The flavors are deep and rich and give you a real sense of what good Colombian food should taste like. The plates are affordable and filling as well. Greta combination for my wallet! The ladies who work there are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about each dish so feel free to ask questions. It's a small place that fills up easily, but once you're seated you will be comfortable and don't have to worry about getting rushed out. At this kind of restaurant, they will almost always ask if you want a tinto or small coffee after your meal, which is thought to help settle the belly. Go for it if that's your thing! I can't recommend this place enough!

We came on a Sunday night around 6pm and the place was crowded, but we got a seat right away and service was very quick. The food was superb. My girlfriend and I shared the Bandeja Mario which was something of a sampler platter and had a little bit of everything on it. Our friends had the Entraña and their son had the Pechuga de Pollo Apanada and all were incredibly filling and incredibly delicious. We washed it all down with a pitcher of sangria. Incredible food, great and fast service, wonderful atmosphere. Absolutely would come again the next time we're in town.

Went to this Columbian restaurant under the 7 train. They were fairly busy for a weekday lunch and…read morethey offered daily special for soup. I ordered the chicken potato one which was pretty tasty and ordered it as a combo which came with rice avocado and salad. The soup was tasty but compared to other Columbian restaurants- it was standard. However the portion was smaller than other places I've had and usually when I order it as a combo it comes with additional protein. My friend ordered a meat combo platter and it was the same comparison- portion size was smaller. I probably will not go here again cuz I know there are better quality And value Columbian restaurants in the area.

The staff is very friendly and gives a decent rundown of the menu and what's popular. Got my sandwich in about five maybe seven minutes. The chicken was nicely cooked however the sauce was a bit lacking. I think if they tweak the sauce or have a variety of sauces, this place would explode with orders. Overall I wouldn't say come here RIGHT NOW - but I'll get back to you all as I try more of the menu. Next time I'm ordering the empanadas and the al pastor.

We were actually surprised it wasn't busier for a Saturday, but that worked out great for us since our party of four (2 adults and 2 kids) was seated right away. The menu was available on an iPad, which made browsing easy. I ordered the grilled chicken with rice, beans, and sweet plantains. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. My husband ordered the chicken with a white sauce and really enjoyed his meal as well. My older daughter loved her grilled steak so much that she had to take some home for later! My youngest kept it simple with chicken fingers, which she happily finished. They also offer fresh juices. The girls ordered mango and strawberry juices, and both were delicious. One thing we thought was really cool was that the TVs played the music videos for the songs that were playing throughout the restaurant, which added a fun atmosphere. Before leaving, we checked out the bakery section and picked up a Nutella croissant and a chocolate loaf. The girls absolutely loved both treats! The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our visit, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a great meal and will definitely be coming back.

They have large screen TVs for what I assume is to host sports watching.

Particularly loved the calentado and freshness of chorizo and all other items included in my desayuno Raices pictured here.
