I was here twice in my life, once about a decade ago, and again this week. The food, well you better get ready to eat, because the plates are absolutely massive! Pricing is fair but it's worth it. Our server was really helpful I had the Bandeja típica, which consisted of bistek, pork belly, rice, beans, plantain, and arepa. Everything was delicious! I ordered myself a lulo, sorry if the spelling is wrong, for a drink, it was really tasty and filling. I definitely recommend coming here if your in NYC, and want some local cuisine straight from the barrio!

This is a happy spot, don’t expect anything fancy, you come in for Spanish food and good drinks. Service here a hit or miss. Sometimes the server forgets that they have a table 😂 but then they see you and run to you. It has happen to me more than twice. It wasn’t busy. But the guy was friendly and don’t forget anything on the order. Food is ok for what you pay, big portions. Only thin with the food was that the beans sauce was too watery and the salad look like it wilted a few days ago. Other than that the rest of the food was on par. Alcohol drinks here are good, same with the natural juices they sell. I’ll come back again hoping the server don’t forget his clients 😂

Usually always good food here. There are a few locations and all of them cook about the same quality of food. The food came out crazy fast and the service was on point. 44 dolls for 2 people is pretty cheap considering NYC prices. Update...Fri August 28. I'm not taking away any stars but we ordered similar food items as last time and both came out way over cooked and almost black in color. I should of returned it but I ate most of it anyway because I thought it would be ok but it wasn't. Next time please if the food is that burnt don't serve it to the customer because it ruined the good first time I had.

It's a nice place to have a casual dinner in a typical Colombian restaurant. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. The only problem here is the service is not on point. You always have to call the waitress for things they should already be doing. Other than that great value for the price.
