main dish was a generous combination of pork, beef, potatoes, yuca, and sweet fried plantains, served with ají and guacamole. Everything was delicious and well prepared. On top of that, the service provided by our server, Esmeralda, was exceptional; attentive, friendly, and always smiling. The atmosphere is cozy, and the Colombian-themed décor and music create a warm ambiance that brings back wonderful memories. Definitely a place worth returning to. Medallo... for sure, my friend.
