Esta muy buena la comida. Sazón sudamericana, recomendada de manera especial para quienes prefieren comer sin picante. Hay para todos los gustos. El chicharon estuvo muy rico. Felicidades y sigan adelante.

Delicious Colombian empanadas! Easily some of the best in the neighborhood—and also the most affordable. Great flavor and great value!

Today was my second visit and honestly I wasn't very hungry so I didn't eat a complete lunch but I picked what I was craving instead. I love ❤️ their potato 🥔 balls filled with meat 🍖 inside and their empanadas so I snacked on those and had a jarritos lime soda. The server/cook brought everything to my table and placed an extremely tasty and spicy green sauce to the side for dipping. I highly recommend this tiny but cozy non pretentious Colombian restaurant if you love homemade and authentic Mexican and Colombian dishes. Service was excellent and I will definitely return here again. By the way the men at the table next to me were really enjoying their homemade chicken 🐔 soup 🍲 so I suggest you try their soup 🍲 if you have an appetite. It definitely looked and smelled wonderful.
