Worst experience ever I had in a restaurant for trying to exchange a plate of food that was overly salted. It all started when I decided to try a new dish as this was my second time here and wanted something different to try. As I decided to go with the Lomo Saltado, the first impression I had when they place the plate down had me second guessing if I made the right choice. It came with a small scoop of white rice, 2 Tostones, and the meat mixed with onions and peppers. The first thing I noticed the sauce was bright orange liked it had too much Salzon Goya seasoning, but I had to give it a try as I had ordered it. Before I got to the meat I gave my spouse 1 Tostone and ate the other one had a couple of bites of rice and then went for the meat the initial bite I extremely tasted a rushed of pure salt and was not able to take another bite. I even had my husband take a bite to see if I was exaggerating, but he agreed as well. I waited patiently to catch my server to come, but after waiting a while as she had a other tables to attend I decided to grab another waitress to let her know I couldn’t eat the food as it was overly salted and asked if she can exchange it for what i had prior. She took my plate and left to speak with the manger, but came back quickly with my plate and said the manger would not exchange it as she claimed I ate most of it which honestly I only had 2 spoons of rice and the tostones since I couldn’t take another bite of the overly salted meat. After going back and forth with the manger which was very sad because all customers should always be respected regardless what they thought. After all that unnecessary disagreement the manager decide to brush me off by not charging me for my plate and only my husband after she noticed I wasn’t backing off while all this could of been avoided if she would of just replaced the meal with something equivalent to the price as I originally asked to and made a customer happy to keep future services for the business, but with such a bad experience that was my 2nd and last time I give them any of my hard working money. I do have to say my server did her best to keep us satisfied because she was a sweetheart that I compensated her with a well deserved tip because she was pleasant. Hope they learn from their mistakes and go easy on the salt.

The empanadas are crispy and delicious! The avocados were perfectly soft and tasty. Our waiter was super nice. I'm half Colombian so this was a big treat for my husband & I.

Real fayetteville south American gem. Nothing like it.Pro:- authentic- affordable- lunch specials- diverse menu- locationCon:- some of the fried food was a bit overdone- the food was great, just like a minute or 2 overdone. If they pull everything off the grill/frier/pan sooner it would be perfectI will still keep coming back, it is such unique food for fayetteville, that I crave it once a month.

This place was awesome. Gave me a Colombian feel as I have been there quite a few times. Servers were attentive and drinks were poured nice. Would come back again. Definitely an authentic place.
Had this place for the first time last week and it’s was Ok. The place was nice and spacious with music playing but the service and food was just fine. The man who took our order didn’t smile and hardly talked. I had the pollo tropical and two empanadas. The food was okay, nothing special. I had the agua de maracuya and that was delicious & refreshing. Overall ok, wouldn’t try it again.
