"I've ordered from many different Colombian restaurants and I dont like this one. The chicharrón wasn't crispy enough and had huge chunks of fat more than anything.

"Delicious! The portions are huge and the meat, shrimp, and rice were cooked/seasoned perfectly. Came with macaroni salad on the side. Not usually a fan, but I devoured it. So good. Plantains were perfect texture and sweetness. Guacamole was fresh, with just the right amount of acid and texture. Best meal I've ordered on DoorDash. Will be my new go-to. "

"Food is exceptional here! Always fresh, always flavorful and always delicious. My favorite on their menu is the fried turkey (well done) with brown rice and beans. The large comes with potato salad and if I order the small, I just add the potatoe salad as an extra. I order from this restaurant 2x a week and I tell everyone about them. Do not hesitate to give them a try! Also, if you need certain accommodations with your order, just give them a call directly after; to submit your request. This is a "Chef's Kiss" restaurant."
"First time and the rice and beans were delicious and comforting. The fish was a little salty. Also, this particular order i only received a fish head. I thought i was getting a whole snapper. That should be stated. I do not like fish head, but i ate it. The pate, was a delight. Yummy, flaky. I just ordered 8 more this Am. Thank you"
