3 different nationalities, Mexico, Ecuador and the USA, we went to eat at this restaurant and we loved it, the pork rinds were crunchy, and the beans had pieces of green plantain, wow delicious, the atmosphere was good, the service was a little poor, the waitress was a bit annoying and never asked us if everything was okay but the rest of us loved it, if we would come back

This is the place to go for some great Columbian cuisine. I have loved it for years. I moved away from this area years ago but when visiting last week this is where I wanted to eat.Super people that work there. I have always had a good experience.

As a Colombian Im telling you this is one of the best places to get Colombian food. If you are not Colombian do yourself a favor and try the empanada, pandebono, and order a Bandeja Paisa. It's what I have my non Colombian friends try and they always leave loving it.Vegetarian options: Empanadas have a cheese option and pandebono and bunuelos are just cheese and yuca/casava flour. Of course certain options like rice while the beans usually have some pork in it.Dietary restrictions: Pandebonos and bunuelos are gluten free since made with yuca/casava flour while empanadas are made with corn flour.Parking: The parking in front of store is shared with an H&R block and laundromat and the parking immediately nearby is decent. If all else fails parking can be found at Food Lion.Kid-friendliness: The restaurant offers kid friendly options. Can't exactly remember but one of my friends definitely ordered French fries for herself.Wheelchair accessibility: No immediate wheelchair access although it's just a small curb to get over. After that the inside is a little cramp but tables can be moved to accommodate.

I often go to this restaurant for the bonus bread, but it always comes out with a bitter taste due to the attention of the two ladies, which is truly very uncomfortable, they throw everything away!

Small traditional Columbian restaurant. Food made to order. Empanadas were great. Arepas were good, just remember these are different from a Venezuelan arepas. Salsas were tasty.

I used to come to this place years ago when I lived in the area still. Visited again last week and still the best place for Colombian food (especially meats) in the Charlotte Area.

PÉSIMO, todos sus empleados son unos groseros no saben ni decir gracias o de nada. Que horror de restaurante deberían contratar a personas amables y más humildes, no esas señoras mal levantadas.
