Stopped in discovered they opened about a month ago. Ordered a sampler of empanadas: chicken, beef, and ham/cheese for under $10 to go. Everything was prepared as I waited in their little dining room that has a few tables and some high tops along two counters facing outside. Quaint. Charming. A little cramped. I loved it. The menu is a mixture of traditional American breakfast and lunch plus Mexican dishes like tostados, salchipapas, asada, choripan, and empanadas to name a few. I can see where they might build a quick takeout business. My empanadas were delicious. Looking to give a new business a try without breaking the bank. Has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter heading back before I can put my shoes on. Go here.

First of all, this place is amazing. I've had the pleasure of eating here 4 times now as it is…read moreover an hour from my house, but each time it's as good and better than the last. The service is always stellar despite a small language barrier, the people always talk to you and are even considerate of my small Spanish speaking ability. And the restaurant has a truly Colombian feel, small and intimate very similar to the restaurants I frequent in Barranquilla and Santa Marta. Truly thankful I found this place and look forward to eating here again very soon.

The dining space is quite large and the seating was somewhat comfortable. It has more of a…read morerestaurant than a cafe feel. I just wanted something to snack on so despite the large menu, I chose to get a guava and cheese empanada. The flavor was good but it wasn't worth the price tag (almost $5). I tried to order a nitro cold brew but was told they were out, and had been for years.....so I ordered an iced cafe con leche. I had to ask for it 3 times because the cashier didn't seem to know what is was, despite being on the menu hanging above her head. Her co-worker had to show her which button to hit on the POS. I'm sorry to say that this was the worst coffee I've ever had. No flavor at all. It tasted like watered down milk. They should probably fix their menu because calling that a cafe con leche was completely misleading. Overall, a very unpleasant experience.

(I grabbed a pillow for working with my sore back.) Lovely chill vibe. Even the regulars are friendly! Great food & drink options- they offer catering services. Nice place to meet up with friends or business associates. Lots of parking also. And they offer a formalized working space next door for those who need to rent a work spot on a more consistent basis. A new favorite of mine.

I also got the elote loco. I really wanted a traditional elote but the lady said elote loco and I replied yes, and so that's how that went. Not even 10 min later my food was out. They give complimentary chips & salsa. The elote loco was ok. Not usually something I would order but wasn't bad. I ate it all. Worth ordering twice if you're a fan of the red stuff. My burrito was a decent size. Short and fat. Rolled terribly. All of the guac and little bit of sour cream was on one side of the burrio and the other end had the chicken and rice. There was a thin amount of beans. The chicken was hella dry. Like it has been cooked a day before and reheated in a microwave. The flavor was lacking. The chips and salsa. The chips were warmed, but the salsa was giving crushed tomatoes with garlic. It was more of a tomato than a salsa. Personally, I wouldn't come back but they do have other dishes and so maybe I just ordered something that isn't one of their bests. My total was around $26. A bit steep for such mid food.
