Parking was surprisingly easy, which is always a plus, and the staff were warm and helpful in walking through the menu. It is the kind of environment where you can relax, settle in, and let the food be the star. And the food really does shine. The meat platter was loaded with juicy, well-seasoned cuts that made it a challenge to finish in one sitting, though I happily tried. Empanadas were crisp and flavorful, and the sides tied everything together nicely. Portions are generous across the board, so you definitely leave feeling satisfied. This is a place to come hungry and curious, because every dish feels like a little celebration of Colombian flavors.

Terrible experience, on google maps it says they close at 9 pm, I arrive at the restaurant at 8:28…read morepm and the door is closed. I called the restaurant and a person tells me that they close at 8:30 pm but that they really close at 8 pm because they have to clean to leave at 8:30 pm exactly. What a bad service!!

Party of 4 on a Wednesday night. Very nice decor (grade A), but the music was too loud -- hard for…read moreus to talk to each other. Server Ethan was eager and very good, if a bit inexperienced. For appetizers we ordered meatballs (4) which were tasty and the smoked guacamole was really very good. Mains were good -- beef rib was excellent, hanger steak was very good, beef medallions were very good. Sides -- not so much. All were flavorful, but over-cooked. Maybe this is Latin American style, but not what is common for American restaurants. As a person who has eaten in great restaurants in big cities as well as a lot of good restaurants in cities all over the country, overall, I'd give this restaurant 3 1/2 stars. It was a Wednesday night, so I'll visit once more on a Friday or Saturday to see if they pop up a notch.

Great experience. Sat at the bar and had a couple of beautiful cocktails. The bartenders took…read moregreat care of us. We had the Peru Ian chicken which was as good as any I've ever had! Jen had the hanger steak. Bourbon pepper sauce does not denote any Chili's. This was whole peppercorn. It's all she could taste for hours after leaving. Great experience overall but stay away from the hanger steak sauce.

We saw this place while visiting Wicked Weed across the street. After seeing the amazing Yelp…read morereviews we decided to return a few days later and try it out. I ordered the Pork Arepa and Yuka Fries. The food was delicious - fresh, very flavorful and well balanced. The staff was friendly and did not act annoyed at us for bringing kids along. They even came out and offered us a high chair. Even though the restaurant is small, they had ample outdoor seating as well. We enjoyed our lunch immensely! When we return to the area, we'll have to come back and try more from the menu.

Wow! A flavor explosion meets gluten free. We had ropa viejo and jibara arepas. The arepas were so…read morelight and fluffy and tender. We added escabeche (perfect blend of flavors!) and tostones (with delicious sauce). We needed dairy free as well, so sadly no queso for us, but please enjoy it if you aren't dairy free. We got our order to go, and it was packaged well and stayed hot until we got back to our hotel room, even though it was quite cold outside. This is a tiny place with maybe 8-12 barstools. It is squeaky clean and decorated so nicely. The owner has a great sense of humor as evidenced by his posted hours by the door. Everything is gluten free. I wish this was in my hometown. I would eat there several times a week. I will certainly return when I am in Asheville again, and am even considering placing an order on my last day here to take home for dinner. One thing to note: street parking only as the lot next to the building belongs to another establishment, and they don't play with you parking in their spots.
