Nothing wrong with the food, have had better but it was good. Service was slow and the place was really loud. Came with friends and could not hold a conversation because with other tables filled it was so loud. Parking was hard to find, ended up parking four or five blocks away. For the price and experience, would not go back.

It's a family owned, small business which I love. I always want to suppprt those. Located in the basement with a bakery above it, the location is unique. It's very colorful and festive which adds to its charm. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa and it was enormous and cost $29. Pricey, but I got 3 meals out of it. It had pork belly, columbian sausage, rice, beans, a fried egg, avocado, and a fried plantain . Gigantic portions. We also ordered empanadas and they were the star of the show. I wish I lived closer to Elgin. I have no idea if I'd return, but I do recommend.

The staff was super helpful and very friendly. We asked for suggestions of what was really tasty Colombian food and their suggestions did not disappoint. Once we stocked up on baked goods, we also saw their section of empanadas and other treats so we got a few of those. Everything was great when we got it home and a lot of it was really tasty later on in the air fryer. The empanada was amazing as was the cariminola de queso and the patata rellena (I might be spelling that last one incorrectly? Amazing fried potato and meat ball). The staff was really really nice through the whole process and reminded us that they also have pizza. I can't wait to go back to try that next time.

For entrees - my husband and I shared the Milanesa a la Provenzana and the Arroz Chaufa De Mariscos. Both dishes were good - and handled a reheating the next day, but nothing outstanding.

The bandeja paisa was great too (I didn't order it but stole a few bites). All washed down with a pitcher of refajo - for those not familiar, this is a must-try mix of beer, the soda Colombiana, and a few shots of aguardiente, a sugar cane-based liquor that has an anise/licorice taste to it. Staff was nice and welcoming. I'd for sure come back here, but they said this location is closing soon. Luckily they have an Irving park location which is the original and I'll definitely go sometime soon.
