So good that we are there once a week, often pick up on the way home from long day. sweet plantations are hit or miss, when they are smaller pieces, great, when they are large half sizes pieces not as flavorful. Only questionable thing we have ever had. Try this place, whether its the steak, chicken you can't go wrong. Rice and beans, even the soup are made with care.

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.

We dined in and their establishment is kept clean and it's well decorated. If a place serves horchata you know I have to try it and they pass the horchata test (not too sweet, hint of cinnamon, and no chalky aftertaste). They bring out chips and salsa to start. The salsa had a slight kick to it but nothing unbearable for my tastebuds. I had their chicken tacos minus the Pico. They still put the Pico. But besides that the chicken was well seasoned and nice and juicy. They really fill their tacos. I got double the rice instead of pinto beans. We also tried their beef Empanadas which were delicious but they will definitely fill you up. The bowl holds a lot of food and the flavors were good. The chicken by itself wasn't my favorite, they may have overcooked it but since everything else was good Ill give it a pass. Overall a good place to stop and get a bite to eat.

Service was good - and they have live music on Friday nights. For drinks, we had white wine and passion fruit pisco sours. We've had better pisco's however.

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.

We struggled with the strong bleach smell trying to eat our meal. We also ran out of beverages, and we were 1 of 2 tables in there. The chips looked and tasted like they were out of a bag, which is disappointing because it's not hard to make fresh chips. They had 4 different salsas which were tasty which was good because their food had little flavor. The rice and beans didn't even have any seasoning on them. The steak tacos didn't have much flavor either, so it was good that we had our choice of the salsas to use. The steak was without fat or gristle so that was a plus. My husband ordered a burrito that he said was bland and dry. It was good that they had to salsas but the food lacked seasoning or the flavor I expected from a restaurant with flavor in the name. I am willing to give them another try and order something different, but my husband isn't so willing.

I've eaten here twice in one week and I know this will become a regular spot. I had their grilled chicken breast, beans and salad. Under $10 and for me easily two hearty meals. My waitress made sure to answer my questions and it was sweet how excited she was to know I'm new to her family's cuisine. I looked over to a table of four and wow...they had some amazing looking steak and ribs plates that I may try in the future. My experience both times now is exactly what I'm looking for. Great food and a homey atmosphere to enjoy it in. I wasn't rushed and will return again.
