It was quite good. The special included today's soup -- a bowl of cilantro soup. It reminded me of dal or pea soup. It was tasty. A chicken breast with mushrooms in a mustard sauce along side fluffy white rice, sweet plantains, and an interesting potato salad (with veggies and chicken). My husband got their avocado salad. It was a huge plate with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slivers, and wedges of fresh avocado. On the side was a passion fruit dressing and another one with cilantro. Service was good. Our food came out fast from the kitchen. And yes, we would rerun .

I was all excited for it and then had to rethink my order after everyone had already ordered. Music was loud! But after more ppl came in it was blaring as bad. At 6:45pm only 1 table was taken, by the time we left close to 8, the place was almost full. Food was delicious. Only thing that was tasteless was the arepa, everyone said it tasted like cardboard. Digital menus were nice, but too many buttons/tabs/categories to click on to see the menu. At the end they brought desserts on a tray around. You ring a bell whenever you need service. Would def come back.

I wasn't wrong. First of all, the menu comes with color photos, that's extremely helpful. The food is flavorful and addictive. From the chicharron, empanadas, soup, tostones, grilled steak and chicken to the ethnic drinks, it reminded me of the good times I've had during the 80s when I would go to Columbia for secret missions and hang out with their babes.

I actually called first and the person on the phone was very pleasant and told me what was made fresh and what ingredients were in what I wanted to order. I'm into fresh and authentic. The vibes were great and the prices were not bad. I found some of the flavors were not really my taste but I will be back and try other food to see if they are at least consistent.

They had ONE working machine to take payments, and decided that after the final whistle of the game that every table should just line up to pay. They have cards on file from the time we paid for our initial deposit and still refused to let us leave. I shouldn't have to beg for 90 minutes to pay my tab. Again the food is great. The wait staff amazing, they were doing the absolute best they could with the resources they had. But the manager and owner of the restaurant need to be replaced. They had zero organizational skills and zero communication. Would never go back or recommend just for that.

Highly recommend coming here to watch your favorite team play. The beef empanadas were cooked to perfection and overstuffed, we likely could've just split one. The Picanha dinner was cooked fresh and came with so many sides, we took them a large portion for leftovers. The aji picante really stood out, we asked for more to take home. The Arepa Llanera de Picanha was also perfectly cooked & enjoyed very much. They ran out of the standard avocado that comes in it, but instead brought a side of guacamole for me to add. I really like that they did that without me having to ask. We'll definitely be back soon, to watch another match!

On top of that, I ordered two cheese empanadas, and they arrived completely burnt, drenched in oil, and absolutely inedible. Not only is the food overpriced, but the quality is unacceptable. Sending food in this condition shows a complete lack of care and respect for your customers. The entire order went straight to the trash.

We had the beans, rice, sweet plantains, fries, and salad. It was all scrumptious and couldn't have asked for more for only $67. Nothing was dry and everything was flavorful. Our waitress was very patient and practiced our Spanish with us and we practiced English with her. She explained everything really well and kept us from over ordering. She was outstanding. The restaurant has a section with comfortable chairs and tables, but they also have two bars and a more casual seating section. The music was upbeat and fun without being too loud to talk over. They have nice little Colombian knickknacks for sale. We were too full to try desserts, but the ones behind the counter looked great! This place came highly recommended by our Colombian friend for authentic Cali food and now we recommend it to you.

Today I ordered Carne Asada and was just as delighted as my first visit. The entrée itself was very full. It came with grilled steak, rice, french fries and the salad. The steak was grilled to perfection and did not need any sauce however I did appreciate the sauce it came with. The rice was a salty delight. The salad was fresh and I love the tomato toppings. The service can be a little slow, but it's worth the short wait. The restaurant itself is quite big, it can fit both small and large families. There are booths and tables to choose from. Please check out this restaurant! 5/5.

This one seems to be a winner. They were quite busy when we were there. We looked over the menu. They don't list their daily lunch specials, but there's a small note on the menu to ask about it, so we did. We both chose it for our lunch. The day's lunch special included a delicious plantain soup. The broth was especially flavorful. The soup came first and then shortly afterwards came the entree. The plate had salad, cilantro rice, half a boiled potato, and a thigh/leg quarter chicken topped with a creole sauce. The chicken was quite tender. As the portion was so large, I wound up taking most of my soup home and half of my meal. We shared some very good flan with lots of caramel sauce and whipped cream for dessert. The guy at the neighboring table had a meat plate with blood sausage, chicarones, and churrasco. I'm not a sausage person, but the crispy pork and the steak looked delicious. The lunch special, btw, was very reasonably priced. I'm sure we will be back here again in the future.
