Homey, authentic Colombian spot in Hawthorne. Came here on a Tuesday evening for dinner and got seated immediately. Indoor dining only. Credit cards accepted. They spoke in Spanish but there also pictures on the menu for non-Spanish speakers. The atmosphere felt as though you were invited into someone’s home to eat.
We split a bandeja paisa which provided a little sampling of everything (blood sausage, asada, and chorizo) plus rice, beans, avocado, and plantains. The portion sizes are very generous and even with two people, we didn’t finish everything. It was nice to be able to enjoy a leisurely meal in a family-owned setting.
I came here looking for chocolate and ended up meeting an incredibly hospitable family running an authentic Colombian cafe. I sat down for brunch and was given samples first from Chef Carlos.
It felt like visiting family. I can not recommend this place enough. This is one of those special spots.
Edit: went back again for the Caldo De Costilla! Pic added
Really great service! Carlos took the time to explain what each dish was and what the drinks were. The food came out pretty quick considering we were a large group, and everything was hot and full of flavor! I had the lomo and tried a beef empanada. Will be coming back to try more!
The food is excellent. The owner was super friendly and made us fill welcome. "This is your house". Would highly recommend
Best colombian food I've had, looking for a spot to grub with your friends? This is it! It was awesome! Great food!
I forgot to take photos and I’ve been twice since Carlos (new owner) is there, the first time we went was in December 2021, my brother and I were craving some Colombian food, I gotta say EVERYTHING from the soup to the salad dressing (made on site and Carlos even shared his special recipe with me) was DELICIOUS, we went again last Tuesday and they had sopa de arroz which was great, I wish we had a Colombian delicatessen in San Diego county, keep up the good work Carlos!!
The food is authentic Colombian food. I love the arepa rellena con todo. Delicious. I highly recommend. Very affordable prices
