The first time ordering from here was not a good experience. They messed up our order and didn?t take responsible for the error, So we had to pay for the extra meal they made by accident. It was expensive and veggies were horrible. The customer is always right. First and last time I order from here. View all feedback.

This is the best fish store in the area. They have fresh fish, steamed fish, fried fish, you name it you get it. Their fried vegetables are delicious

In the realm of Colombian cuisine, this local eatery has generated a wide spectrum of opinions. Some patrons were disappointed by incorrect orders, stale items, or lackluster service, while others sang its praises for authentic flavors, generous portions, and refreshing juices. Amidst the criticisms of cleanliness and professionalism, many expressed a fondness for its casual atmosphere and culinary delights, particularly its arepas and smoothies. Despite varied experiences, the restaurant remains a cherished spot for those seeking genuine Colombian fare, enticing newcomers to explore their own tastes beyond the mixed reviews.
