“This place is phenomenal. The food is truly outstanding. My son ordered the lomo saltado, and he’s eaten at most Peruvian restaurants—he said this was hands down the best he’s ever had. I ordered the Picada la Colonia, and it was absolutely amazing—perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The happy hour drinks were fantastic, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. This is an absolute must-try and a place we will 100% be coming back to.”
“"Empecé mi lunes con muy mala atención. El camarerito parecía que no había dormido o algo; ni siquiera saludó. Se demoró un montón en atendernos porque estaba más en la computadora. Para rematar, el batido de mango que pedí nunca llegó. La comida estuvo bien, pero con ese servicio y lo del pedido incompleto, la verdad no lo recomiendo." No quería calificar pero los mire en Facebook preparando un mal cafe. Por eso está vacío”
“The food was delicious, and the live music was fantastic!”
“Pedí unos bolones de verde... muy buenos, se los recomiendo 👌🏻”
