Was excited to know they open early for morning people like me who need their coffee and pastry. Counter help was super nice and took the time to explain, why some things aren't labeled. They had a nice set up for the World Cup with lots where everyone can have a view no matter your seat. It's located near Main Street and is easy to get to from transit. I'm excited to make this place part of my regular routine.

My family and I came here on a Wednesday minutes before they closed so I was very appreciative of…read morethe staff allowing us to dine in and being very attentive throughout our time there. This place is massive, with lots of tables to dine in, and a bakery section. We ordered the following: Mondongo (pequeño), bandeja paisa, lengua sudada, and res apanada. The food came out in about 20 minutes. The serving sizes were a little bigger than normal (I am not complaining), every plate looked delicious, and all the plates were hot and fresh. The mondongo was tasty and had a good amount of tripe and the right thickness of the broth. I chuckled when I saw the side of banana, but honestly, it made for a good desert. The bandeja paisa brings a litte bit of everything and it all was cooked well. The lengua sudada was very tender and flavorful and the yucca was soft, with the sauce it was in giving it a really good flavor. The res apanada was a bit tough and the breading did not stick on too well, but overall the flavor was good and the breading was crispy which I enjoyed. The best part of it all was the prices. It is very affordable and you will leave full.   The bakery is inexpensive and the items I have tried and good. They do have a large parking lot and it's free. While in the area, you could visit the Slater Mill (they have tours you could sign up for) or visit the public library. One thing to note is that the GPS might bring you to their old location a couple blocks up the street, so do a little bit of research for the address beforehand.

I noticed but tipped another 18% anyway because of good service but found this billing behavior unacceptable. (We were a group of three) Automatic gratuity is fine. Pairing it with a misleading tip prompt is not.

I love sorpresa most of the time! They serve Colombian style…read morefood. They always have a good selection of food and it is always usually fresh, I think there was only one time where it wasn't, it really depends on the time of day. They have the buffet style food display where you can pick your own plate. They do not speak english, but they are not stupid and are able to interpret with hand movements or google translate. They have $5 plates and $8 plates. They also have delicious empanadas for $2 and a small section of assorted colombian pastries. Definitely recommend coming here for a quick eat-in or to go plate!
