First time at a Colombian restaurant with a couple friends who like to explore a different foods…read more We tried empanadas, chorizo, and then got a large meat platter, which had steak, chicken, pork and chorizo along with french fries and baked ground potatoes, it was four people, and the three of us could not finish it, and would feed5. Overall, the food was OK, the presentation of the fish at another table looked very nice, but the style of food is not really seasoned and so it's a relatively non-gastronomic meal but you leave feeling full. Maybe I expected more because I like Mexican and Thai food, but went into it with an open mind. It was clear that a lot of local Latinas went there, and that is a good sign that it fits the cultural expectation. So if you are Latina and know what to expect it is a good restaurant to try

When I said "are you serious?" He said "if you have a problem with that cancel, it doesn't matter to me." I'm sure there were mobile orders I could not see, but on that particular night there were 13 people in the restaurant by my pickup. All said and done, food was great but they forgot their signature green sauce across the board, even though we had asked for it specifically (outside of what came with it). So about 65 minutes to get great food, with a manager who could care less.

We started with Dominican appetizers and fresh juices, then shared Ethiopian platters that were packed with flavor and perfect for the table.

The rice and beans that came with the quesadilla looked like they were from the day before. It wasn't my favorite Mexican spot.

Did I mention that the did was fresh?! Wow! Mmm! My boyfriend had the combination fajita. He made the same comment... sooo fresh! We almost didn't stay because when we entered the establishment, other than the one family that was already seated at a table, there was no one to be found. Just before I was going to walk out, a young man walked out from the kitchen and told us we could sit where we wanted to. He brought menus and asked us what we'd like to drink. After mentioning a few things that included unsweet iced tea and Pellegrino, we asked for the tea. He returned to say they were out. We then asked for the Pellegrino, but he immediately stated they didn't have any. We opted for the mineral water. We were brought a small tray with chips and salsa. Once again, very fresh and the salsa was amazing. I did have to ask for napkins. All in all, I'll definitely be visiting this restaurant again
