They get 2.5 stars…read more Bandeja paisa: steak was decent, crackling was so-so (pretty crispy but not that moist or flavourful). Sausage tasted decent but slightly dry. 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.

All the empanadas were gluten free and I was excited to try them. I ordered the beef / potato, pork and chicken empanadas because they were also dairy free. All of the empanadas tasted good and they weren't too greasy. I really enjoyed the green sauce served with them and smothered the sauce over each bite. I think my least favourite was the beef and potato because it didn't have enough protein inside. Allover they were all delicious! I rate them 4/5 stars. My husband ordered the chicken, spinach & cheese and the rice and beans empanadas. His favourite was the spinach and cheese. He really enjoyed them all and would give it 4.5 stars out of 5. Would we return? Absolutely!

They get 4.5 stars…read more Buñuelos (Colombian Cheese Fritters) was a large ball. It was decent: spongy & light. Mar Y Tierra (Grill Mix) was pretty tasty though the flavour was a bit one-dimensional. There were many types of seafood in it: mini & normal shrimp, squid, mussels & octopus. The chicken and steak were in chunks. Though I got it for takeout, the fries were still a bit crispy when I had them. The dish was a bit salty (I have high salt tolerance). In the Sugar Cane Lemonade, the lemon predominated. But they're supposed to have pure sugar cane right now. Tequeños (Venezuelan Cheese Sticks) were large & slightly crispy. They were better than the buñuelos. Besides cheese in the dough a little was stuffed inside too. They had a nice springy texture. Tres leches (3 milks cake) was very good: rich, moist & light.

Not a bad spot for dinner…read more I pass this place often on the way to work and I was taken in by the bright sign and the promise of good Colombian food, which I've never had. Note, this isn't the place to hit if you're in a rush or super duper hungry. Everything takes a while, from getting your drinks, to your food, to your bill. The Hubster ordered the Pechuga a la Cazuela con Arroz, Papas Fritas y Ensalada, which was chicken in a wine sauce with rice and fries. He really really enjoyed this. I ordered the Bandeja Colombiana which was a couple strips of steak, one strip of pork belly, a Colombian sausage, a fried egg on rice and plantains, avocado and salad. The meat was kind of overcooked. The steak was chewy and the pork belly was just hard. It was tough to eat. The flavour was there, though. The rice was great, as was the sausage.The beans were INCREDIBLE. The salad on both our meals was kind of wilty and the iceberg lettuce variety. All in all, it wasn't anything super special, but the portions were very good for the price. I'd be inclined to go back and check it out again.

I didn't know how this pig was stuffed, but I was curious. When I returned for lunch, they had said stuffed pig on their hot table for display. It was not an entire pig, but it was fairly large. It resembled a loosely sewn pillowcase made of golden-brown pig skin, stuffed with pork and rice. I knew I had to try it. It was $8 for a portion that went into a small, square takeout box. For $8, I was expecting more, but it was also quite filling. The lady at the counter filled the box with rice and pork from inside this makeshift pillowcase of a monstrosity, then cracked a fairly generous amount of the pork skin to put on top of the rice. This was served with a tangy, slightly spicy, green hot sauce. It was very tasty. The rice soaked in all that pork flavor from the pork skin and the pork inside it. The pig skin was crispy. It made for a very hearty meal.

We ordered the Reina Pepiada (chicken avocado salad) and the Pabellon (shredded flank steak, fried sweet plantain, avocado and white cheese) with a side of Yuca fries. I liked the Reina Pepiada more out of the two, as it was lighter and creamy without being overpowering. The Pabellon is definitely the heavier of the two, but holds its own with it's deeper savory meat flavors. Yuca fries was a little fibrous in parts, but generally delicious dipped in their house dip. There isn't any indoor dining space, so be prepared to eat in your car or enjoy one of the four picnic tables outside!
