There was no host at the front when we arrived so we seated ourselves. After a few minutes, a waitress came over, took our order and kept things moving. Service wasn't overly warm but it was efficient and consistent. This is a casual straightfoward colombian spot nothing fancy.

We stayed at the bar while we waited for our table, and it just so happened the 4 seats became available, so we ended up sitting at the bar and ordered our drinks and food right there. First off, Victoria is awesome!! Such a fun and friendly bartender, she honestly made the night so much more fun. She was on point with the drinks, and even made us a special, Mexican candy shots, they were delicious! We ordered a variety of food items, and each was as good as the next! We had the carb nacho, and they were delicious. They use real crab! I had the rice with rotisserie chicken, it was flavorful and so tender! Definitely would be getting that again if we go back. The restaurant is very big, and ample seating. Great atmosphere and friendly staff! If you like Mexican, this is a fantastic restaurant, and the portion sizes are very generous!

The restaurant was empty when we arrived. Since it was our first time, we needed a moment to look over the menu, as we stood in line, we were asked 3 times if we knew what we wanted. Of course, I didn't, but then started to feel rushed and had to just pick something. (The staff here seemed annoyed to be working.) We both ordered and then sat, waited about 10 min before the food was ready. The food came out, and everything looked ok. The steak and shrimp option I had was good, steak was seasoned well, and looked how I liked it. The boneless chicken Jason has was so bland, and dried out he didn't even finish it. The chicken was very thin, which I felt was the reason it was dry, unfortunately he hated everything lol. I thought it was ok, however, I can only give 3 stars because I didn't feel welcomed, staff were not friendly. Restaurant was clean from what I saw, the drinks stations were out of service for the night, so I assume fountain drinks were not being served, only bottle and can options.

I ordered the steak lomo saltado, which comes with two sides--I chose white rice and French fries. Unfortunately, when I got home, I realized the fries were missing and had been replaced with corn without any notice or explanation. On top of that, for the price of the meal, I expected a more generous portion of steak. The serving was so small that it was barely enough for my child, let alone enough to share. Overall, between the missing item and the skimpy portion, it just wasn't worth it. I won't be returning.

Unfortunately, the beef in the picada was extremely chewy so we couldn't eat it (my dogs enjoyed it at home). La punta gorda had zero flavor. Las papas criollas were dripping oil when bit. I am only giving a 3 star because of the service. The waiters were nice and attentive, and the host was super sweet to my girls. I think this place is good for breakfast. I've heard they have the best coffee, just not for lunch.

Me giving this place a 2-star review is honestly me being nice. The service was horrible…read more We walked in and the restaurant was nearly empty. We were told to sit anywhere, which was fine, but then we ordered 2 waters and a passion fruit margarita and waited almost 30 minutes just to get them. On top of that, the drink order was wrong. She served us what tasted like salty mango juice -- and I say "juice" because there was absolutely no alcohol in it. Then we ordered a simple meal: a few chicken tacos, pork tacos, and an order of chicharrón. Somehow that still took 30-45 minutes, and the order was missing items when it finally arrived. That's crazy for an order of 4 chicken tacos and 4 pork tacos. The tacos honestly weren't even that good either. The only thing that was actually good was the chicharrón. People always say "good food takes time," and sure, that's understandable when a restaurant is busy. But this place wasn't even halfway full. There were plenty of open tables inside and outside, so the wait made no sense -- especially considering the food wasn't worth it.

In the center of the busy Shoppes at Walmart exists this Colombian restaurant called El Buen Gusto…read morewhich translates into English as "Good Taste" and that persuaded me to give them a try. The restaurant was teeming with an abundance of patrons. Strangely, the Colombian cafe serves Cuban coffee, while there are a vast selection of Colombian medium roasts to offer. Will never turn down a simplistic Cuban coffee, so I ordered my second espresso of the morning. As my espresso was brewing, I noticed over my shoulder an entire loaf of artisan bread being gently transported to an awaiting customer table, which created a smile on my face. The employee advised that the loaves hover around the $11.00 price range. Ordered a Pan de Bono to complement my espresso. Although the size was decent, the bread was unusually dry and tasteless. Based on the breakfast and lunch specials, its obvious why its so busy. The bathroom was clean with a modern pedestal sink and cute simple decor.

I had a great time the first time, and yep it's still that girl. Let's talk about the vibe real quick. The ambiance is everything. Modern, and just really well put together. From the furniture textures to the contrast in colors it all feels super intentional but still chill. Like, they knew what they were doing when they designed this place. 10/10 on the setting alone. Let's get down to the items shall we? What We Had Drinks ____________________ + Naori Signature Drink ($15) : 8.4/10 This one's made with Pisco Berries and Triple Sec. It's a layered, fruity cocktail that's a little more complex. Personally, I prefer the Pisco Sour it's cleaner and more balanced for my taste. But if you like citrusy and berry-forward drinks, you might love this one. Again, these are my reviews based on my taste buds. You might feel differently and that's ok honey. + Espresso Martini ($16) : 9/10 Strong, chocolatey, and gets the job done. + Lychee Martini ($16) : 8.6/10 Clean and balanced. Not too sweet, just smooth and refreshing + Pisco Sour ($16) : 10/10 My fave. Fruity, with this nice cold foam on top. Pretty sure there were peach or passionfruit notes in there. So good. * Shots - We also did a round (Don Julio, I think), and it kept the vibe going. Appetizers/Entrees __________________ +Nikkei Tiradito ($19) : 10/10 Thin tuna slices with a shouyu sauce that had a little citrusy kick. I could've had another plate just for myself. +Grilled Octopus ($20) : 8.4/10 This was good! Cooked well, had a nice char. Not my favorite thing on the table, but still strong comes with Peruvian corn and potato. +Arroz Chaufa Special ($24) : 10/10 Babyyy this dish was everything. Wok-fried rice, perfectly seasoned. That filet was so tender, and the shrimp just brought it all together. Easy standing ovation for me. * Dessert - I honestly can't remember what we ordered for dessert, but it was decent. Nothing crazy. I'd give it a 7/10. Overall Experience: 10/10 Customer Service: 10/10 Would I Be Back? Without a doubt. I even told my mom about this place and I think she went a couple months ago! This establishment has been Tamied™.
