    The food here was AMAZING! I am not Colombian nor am I the best judge for their food but I ate…read moreeverything off my plate. I had the Arroz con pollo which is shredded chicken with rice, I had fries and a salad on the side! To drink I had a fresh guanabana juice Which was also delicious. The service was great. The lady helped us and explained everything to us, she was waiting on a lot of tables but she was quick and efficient! The ambiance was cool, a lot Of televisions in the restaurant playing soccer games, cartoons and the news! Definitely can't wait to go back again!!

    We just finished eating a Philly Cheesesteak next door, but I couldn't resist coming here to try…read moresome Colombian arepas! I must have had a brain fart or something because right after I walked in, the worker greeted us and immediately told us they had empanadas. He said they had chicken, beef, and cheese empanadas. I immediately ordered three chicken and three beef. I forgot about the arepas. The guy said it would be ten minutes. So we browsed their store. As soon as you walk in to the business, the small place looked like it is set up to ship packages. It has a small grocery store in the back, and has a kitchen on the side. The whole store was small, but clean. There was no seating in this place as it is not a sit down restaurant. Food orders are placed to go. Almost ten minutes exactly our empanadas came out. We took them to our car and ate there. We wanted to eat them fresh and hot and boy were they steaming hot. I loved the crispness of the shells. The filling was very flavorful and moist. I dipped them in the salsa and they had had a nice kick. They were delicious!We were able to polish off four. After we arrived home some thirty minutes later, the empanadas were still warm and surprisingly still crispy! I ate the last two. I will definitely return to try their arepas!

    Wow!!!!! What a find. Probably the best restaurant I've found in the Phoenix metro area. Although…read moreI've been to South America, I only thought about great steaks. But this restaurant has a full range of menu items and a complete bar. Not to mention live music while we were there. With some guidance from our server Terri, We ordered caipirinha's, a beef empanada, pork empanada, and shared the arepa. Wow. The flavors, the crunch, the depth. Wow. And for dessert, the gelato empanadas. We will not only be back, we are bringing friends

    There's a patio area with misters, but definitely make a reservation beforehand as it can get busy…read moreand it's a smaller restaurant (can also request indoor seating). They'll also validate parking at the garage. We came for dinner before a show at the Mortgage Matchup Arena (which is just a quick 0.5 mile walk over). Happened to hit happy hour, which was just a few dollar savings, but nice. We tried the following: -Empanada Pabellon with Pernil: loved the plantains inside mixed the pork! -Empanada Colombiana Beef: good -Pollo and mango tostones: the tostones itself were a bit tough to chew on -Ceviche mixto: I've never had fried calamari with ceviche but it was nice and refreshing mixed with it! -Piña Tiradito: presentation was lovely and tasted just as great! I can never taste the fruit or make out the flavors for ciders and I'm a sucker for anything guava so was excited for the Sazon guava hibiscus cider, and while it was nice, sadly couldn't make out the flavors. Overall, cute space with bites to share and we'll be back as the burritos sounded good as well.
