Chicharron was great. - Arepa: looks like a tortilla, so not the typical thick arepas I'm used to. So felt like I paid $8 just for a tortilla and small block of cheese - Tostones con guacamole: I prefer my tostones to be crispier, but they had great taste. - Cazuela de Mariscos: Great flavor. I put it on top of rice and enjoyed it with the other food, otherwise too heavy/dense on it's own. I didn't enjoy the mussels (I love mussels). They were too gritty.

We tried a little of everything on the menu . The smoothies our a must . Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The service was kind. Overall warm and welcoming. (For a moment I could feel myself eating at my aunts house in Colombia , it was that warm and welcoming of an environment ). The name of the restaurant " Con Sabor a Colombia " is the most favorable name for this establishment. Which translates to ; Food with flavor of Colombia. Parking is difficult but manageable. The prices are a bargain for the quality, portion size , experience and freshness.

The Ceviche Mixto was so fresh with a generous amount of seafood. The shrimp, fish, squid and calamari were very tender and served with corn, lettuce and sweet potato.

I was looking…read morefor a spot for a quick bite, and I can happily say that I was satisfied with my food and experience at La Chiva! I scanned the large menu for an option to refuel and opted for the steak tacos, which were 3 for $12. They were stuffed with protein and topped with a tomato and onion salsa. I also couldn't resist trying a fried pastry or two with a wide variety of options they had available, so I ended up ordering a chicken pastel and beef yucca empanada. The staff here were really friendly and the service was very quick. Everything about this place was casual and efficient. This placed seemed like where all the locals went! In the heart of the busy area, La Chiva has plenty of nearby street parking along with a small personal lot. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. And it has food readily available and they are open until 3am. A big tip is that they are Cash Only.
