When you walk inside, it offers a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered one of their most popular dishes. The dish was full of flavor and the portion size was just right. Overall it was a great experience. I would highly recommend it if you're searching for different flavors from the norm.

The vegan plate had black beans, white rice, plantains, and a side salad. The bandeja paisa had beans, a fried egg, chicharron, steak, rice, plantain, and chorizo. The meat was perfectly grilled but the chicharron was a little tough but still good. The vegan plate had much flavor -- the beans were tasty and the rice fresh. They were very generous with the plantains. The complimentary tortilla chips and salsa were so fresh and delicious. The spinach empanada was a little tough - it was crispy but there was less spinach than I would have expected and the cheese in it wasn't really melted either. Overall the food was very fresh and delicious. Parking can be tricky bc their lot fits only 3 cars. We parked a couple blocks in the neighborhood. Front of the store parking also seems limited. Service was kind and efficient. Food came out in less than 5-10 minutes. Place is well decorated and has nice seemingly traditional decor inside.

I've been here a few times since I tag along with my Columbian friend for brunch here. This place is not for vegetarians. So, keep on driving or skip reading this if you are. The empanadas here are delicious. My favorite type of empanadas. Made with a crunchy, fried corn dough filled with meat. Served with encurtido, it's a Columbian salsa type but little spice. What I had recently here is sanchocho. This soup reminds me of a caldo de res but with oxtail, plantain, yucca. It also has potato and corn. Very hearty and comforting. It's served with a side of white rice on the side and arepa. If you every come here for breakfast, you'll be fed like a champion. Try the bandeja paiso.. Take your gout pills first. It's a meat fest. Serving of fried pork belly (crispy chitarrones), grilled steak (churrasco). It's served with rice, beans, egg, plantains, arepas, Comes with heart healthy avocado and a tomato for good health. You might have a hard time standing up after this meal. The service here is always good. Well especially because my friend is a regular.

To begin the service is horrible. Nobody I mean we had two different people come up to our table…read moreand neither of them greeted us. The woman (Sandra) who came up to our table was to ask us to move to a smaller table. Mind you we sat there so we could watch the World Cup game as we waited and ate. She was so rude about it!!! Then the waiter to finally came to take our order was also rude. Didn't greet us, they lack manners. I liked one of the empanadas but they have a different name, other than that their food was bland tasteless. I came here with a Colombian friend who wanted to try Colombian food in LA she liked her plate but it was the most simple thing you could order, steak rice and beans. Would never go back here ever... oh also the place was filthy they should keep their tables and floors clean come on.

Decent spot. My order was ready in about 20 minutes, and the customer service was fine. The food…read moreitself was okay, but for the slightly elevated prices, I expected a bit more. Portion sizes were on the smaller side, and the ingredients didn't feel particularly special. The seasoning was underwhelming, and I found the lack of spice options disappointing--it just didn't hit the mark for me. The burger I had was a bit of a letdown, with conflicting flavors. It was crunchy in some spots, soggy in others, and oddly sweet, which didn't quite come together. Still, I'm curious to try the empanadas next time and see if they redeem the experience

The French fries were amazing as well. The burger was fresh, I loved every single sauce. We will be back soon for sure. The place is clean and well maintained. Gorgeous place. I don't think you could walk out of this establishment without smiling; even after having the worst day. These lovely folks are the nicest, warmest people. They greeted me with the warmest smiles and they were happy to chat and answer questions about the menu. The restaurant is gorgeous, and I'm grateful to have been a part of this experience. Now we have a new favorite burger place! A very special thank you to the owners, it was a great afternoon.

We got the chicharron plate: thick cut fried pork belly, rice, beans, avocado, sweet plantain, arepa, sunny egg. The ceviche. Short rib with guava gravy. Colombian soda. Sixteen dollars for a full plate that hits every time. The vibe inside matches the food -- it's lively, it's warm, it's the kind of spot where everyone belongs. And with the World Cup coming, this is exactly where you want to be watching the games. Big screens, great food, and a crowd that actually cares. Only in LA does a spot like this exist.
