As Ecuadorians, we also had the opportunity to watch the Ecuador vs. Germany World Cup match there, which made the experience even more special. The owner was incredibly kind and celebrated the excitement of the game with us, making us feel truly welcome. His daughter, who was our waitress, provided impeccable service from start to finish. We also loved that they have a market with a great selection of Colombian products, and we couldn't resist taking several items home. Between the warm hospitality, the amazing atmosphere, and the outstanding food, this was an unforgettable experience. We will definitely return the next time we're in Las Vegas. Highly recommended!

Amazing First Visit, Disappointing Second One! Be careful when ordering!…read more I heard so many great things about the infamous churrasco at this restaurant, so I made the trip and ordered it. My first visit (May 16th) was outstanding! The churrasco was a decent, juicy, and tender NY Strip Steak with perfect thickness, served over yuca fries, sweet plantains, and potatoes. The chimichurri on the side wasn't the authentic Argentinian recipe, but it was still good. I ordered it medium rare, exactly how I like it, and it was amazing, tasty, and delicious. (See photo #1.) Today (June 19th), I decided to stop by again--but it was a huge disappointment. The churrasco I received didn't taste like NY Strip Steak and tasted like the regular cheap meat you get when you go to a bad cheap Mexican restaurant and order the famous carne asada plate. It wasn't cooked to the medium temperature I ordered. The cut was extremely thin, almost like Carne Asada or Chuck Roast (the kind used for their $9.99 corrientazo or the meat they served on the "Bandeja Paisa plate" . It was dried, rubbery, and had no taste whatsoever. I mentioned the issue to the waiter and even showed him the meat while asking for the bill. He told me, "I'm sorry, today was your unlucky day , I will let them know"?. This is Unacceptable. A good restaurant management should approach the customer and replace the meal or not even charging ! He acknowledged it was completely wrong when he saw the meat and apologized sincerely. That honesty was appreciated, but it's stories like this that make a restaurant lose its reputation and push customers away. In my case, I'm now afraid to come back and waste my money. First photo: My amazing churrasco from May 5th. Photos 2 & 3: The disappointing churrasco from today (June 19th). I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and improves consistency. A great restaurant can easily become a great and reliable one with better attention to detail. Maybe the cooks picked the wrong meat or sliced it wrong? Just look at images 2 & 3 and compare the big difference--thin and dried! I'm a bit upset about wasting my money for pretty much garbage.

At first we were hesitant because we didn't know what to get, we just wanted the $11.99 lunch special. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the owner, and then directed to pick a booth we liked. And then our waitress took out the menus and explained every single section and her recommendations. She also gave us a sampler of the empanada, the bunuelo, and some kind of cheesy bagel bread. Wow! Service was remarkable- I felt like I was back home with my mom/grandma as she was taking care of us! Ultimately, we ordered (I can't remember the actual names) a chicken, plantain and corn soup ($17.99) with rice, a vegetarian fried plantain and salsa entree ($8.99) and a soursop $5.99 and a lulo $5.99 (for water based) drink. Everything was so delicious- we couldn't believe it. It was also nice and cool inside, with lots of fans, and had a dark ambience. They also had lots of TVs on to watch futbol! Please try this exceptional place if you're in the area and have never had Colombian food. They're so kind and welcoming!

Of course I forget that you have to get there early before the bread sells out. It's something about the fresh baked loaf that's stuffed with mozzarella cheese. Basically cheese and bread is a match made in heaven. They normally have it first thing and tends to sell out a couple hours later. Sometimes they have extra batches but majority once it's gone, it's gone. I remember speaking to someone a while back where they said u could preorder. I've never done that but maybe it's the way to go so I can secure the goods. Besides the bread, they have a nice display case of amazing pastries and other baked goods. Candies and sweets are also available as well as empanadas. The weekend does get quite busy as well as the morning. We popped in just around 1:30 and majority of the cases were already empty. It was slim pickings in what was left so I had to make do. Of course it just makes the next trip worth it, hopefully. Also it's in a strip mall that's off the main strip.

Sweet filling, but balances with the bread and cheese. They will see me at this place again.

So to access it you do have to park somewhere, then walk up if you're not already at the outlets shopping. Food: I ordered a beef empanada and two Arepas. The empanadas are very small. And the beef portion inside was very nominal. I mostly tasted potato. The empanada was very crispy which I loved. The arepa was filled with chicharrón which was tender and incredibly well seasoned. The cornbread bun was the perfect. It was soft but had a bit of crispness. Overall I really enjoyed the food. The food by itself is worthy of a 5 star rating. However the wait time for the food in my opinion is too long for a food truck, especially with the limited menu. I work across the street and it took just about 6 minutes to reach this truck walking. My coworker and I ordered the same items right after each other but food took more than 20 minutes to receive. I got the empanada immediately but the two arepas took a lot of prep time for both of us. That's not really convenient when you have only a 30 minute lunch.

I can't remember the name of my meal, but it had steak with chimichurri, fried plantain, pico, avocado, beans, rice and an egg. My favorite part was definitely the steak! It was perfectly cooked and the chimichurri added the best brightness that the dish needed! There are so many spots in Vegas so I'm not sure I'd come back but I definitely enjoyed it.

Every food item on the Happy Hour menu is $12, which makes it a great way to try a variety of dishes without spending a fortune in Vegas. We ordered the shrimp tacos, CHICA nachos, Firecracker Wings, quesa-birria empanadas, potato flautas, shrimp ceviche, and ahi tuna bites. Everything was absolutely delicious, and there honestly wasn't a bad dish in the bunch. One thing to keep in mind is that these truly are small plates. Don't expect a lot of food with each $12 dish. They're perfect for ordering several different things and sharing, but if you're really hungry, you'll definitely want to order multiple plates. The Firecracker Wings had a really nice kick to them. We loved the spice, but if you have a lower spice tolerance, be careful with those! Also, a heads-up about the shrimp ceviche: CHICA's version is more tomato-based rather than the bright, lime-forward ceviche you might be expecting. It was still really good, but if you don't like tomato-based ceviche, that's definitely something to know before ordering. For drinks, we tried the CHICA-Rita, Palomita, and Tommy's Margarita. They were running a 2-for-1 drink special for $21 total, which was such a great deal, especially for Vegas. Between the absolutely delicious food, fun atmosphere, and Happy Hour pricing, we really enjoyed CHICA. It's a great spot if you like ordering a bunch of small plates for the table and getting to try a little bit of everything.

Decided to get the bowls which included, rice, protein and a side.. of course we got the Puerto Rican rice, roast pork and fried pork, and plantains. I wanted tostones, but unfortunately it was not available and then I found out the sad news after I asked if they didn't have plantains. I was told that the owner planned to close up shop on Sunday Sept 21. How sad! Decided to then order rellenos papa's and some.mofongo, as I would not get another chance unless I go daily the next 4 days. Everything was good as I remembered. I'm hoping the owner will be able to find another space. It's a cute little dining area. Lots of takeout orders and more diners came in for later lunch, I wonder if they know the place eas closing.

I always pop into this restaurant to eat when I'm in town, and I always seem to order the same thing... I ordered the pernil, which is roasted pork, arroz con gandules, potato salad, and trifongo. The roasted pork was so tender and delicious. I got some of the dark meat pieces, which are my favorite. The trifongo definitely wins the taste test. Trifongo is a Puerto. Rican dish made with green and sweet plantains and mashed together with pieces of fried pork and Chicharrón. My food was so delicious and yummy. I had to leave some of it on my plate, so I wouldn't go into a food coma. As always, the service there is on point and friendly. The host and server does not miss an opportunity to make sure to check up on you and provide water, or whatever beverage you're drinking. They're very sweet and run a pretty efficient shop. The cooks really I did themselves this time! The restaurant is always cleaned... The wait staff is always on top of cleaning the tables, and making sure everything is orderly. The bathroom is also clean. The restaurant has an open kitchen concept, so you can see the cooks in the back, preparing the dishes, including mashing up the plantains to make the trifongo. If you are in town, you must try this place. I recommend the roasted pork and the fried chicken. Of course, if you're looking for something on the smaller side, you can try the trifongo. Be patient though, if they are particularly busy, you may have to wait, and they may be out of some things. Over the years, I've learned to ask what they ran out of. Enjoy!

But, we were hoping they fixed that, but they didn't. The service was okay. They were busy and only seemed they had 2 servers. So it felt understaffed on a Saturday night. The food was fantastic. Great options and everything we had was very tasty. Highly recommend the Cuban. It was amazing and I love Cubans. Ceviche and the patacones were also great. The pricing is fantastic for the quality of food. So a few solid suggestions - get a mini split. We know a guy that can install for 1/4 of the price everyone else in town will charge. So hmu if you want that as an option. We have one in our side room that's 600sqft and it works amazing. It's so hot in your restaurant - it's hard to enjoy dinner when you're uncomfortably hot. Two, music. You only had it blaring in the kitchen. The ambience with the decor was beautiful, but you duke allow your clients to enjoy music with that. Allow for one more server on busy nights.
