Visiting from D.C.. went here twice on a recent trip. This is my new go-to place in Omaha. Liked everything about it. I’d be a regular if I lived there.

We were highly recommended this place by some locals. While the homey bar/diner was full and clearly popular, and the menu of drinks and eats looked good, we found the actual cocktails and food missed the mark for being delicious. Not an experience we will repeat.

I visited this location in Omaha and it was great. My favorite by far was the cheese cubes with a flavorful jelly and chili flake condiment. The empanadas were good but I'll be going back for the cheese cubes and great drinks. Good choice for a quick snack.

Cancel your other dinner plans, this is a must try! My husband and I went here while visiting Omaha and let me say it impressed me! We struggled to find parking at first, since this is downtown, but once we started eating it was all worth it! You walk in and you are greeted with a casual diner feel filled with music, artwork, and plants! The atmosphere is wonderful for a nice night out with friends or for a date. Our servers were sweet and had great recommendations. I was struggling to pick which empanadas to order but our server recommended the cheese and they were outstanding! The restaurant brings the food out as it is prepared so be ready to get things in different orders but the food is so good you won't mind! We had the empanadas to start with and they are paired with a jam and another sauce which is reminiscent of a pico with more heat and they were SO tasty! I forgot to take a picture and by the time I thought to, I only had one bite left lol! I had the chicken skewers with cassava and the chicken was the most tender chicken I have ever had! Perfectly grilled, fresh chimicuri, and well seasoned! Paired with fluffy cassava topped with a nice fresh pico. I am still thinking of this meal and I can't want to come back to Omaha to have it again

We loved this place! Fun casual atmosphere, I can see this being the perfect place to hang out with friends in the summer time. It was my first experience with Colombian food and I enjoyed several outstanding flavors. I had the Choripan sandwich. I considered the vegetarian version, but it wasn't available and I was informed their vegetarian options were very limited. Not a big deal (for me, but just FYI) and I'm happy with my selection. The sausage and chimichurri were outstanding. Really loved the jalapeño ale as well (shoutout to Kinkaider Brewing). You can taste the jalapeño but it's not very spicy. The empanadas were nice as well and we especially enjoyed the salsa that comes with them.

A nice little bar with a South American feel. conveniently located across the street from the Orpheum theater. Street parking and garage parking are available in the area. We were drawn to this location by their cocktail menu that mentions Caipirinhas (this is the national drink of Brazil - We were on admission after several failed attempts in trying to get this at a certain unnamed Brazilian steakhouse in town, lol). We're happy to report that the Caipirinhas are worthy!This made us want to try some of the tapas items on their abbreviated bar menu. The menu offers a number of South American appetizers are exceptionally shareable. The bartender was very attentive, and checked on us regularly. Recommend if you're having a night out at the Orpheum to stop in here either before or after the show to try some of their signature cocktails.

Amazing vibe and the food was outstanding. I love the smaller portion sizes so you can try lots of things. The sangria is ahhhhhhmazing. Definitely check this place out. It's unique and worth it!!

Absolutely fantastic! Tried several things, completely unfamiliar, but all so so good! Check this place out for sure!
Cumbia is a hidden gem! Being downtown, parkinf can be hit or miss at the meters, but I didn't have to walk far. I came on a weeknight, and the cute patio was bustling, so I opted to sit indoors and enjoy the decor. I started with a mango mojito -- maybe the best mojito I have ever had, so refreshing! For dinner, I ordered the empanadas (1 each of potato, cheese, chicken,and beef). They were light yet full of flavor. Also ordered the Anticuchos, which were chicken skewers with a chimichurri sauce, amazing!! It didn't look like much food but was very filling. Can't wait to come back and share some more menu items with friends!

I never write reviews for places, but I needed to this time around. I am in Omaha for a business trip from Denver, and decided to give this place a shot based on reviews. First off, the waitstaff and ownership are just amazing. They were so gracious to walk me through the menu and drinks, explaining what they specialize in. I was stuck between a few items, but they gave me some recommendations and I was so amazed with the quality. I got myself a house margarita, cheese/chicken empanadas (the sauce with the cheese ones was jaw dropping), Anticuchos/Chuzos, and a Chicharron Sandwich. The flavors and quality of the food was beyond my expectations going in, even after reading the countless reviews of this place showing their quality. I will be going back tomorrow when they open before my flight, as it was simply that amazing. Cannot wait to try a bag of the coffee I purchased as I was leaving.I plead with anyone that reads this review, please go to that place and give it a shot. The food was top notch, prices were amazing, and the staff are so friendly.To the staff: See you guys tomorrow!

What a neat little place! The vibe is comfortable for those both familiar with Spanish culture/food and not. The server/bartender was so friendly and the service was excellent. Their limited menu may be a bit intimidating but I'm sure there something for everyone. Our food and drinks were great

Didn't try the food this time, but the Espresso Martini was amazing...and ice cold! The interior and music makes you feel like you are on vacay! Service was also awesome. There is an outdoor patio, lots of seating inside, and at the bar....and two couches! Will def be back!!!

We went with a group of friends before a concert in Omaha, and since we were a big group we had every single item on the menu to share, everything was absolutely delicious, we had a lovely Brazilian waiter, and had the passion fruit mojito to drink, what a gem to find a place with my favorite drink in the Midwest! I’ve been looking it forever!
