Pork tenderloin was pretty tasty but tough & dry especially for a tenderloin. Rice was decent, with a slight flavour, but a bit mushy. Plantain was crispy. The restaurant interior was decorated quite nicely but was very warm (in summer) & service was disorganised & some servers didn't speak English well so communication was sometimes difficult. I asked if the pork tenderloin had a sauce; they said no but it came with a tomato & peppers sauce. They also billed me wrongly.

Incredibly delicious food, authentically Colombian, big portions, and amazing value for money. The…read moreseafood dishes are filled with various different kinds of high-quality seafood to the brim (more protein than rice). All the staff are so friendly - from the waitstaff to the chefs / owners and kitchen staff, everyone in the restaurant seems to exhibit the Latin American hospitality and friendliness. The place feels homey, cozy, and festive with the music in the background (from the TV screen on the wall), and big photos depicting different places in Colombia along the wall. Ambience is very laid-back and casual, with amazing food that tastes homemade and authentic. It took a while for the food to cook and come out (about 40 minutes) - mostly because of the Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup) that took the longest to cook. It was also during a very busy time on a weekend. They seemed to have a constant flow of incoming catering and take-out orders (a good sign), and the restaurant itself was packed. All / most mains come with coconut rice, salad, and tostones (fried plantains). As for drinks, you can order freshly squeezed juices in either water or milk. We ordered the fresh strawberry & blackberry juice in water, as the one in milk would make it more like a smoothie. Each juice order comes in a jug (whether it be a small or large jug). This came as a surprise to us - really good value for such a large volume of juice ($6 for a whole "small" jug that turned out to be quite big, enough to refill each glass a few times for 2 people). The juice itself tasted fresh, natural, and refreshing. Dishes that we tried: 1) Filete de Tilapia con Camarones (grilled tilapia fish fillet & shrimps with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Big pieces of fish and lots of small shrimps, in a very delectable sauce. 2) Arroz Marinero (seafood rice with plantain & salad) - Loved this dish. The rice was a bit soupy which I liked. It was a bit like a soupy paella (including the rice) - very delicious and packed with various kinds of seafood. 3) Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Very creamy soup, like a chowder. I'm not a big fan of chowders / cream-based soups in general, but others liked it and said this was good. 4) SIDE: Ensalada (House Salad) 5) Arepa de Chocolo con Queso (sweet corn dough with cheese) All of the main dishes were EXCELLENT - loved the mixed seafood (fish fillet, shrimps, octopus, squid, etc.). There was so much seafood in every dish. In most places, you get more carbs / rice compared to the protein. Here, it was the opposite. The coconut rice was a bit dry but it's decent - good to soak up the sauces of the main dishes. The salad is just shredded cabbage and carrot with big sliced tomato. I was a big fan of the salad dressing (some creamy mayo-like dressing), but luckily the dressing was only at the top of the salad (the bottom part of the salad remained fresh and crunchy, which I liked). We ordered the Arepa de Chocolo con Queso for to go. It was different than the Venezuelan arepa that I'm used to. The Colombian arepa seemed to be sweeter and more buttery. It probably would've been better if it was eaten right after it was freshly made, and while it was still warm. There was a lot of cheese in the arepa, giving it a nice salty and savoury contrast to the sweet corn dough. After you're done the meal, you go up to the counter to pay (instead of having the bill brought to your table). Great food overall - I would not hesitate to come back.

Arroz con mariscos (rice with seafood) was decent. It had shrimp, one mussel, squid & octopus. It was quite a big portion. It was topped with fried plantain, which didn't taste of much, but at least that provided some variety of texture. Sancocho de cola (Oxtail soup) was rather oily but tasty. Ceviche de camaron (shrimp ceviche) was VERY wet (there was so much liquid it looked like a soup). The shrimp was fresh & there was a lot of it. It was tasty, with a slight herbal edge to the leche de tigre. The dishes were served with a sour & spicy sauce which was good. The accompanying plantain chips were ok - they were barely crispy. But they were free anyway. The accompanying side salad was good, with fresh vegetables, half an avocado and a refreshing vinaigrette dressing.

I didn't know how this pig was stuffed, but I was curious. When I returned for lunch, they had said stuffed pig on their hot table for display. It was not an entire pig, but it was fairly large. It resembled a loosely sewn pillowcase made of golden-brown pig skin, stuffed with pork and rice. I knew I had to try it. It was $8 for a portion that went into a small, square takeout box. For $8, I was expecting more, but it was also quite filling. The lady at the counter filled the box with rice and pork from inside this makeshift pillowcase of a monstrosity, then cracked a fairly generous amount of the pork skin to put on top of the rice. This was served with a tangy, slightly spicy, green hot sauce. It was very tasty. The rice soaked in all that pork flavor from the pork skin and the pork inside it. The pig skin was crispy. It made for a very hearty meal.

Food- The food selection is definitely authentic. For appetizers I recommend getting empanadas. Unfortunately they were unavailable while I was there, but would definitely give it a try the next time I'm there. For entrees, I highly recommend Pupusas (chicaron and queso)...yummmm. It is very filling, don't be fooled by the size. Lastly, for desert I ordered plantain & cream desert. Delightful. For drinks, they have a wide range of margaritas and drinks. If you want to go authentic, get the horchata. Service- Great :) very friendly, helpful and descriptive when asked about menu items. Parking- Plenty out front.

Amazing Colombian food in big portions, quick and friendly service, and nice casual atmosphere…read more Although technically an appetizer, the Patacon Relleno Vegetariano (stuffed green plantain with black beans, salad, avocado slices) could stand as a meal on its own - very hearty and filling. The texture of the crunchy green plantain slices went really well with the soft avocado, salad, and beans mixture inside, with a delicious sauce. The Ensalada (salad) came in a very large portion and consisted of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, and avocado. Sancocho de Pescado (traditional & hearty Colombian soup made of fish, root vegetables, and tubers - including cassava / yuca, potatoes, plantains, corn on the cob; seasoned with cumin and cilantro) had a very flavourful soup broth that tasted like comfort food. It was served with rice, toasted arepa, and avocado. It had a good amount of meaty fish and various types of root vegetables that had been cooked really well (so they were all soft) and absorbed the rich flavour from the soup broth. Arroz con Camarones (seasoned rice with shrimps, vegetables, salad, green plantains) was my favourite - very flavourful rice with lots of big, tender shrimps.

Service was very good - fast, friendly, efficient. We were seated and presented with menus right away. Food was ready within ~5-10 minutes - freshly cooked. The food was delicious, with the disappointment being the fish fillet (I found it too breaded). 1) Arroz Con Mariscos (rice mixed with seafood), served with plantains - Very generous portion of rice. The dish was flavourful with a few pieces of large shrimps and 2 mussels. The rest of the seafood (scallops, squid, small shrimps, octopus) were finely chopped / diced and mixed in with the rice, peas, carrots, and bell pepper. It was served with 2 long pieces of sweet plantains (good combination with the savoury rice & seafood). 2) Filete de Pescado (fish fillet), served with rice, salad, and tostones (fried green plantains) - This was a bit of a disappointment as the fish filet was more akin to the fish in pubs serving fish & chips (very breaded). The fish inside was nice and soft though. The tostones (fried green plantains) were the best thing in this dish. It came with plain white rice, and a bit of salad (lettuce and red onion). 3) Ensalada de Aguacate y Vegetales (avocado & vegetables salad) - As a side, this was one of my favourite items at this restaurant. I loved the mix of fresh lettuce, sliced bell pepper, and red onion. I also liked the dressing - very light and in small / moderate amount, just enough to dress up the salad. Good value for money overall - big / decent portions, satisfying and hearty meal, pretty delicious food, good service.

It was in between a group of Indian and Pakistani restaurants, so I became curious and searched it on Google. The reviews were very good and the food looked delicious. When my friend showed up, I suggested that we go to this place for lunch and she agreed. We were not very familiar with Salvadoran cuisine, so we came in with open hearts and open bellies. A young friendly lady greeted us and she told us that we can sit anywhere we liked. It was a chilly day, so we picked a seat in the middle corner of the restaurant. The place had a cozy vibe, as if you have entered into someone's home for lunch. From the speakers, an upbeat music in Spanish was playing and the entire place was decorated with colourful maps and photos of dishes. We decided to order two cheese and bean pupusas (Pupusa de queso con frijol) and an item to share, Birria Tacos (Tacos de Birria, comes in 4). The pupusa was yummy- it was soft yet lightly chewy and the fillings were sufficient. Before the Birria Tacos came out, our waitress brought a large jar of salad (that we can scoop onto our plate) and a hot pepper sauce. The Birria Tacos were delicious- the tender beef was juicy, the toppings were fresh, and the cheese was gooey. There was a sauce (consommé) along with chopped onions, cilantro, lime wedges, and green salsa that we could add to the tacos for more flavour. Adding some cilantro, squeezing some lime juices, and dipping the taco into the consommé added so much flavour! Every bite was delicious! The portion size was generous as well, both of us were full after eating two. Relaxing vibe, delicious food, and friendly service, this place was a great find! If you are looking for a unique restaurant to go to in Etobicoke, try this place!

We arrived around lunchtime on a recent Saturday and the place was probably about half full. We knew we wanted to sample a few different pupusas, so we wound up ordering three of them. We also decided to try out one of their mixed plates, which wound up including Meat, Shrimp, Beans, Eggs, Rice, Salad, and Avocado. The food arrived a short time later and everything was absolutely incredible. The pupusas were definitely the highlight, as they were so fresh and filled with delicious components. I especially enjoyed how cheesy they were; I could imagine getting a whole plate of these things during a night out and just demolishing it. So good. The mixed plate was also quite tasty, with the meat and shrimp boasting an irresistible char from the grill. The shrimp was especially good, and I don't think I've ever eaten shrimp cooked quite that way. But the main attraction are those pupusas. I need to eat those things daily.
