We have been here many times. I eat when visiting family. It's so good! Not only is the bakery side phenomenal, with its "pan de bono" but the restaurant side keeps the meal with VERY authentic taste and selections. We will for sure continue to come here and enjoy the food. The service is also excellent, the employees are attentive, courteous and friendly. The inside also gives it a great feel, atmosphere. Overall five stars.We have been here many times. I come when I visit family. It's so good!

Very slow, the service had nothing to do with it, I asked for lemons and it arrived almost when I finished eating, then I asked for a container for the soup and the girl, nothing to do with anything to see, attended to everyone who arrived and there was nothing she brought me the container or she said, very bad service.

I came to this restaurant thinking I'd receive an authentic Colombian experience as a Colombian myself. While the server we had was kind and attentive, one of the others, the one wearing glasses, wasn't, and in fact, she got many things wrong. I repeatedly asked that the sausages and French fries I ordered for the kids were sausages and not hotdogs. I'm very intentional with what I eat and the kids eat. I don't want the nitrates and over processed, unhealthy side effects on the body that come with eating hotdogs. The "sausages" and fries arrived, and it was hot dogs. I pointed this out, and she was repeated in a hostile tone that they were sausages.We also ordered bread, and while the other server was kind and attentive and said she'd put aside our bread, but the other, who had been told not to sell our bread, sold it anyway.In the end, the food was only okay. I've gone to a few other Colombian restaurants in Charlotte and the encompassing area, and only one other was also mediocre. For the price, the rice isn't flavorful or generous, considering how cheap rice is, and they can't even be bothered to give you more than 2 small pieces of plantains, unlike other places Ive been to. I might even be alright with the portions if the food was more flavorful, but this was amateur hour.The only redeeming quality, besides the primary server we had, was the bread we ordered, despite the fact we didn't get the bread we came for to begin with. I'm being generous with the stars I gave.Edit: Removing one more star. I just looked at my receipt and realized that I ordered 3 choclos sin queso and they only gave me two.

Ordered beef empanadas, got crust shape empanadas filled with potatoes and damn near no meat, not the traditional beef and cheese empanadas, very disappointed ☹️

beautiful and simple bakery that carries the Colombian culture! 10/10.???i will just recommend, re do the position of tables. more space between tables, as well from fridge or power equipment.??add more variation of empanadasadd pasteles ( or maybe on the weekends)?️maybe couple single tables ( 1-2) in front o the glass to enjoy the view. i know is small place.?add cilantro dipping sauce, aka tartara sauce.and hopefully, get a new location with more room.outside of all that. beautiful place to get a snack or coffee and enjoy yourself. ?
