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.

We asked for a bucket of beer and we only received six cold beer with no bucket.

We also asked for the check 10 minutes before the game ended, and we just saw the waitress walking back and forth into the kitchen and out of it. Finally, she took a glance over our table and remembered we asked for it. Waitress at this restaurant should be better trained and have a better synchronized system with the tvs. Not recommended if you're going to see a sports game.

If you've never had Colombian food, you're missing out. And if you've had it, it was probably at a busy queens spot. This place is small, relatively empty...and it's probably because no one knows about it...till now. The service is great. They'll read you the authentic Colombian specials and even show you pictures on the waiters phone. The Colombian hotdog is the flavorful way to go if you want a quick meal. If you're looking for a hearty meal, the Bandeja Paisa has various well seasoned meats and sweet plantains to balance out the flavors. Have yourself a Colombiana strawberry soda while you're there. So, if you want an authentic Colombian meal, without that Big crowded Queens spots, hit this gem and have a meal in peace.
