If you are a meet lover, I recommend the 'Lomo al Trapo' which is fantastic, otherwise any of the platain dishes are incredibles. A must have is the 'Lulada'! is the best juice is the world, if you like sour fruits. View all feedback.

I had the empanaditas for starter and the "patacon con pollo, carne desmechada y ahogao". Let me tell you I did not ask for desert.Both the starter and the main were cold or not uniformly warm, as if from the micro wave.Whatever empanadas you'd buy on the street would be a lot better and fresher than this one. It was not crispy, clearly not fried on demand but hours before.The meat and patacon of the main tasted bad,... View all feedback.
If you like plantains (patacones/tostones) this place is worthwhile visiting. They offer thinly-sliced green plantains with a few options (salsa, suero, avocado?) to dip them into. Loved my dish, which was another green plantain with beef and salsa.
This place has traditional Cali style food. It is amazing. Very authentic. Prices are pretty cheap for the amount of food you receive. The service is pretty good, as good as you can expect. Overall this place is worth a shot.
Our friends recommended this restaurant to us and after walking the Usequen market we headed there for lunch. We had ceviche and a sweet plantain with cheese appetizer. There were 6 of us and we all ordered different plantain dishes. Mine included a sweet plantain with corn, chorizo, guacamole and cheese. The flavors were excellent and meshed well together. It was very filling and satisfying. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant filled up quickly while we were there, which is always a good sign.

We loved it so much that we had to go back once more before leaving Colombia. Everything was good, the empanaditas, the trancas, pascuals, ohh and the jugo de lulo, just delicious! oh and service is great as well!
