Perfect place if you're craving Latin food that isn't Mexican. I was craving Mojo Marinated Chicken and tostones and found it here. They also have market attached that sells snacks from the Caribbean!!!!

The food was pretty good. It's s little confusing because you order on one side, in the store, then sit down and are stunned on the other side. Service was ok but this is not a full service place as it is a restaurant within a store.

The food was delicious! My wife wanted Colombian food, so this place came up on my search. We were pleasantly surprised. We ordered the Bandeja Paisa with an extra side of rice. The girls had chicken and rice. Finished so they must have loved it!.

I haven't been here in years (lived out of the country) and was happy to see it is still around with practically the same menu. The service was 100% friendly and nice. The atmosphere is not for fine dining but to enjoy good wholesome Central American food, listen to cumbia music and to enjoy one's self in the company of others with a smile. I had the stuffed yuca, potato and platano appetizers along with the coxinha. Delicious variety! I was too full to try other menu items so coming back for more!

We had their food at work today, and it was amazing! Lots of flavor and a great portion. I had the Lomo Saltado! 10/10 I recommended.

Food was amazing! Its a small market with a dining room set up next to it. You order and pay first, then food will be prepared. Everything was well prepared and tasted delicious. Service was very friendly.
