The food here is decent, not exceptional but certainly not bad. The staff is friendly and welcoming, along with a pleasant traditional Colombian atmosphere.

EDIT: I have edited this review because I feel like one or a few of the reviews prior to mine(or below mine) is artificial/fake. The reason behind this is that someone(or multiple people) changed their star rating after I wrote my review. The average star rating for this place jumped up to 4 stars from 3 ½(which is was after I made my review) despite a new review not being made, which leads me to believe that someone may be artificially enhancing their review of this place. Honestly, I feel a little bad for deflating the rating of this eatery, given that there are such few reviews, which are of high rating. However, I want to give my honest rating for this place. I am sure that a lot of people may have a good experience with this place which makes me feel even more hesitant to give my honest opinion. However, I did not have such a great experience at this eatery. First of all, I was intending to dine in, but even though the place was empty, although there were some delivery calls, the lady behind the counter took a long time to notice me so I went and took a seat by myself and took a delivery menu since I was not given the diner menu. She noticed me after like a good 3 – 5 minutes and then came over and asked me what I wanted to order. I decided on the Tuesday lunch special which consisted of a pork chop, fried rice with beans, and a fried plantain. She asked me for my drink and I said that I would have water for now. That is when I noticed that they charge $ 1.50 for water. At this moment, my decision was made– given that the service was pretty bad here as the lady was inattentive/understaffed(as she was taking delivery orders and was the only one in the store besides the cook), though she was nice and understanding, and that they charged for water –and I changed my order from dine-in to to-go. The food came out after around 10 – 15 minutes and I went back to work to eat it. I was given plastic utensils, and perhaps this is also part of the reason why I had a bad experience. The pork chop was right on top of the rice and there was no room to move any of the food around in the container without some overflowing. This made it nearly impossible to cut the pork chop, especially with the plastic knife, as I spent a good minute trying to cut my first piece. After getting that worked out, I noticed that the bone to meat ratio for the pork chop was extremely high and I barely got a meal out of that. Most of the meal was made up of rice and beans, which honestly did not taste that bad, but I would have assumed there would have been more of pork chops and less of rice and beans. The fried plantain was decent. I ended up actually throwing out the rest of the meal – some rice and beans and the rest of the fried plantain– as I did not like it much. Overall, I did not like the service here as they are clearly understaffed for both delivery and dine-in, and the food was decent at best, and extremely uncomfortable to eat.

The food is always good and reasonably priced, the ladies are nice and cute! I’m lucky that its just around the corner from me so I practically live there… they have a daily soup special that cant be beat, different each day, you get a large or small soup with the addition of chicken or beef, rice, potato salad for $ 8-$ 10. Cant beat that…

Their Mini Typical Platter is good buy 8.50 for Steak Rick bean avocado, egg port skin. the port skin is very special, it is the first I try it it was different and good. there is no waiter therefore you don’t need to pay tip. it is also a good save. if you are in the area you should try it.
