Food was amazing and very authentic. Staff was polite and welcoming. Mixed reviews but I imagine that the negative reviews are jelly people that have friends that own other South American restaurants in the area. Atmosphere and music made our visit pleasant. Will definitely be back.

One lady in the hotel recommended this place and we were very happy to eat here. It's really tasty and portions are huge. We don't speak Spanish, but still managed to understand each other :) Home made lemonade is sooo good!

Came in for the first time, food was amazing. The restaurant was so beautiful, it really made you feel like you were in Colombia. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. This is definitely a new "spot". Will be back as soon as possible and can't wait to bring friends who haven't tried it yet. Keyword: Authentic!!
