Very cordial and friendly service. Food was very authentic and seasoned with love. For a tiny restaurant that seats less than twenty inside, it definitely made a huge impression on me and my family. ?

Great little Colombian spot. The food and ingredients were all super fresh. The staff was helpful and quick. We had the empanadas and ajiaco, they were both great and very authentic. :) try a refajo to drink!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I used to live in NYC. My love is so deep I make sure to stop by every trip I am back just to get empanadas and arepas. They are GLUTEN FREE also. The staff are amazing. The aji sauce for the empanadas is to die for. I want to bathe in it. I used to buy it separately to take home and use with other meals.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegetarian options

Food was okay. Service wasn’t the best. 18% gratuity was already included on the bill and then they provided a line for additional gratuity and even the suggested percentage you should leave. I have never seen this before.

Ordered a large bandeja paisa and expected to get a shareable size but all I received was one small tray of food. I was so surprised at the size because any large bandeja paisa I’ve ordered had always been way more than enough food and feeds more than one person and for $32 I expected the same. Food was alright but portion was way too small in my opinion.

Authentic and delicious Colombian food. Incredible service and cozy, authentic atmosphere. The bandeja paisa is the way to go. We got the chicken and the vegetarian version of the dish and it was great!

As a Colombian, I don’t recommend this place. For good Colombian food go to Jackson Heights in Queens. The food/quality/price equation ofthis place is totally unbalanced. And they charge 18% of service for parties greater than 0. What a joke.

(Ordered for takeout) The empanadas were great for gluten free. Nice and "flaky" - beef was the best followed by cheese. The chicken is too lemony so I would skip it altogether. I was so excited for pandebono though because I haven't had it since I developed my gluten allergy. I took it right out of the bag and ripped the lid off. I bit into it and it tasted like a LITERAL ROCK with salt. Rarely do I spit out the first bite of food but this is one of those moments. I wish I could get my money back. Now with the delivery: I was thinking how lucky they have their own website where you can order delivery. It was only 8 blocks from me so I thought it would be quick for a couple of pandebono and empanadas. IT TOOK AN HOUR AND A HALF for appetizers to be delivered. After over 50 mins of waiting did I find out that they outsource their deliveries to Uber and I couldn't add any more tip to the driver. With all the other reviews feeling like they've been scammed by high service charges while dining in, I'm concerned that the tip I added and the delivery charges were not given to the driver who had to wait for my food and drive in the rain.

Small little restaurant with some delicious Colombian food. Ordered the Ropa Vieja and the beef was perfectly seasoned. Cocktails were also very good.
