I had an excellent experience with some dishes, but the food was inconsistent overall. I ordered the churrasco and the Cuban sandwich, which I enjoyed. However, the bandeja paisa I had over the weekend was disappointing. The chicharrón was mainly just greasy, without much meat, and had an odd color. The steak was so chewy that I felt like I had to stop chewing frequently, which made me worry about choking. The salchipapa, which came with six sausages and a pile of fries, wasn’t worth it either. Additionally, they automatically added a 15% tip to the bill and a 3% credit card surcharge, which felt like I was essentially covering the waitress's salary for food that wasn't up to par.

Finally, a place we can say yum! The food was good, and that was straight from a Colombian. Beans needed some more seasoning, and they weren't true Colombian beans, more PR ones. The aji is fantastic the best by far. Sancocho was finished on a Saturday afternoon?? Shame on you! I would go absolutely go back.. Definitely need to rethink seating area.

Love, love love this wonderful New Colombian restaurant we found by chance! The food was amazingly good and fresh. My favorite is the salmon and shrimps with the white sauce. Omg! The fresh juices are so refreshing. The staff is wonderful. So helpful, patient and knowledgeable. Explained the dishes to us. The restaurant itself is cozy, clean and great music!!! It's our new favorite place to go and spend time at. Thank you to the staff for being the sweetest and beautiful
