I chose chicken, it was seasoned very well and had great flavor. The guy working behind the counter was super friendly and nice.

Regular margarita was okay. I ordered Burritos mexico which is supposed to have three different kinds of burrito. They were all the size of a cigar . First one had hardly any filling and couldn't quite tell what it was The second one had some kind of creamy filling, somewhat cheesy. Third one very finely ground beef without much seasoning. It was accompanied by a small amount of rice. The plate looked nice but, was only Luke warm. I asked for pico de gallo and got about a teaspoon full. I was really craving Mexican but this left me lacking. I doubt if I will return. We have quite of few excellent Mexican restaurants around here and this one doesn't quite measure up.

I also really like the brown drink they make, its sweet and slightly spicy. I can't remember the name of it, but you have to try it. They'll know what your talking about. Only downside to this place is having to walk through the mall to get to it, but they are right by Urban Air if that helps. They have seating available if you'd like to eat in too. You have to try them!

They actually had tamarind juice! We ordered a large ("Try it mixed with mango next time!" the owner told us in Spanish): The presentation for a Large was a quart-sized soup container filled to the brim, with an "X" cut into the lid for the straw. We sipped it while eating multiple breakfast snacks called "bolletas": A fist-sized lump of mashed potatoes molded around a tablespoon of spiced ground beef, then the outside of the potatoes is dipped in breadcrumbs and deep fried. Delicious, of course. Ambiance? The people watching was great! Lots of families, babies in strollers, people enjoying themselves and their cultural foods. I completely loved it, and highly recommend.

Drunks who go to a restaurant for the alcohol and order food not people who order food and then have a drink. Honestly give this place a chance and judge for yourself. A few bad apples should not take down a good quality restaurant like this because they had to wait for great food there are plenty of bars for the drunks to go in this area. So ignore the whiny drunks and find out for yourself what great restaurants like this have to offer.

Oh. My. Word! First, I'll start with the one, single…read moredisappointing thing... The day we visited, they did not have any baked goods (they said they only have them on the weekend), so we couldn't try the peras de coco (coconut rolls). But, perhaps it was kind of a blessing because our picada was plentiful. The dining area isn't huge, but they also do take out. There are about 5 or so tables to dine in. The service was a tad slow, but very friendly; I believe there was only one person waiting, cooking & serving AND the food was more than worth the wait! We ordered the picada for 4 and my brother tried a Colombiana cola. He liked it a lot; it was lighter than a "normal" cola, non-carbonated and less sweet than cola around here. I don't drink pop and even when I did, I always hated colas. I can't say I'd drink a whole Colombiana, but I didn't find it disgusting & that's saying something. Now on to the star of the show, the picada! It was loaded with several different meats, plantains fixed in different ways, yuca & baby potatoes and 4 sauces. We were so excited when it was set down on our table, we dug in before we even got our silverware haha. The platter had chicken, steak, chicharron, chorizo, blood sausage, sausage, sweet plantain, fried plantain, fried yuca and Colombian potatoes. The sauces were: avocado sauce, mayo/ketchup, pico de gallo & a garlicky one. Everything was so, so flavorful and cooked perfectly! There was not one thing that any of us didn't like. If I had to pick my top contender of a meat and a non-meat item, I would choose the chicharron & sweet plantain.... But I hope to never have to make that choice! The chicharron were thick and crunchy. The sweet plantain were perfection. When we left we were each given a dulce de leche caramel. They also have a variety of Colombian snacks and candies for sale. They recently opened an additional, larger location at 951 Niagara Falls Blvd (it used to be El Palenque). We were told they will be keeping both locations open, but the new location will have some additional items that they don't serve at the Oliver St location. I cannot wait to visit again!!!

A pint of some kind of soup and a container with a scoop of white rice. To put into perspective: they have a daily deal that is an entree, soup, salad, rice, beans and plantains for $22. The soup was just not good, I'm not sure what was in it but everything was fibrous and the soup was pretty bland. I guess in fairness the rice was good, but it's white rice...not worth even $1.

Eggs Benedict 3/10 Honestly not great, I didn't eat my whole meal because it just tasted worse with every bite, I would never order a Benedict here again. They did give you 3 eggs and 3 slices of ham over 2 English muffins. The eggs were overcooked, probably like a medium poach. I don't mind because I like mine that way, but it's not traditional. The hollandaise was thick and tastes bland and kinda gross, like it was made from powder, definitely 100% NOT homemade. Home fries were just also bland and not great.
