Fantastic food and service! Natalia is a very attentive and sweet waitress and her service was excellent. The bandeja paisa was delicious and so was the tostones rellenos ? the ambience was great for family night or date night, with live music mixed with TVs showing the games. My husband and I will be back!

Came here on a Monday afternoon for dinner with my BF and 1 yr old. Upon entering, we were greeted and seated by our waitress. She accommodated us very well since we had the stroller which was very nice. The restaurant has very nice decorations however the music could have been lowered just a smidge. We started off with 2 sangrias, the passion fruit and mango flavor. They were amazing! We then ordered ceviche de chicharrón, recommended by the amazing waitress Carolina. For entrées, I had the Bandeja Paisa and my bf had Filete de Pescado en salsa de Camarón. They were delicious. For dessert we had the passion fruit cheesecake which was delicious as well. Highly recommend this place and especially the sangrias!

As a Colombian native person let me tell you guys that the food in this place is below the standard that one would expect ... I had high hopes for this play because of the outside and inside decor one would think that the food would do the same. BUT NO, my friends I got the hot dogs ( perros caliente ) and Burgers it was blah didn't get the sauces right and it just doesn't have that taste that you get with Colombian restaurants in Queens, one of my friends ordered the traditional bandeja paisa and it was just blah, Rice tasted Old hard ( you can tell it had been out for a while ) meat was overcooked, and the most alarming part was that it came out before our hot dogs and burgers, which mean only one thing, food isn't being made fresh. NON-COLOMBIANS are going to love this place because it's different. After all, there aren't many Colombian competing places and unfortunately, they don't know any better. However what my friends and I did love was the vibe and the drinks, I definitely see ourselves watching big soccer events and drinking there on the weekend but when it comes to FOOD nope never again we'll just stick to basics, and call it a day Whoever reads to this point if you're looking for better Colombian food go to Noches De Colombia in Mineola or even Sabor a Colombia in Franklin Square these places get it right .... but if you're looking for a great vibe to watch soccer and drink with your friends this will be your spot

So glad to know they opened this location so close to Long Island! Food was very good, the drinks were tasty and the environment was great! We had a great experience at this cool Colombian restaurant. I enjoyed my bandeja Paisa and my kids the mini bandeja, we will definitely add this restaurant to our go to for Colombian food.

The food was good. Well cooked. The tostones were not that hard which made it very easy to eat. The sancocho was to die for!!! The taste was super Colombian. The meat was tender and the rice was just at the right point.

The food here is pretty good. The service can be a little lacking. Sometimes, but overall it's a good experience. The atmosphere is really cool and the decor is

Ordered un perro caliente- perro callejero to go. I waited outside my car for 10 minutes, and then when I went inside I waited another 5 minutes so 15 minutes altogether not bad. They charge 0.50 cents for to go containers by the way. I was so excited to eat it that I opened it in my car and it was cold. It was not a perro caliente, it was a perro frío. The hotdog was cold, the bun wasn't even toasted. The cheese was cold, they didn't even try to melt it. Very disappointing to charge $11 for a cold hotdog. The 2 stars is for the food, the service was fine.

A must go to restaurant!! The food and drinks were excellent and tasteful!! The atmosphere was interesting, intriguing, and pleasant. The waiters were sweet and courteous, and the manager Andres came and introduced himself. Overall, it's so great to have a decent place to come to eat and celebrate with friends, family, lover, or even by yourself so close to home. They will sure see me again!! ?

This is the problem with this place. I was so happy another Colombia restaurant was going to be part of my neighborhood. The food is really good. Unfortunately not too happy about the place. Smells like Fabouloso, a very strong cleaning spray which takes away the smell of the delicious food. How can people eat smelling that offensive strong scent. A restaurant is supposed to smell like food, not like a laundromat.
