I had the Bandeja Paisa as it's my usual when I come to any Colombian restaurant We had the empanadas which were very soft but quite tasty. Can't wait to come by and try other dishes.

I've ordered the shredded pork and cheese on a few occasions and it always satisfies the cravings. They top it off with a tomato sauce and coleslaw (very delicious pairing), as well as an optional green salsa (spicy). The dish is hearty and comforting with all the South American flavours.

We were strolling around Kensington Market and we saw these nice empanadas being displayed on the…read morecurbside of this restaurant. I got a spicy beef one and it was just ok... The dough was a bit wimpy and not baked fully enough to be firm and crusty. The filling was good but not hot enough. Overall a place for a quick bite but nothing spectacular.

Came here to try some Columbian food. Had the following:…read more-Beef arepa - sandwich with buns made from cornmeal (soft and delicate) ground beef cooked with pickled veggies. Tasted much better after adding the flavorful sauce provided. -Patacon Pisao with chicken - think tostada made with a fried plantain as the base. Nice textures and flavors. I was disappointed because she no longer serves her ice cream sandwiches nor alfajores and she wasn't serving any insect dishes today. For dessert she is now selling ice pops by Angie. Grateful to have tried Columbian fast food, on to the next adventure!

Gotta respect her for doing that. I saw the sign, 'Get ur Coffee Here' and realizing that it was a Columbian kiosk and Columbians know a thing or two about coffee, I thought I'd give it a whirl and so glad I did. I was served a delicious Americano and sat down in front of the container watching life go by that balmy December afternoon as if it were Springtime. The 'crickets for a limited time' sign caught my eye too. This little haven of culinary delights never fails to impress. Wow, insects as a snack,? very cool. Sometime I'll go back to try some, mmmmmm.

The interior makes you feel you're somewhere other than Toronto even if the exterior is a bit weathered looking. Food was also good, empanadas to start were a nice way to ease into your meal, while the paella I had as a main course was large enough for leftovers. I think it would be better served with less small pieces of seafood substituted with a few large pieces. Also didn't get the normal crispy bottom on the paella but still enjoyed the taste of it.

At least they were when I went. So they didn't come from underneath a heat lamp! You hafta wait a bit. I ordered 2 carne and 1 pollo. However, I will admit that they tasted very similar. I couldn't tell the difference btw the flavours as most of the filling was potato. Please see photo. It was delicioso though! Corn exterior was really well done, nice and thin shell with a crunchy, slightly thicker crust. Seriously, where's my chimi sauce though??!!

Egg was a bit overdone & arepa was decent though somewhat crispy  Beans were decent. Plantain was so-so (not crispy or sweet). Pork tenderloin was pretty tasty but tough & dry especially for a tenderloin. Rice was decent, with a slight flavour, but a bit mushy. Plantain was crispy. The restaurant interior was decorated quite nicely but was very warm (in summer) & service was disorganised & some servers didn't speak English well so communication was sometimes difficult. I asked if the pork tenderloin had a sauce; they said no but it came with a tomato & peppers sauce. They also billed me wrongly.

Incredibly delicious food, authentically Colombian, big portions, and amazing value for money. The…read moreseafood dishes are filled with various different kinds of high-quality seafood to the brim (more protein than rice). All the staff are so friendly - from the waitstaff to the chefs / owners and kitchen staff, everyone in the restaurant seems to exhibit the Latin American hospitality and friendliness. The place feels homey, cozy, and festive with the music in the background (from the TV screen on the wall), and big photos depicting different places in Colombia along the wall. Ambience is very laid-back and casual, with amazing food that tastes homemade and authentic. It took a while for the food to cook and come out (about 40 minutes) - mostly because of the Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup) that took the longest to cook. It was also during a very busy time on a weekend. They seemed to have a constant flow of incoming catering and take-out orders (a good sign), and the restaurant itself was packed. All / most mains come with coconut rice, salad, and tostones (fried plantains). As for drinks, you can order freshly squeezed juices in either water or milk. We ordered the fresh strawberry & blackberry juice in water, as the one in milk would make it more like a smoothie. Each juice order comes in a jug (whether it be a small or large jug). This came as a surprise to us - really good value for such a large volume of juice ($6 for a whole "small" jug that turned out to be quite big, enough to refill each glass a few times for 2 people). The juice itself tasted fresh, natural, and refreshing. Dishes that we tried: 1) Filete de Tilapia con Camarones (grilled tilapia fish fillet & shrimps with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Big pieces of fish and lots of small shrimps, in a very delectable sauce. 2) Arroz Marinero (seafood rice with plantain & salad) - Loved this dish. The rice was a bit soupy which I liked. It was a bit like a soupy paella (including the rice) - very delicious and packed with various kinds of seafood. 3) Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Very creamy soup, like a chowder. I'm not a big fan of chowders / cream-based soups in general, but others liked it and said this was good. 4) SIDE: Ensalada (House Salad) 5) Arepa de Chocolo con Queso (sweet corn dough with cheese) All of the main dishes were EXCELLENT - loved the mixed seafood (fish fillet, shrimps, octopus, squid, etc.). There was so much seafood in every dish. In most places, you get more carbs / rice compared to the protein. Here, it was the opposite. The coconut rice was a bit dry but it's decent - good to soak up the sauces of the main dishes. The salad is just shredded cabbage and carrot with big sliced tomato. I was a big fan of the salad dressing (some creamy mayo-like dressing), but luckily the dressing was only at the top of the salad (the bottom part of the salad remained fresh and crunchy, which I liked). We ordered the Arepa de Chocolo con Queso for to go. It was different than the Venezuelan arepa that I'm used to. The Colombian arepa seemed to be sweeter and more buttery. It probably would've been better if it was eaten right after it was freshly made, and while it was still warm. There was a lot of cheese in the arepa, giving it a nice salty and savoury contrast to the sweet corn dough. After you're done the meal, you go up to the counter to pay (instead of having the bill brought to your table). Great food overall - I would not hesitate to come back.
