We were starving after a long day of outing – and arrived here for some Colombian food. The staff greeted us and showed us our table. It is a small and cute place with ample seating. We ordered arepa sandwich with shredded chicken, ropa vieja con patacon, yuca fries with chimichurri and ensalada de casa with passion fruit dressing. The fries were crispy and chewy – the chimichurri it came with was fresh and herby. The salad was super fresh – it had apples, greens, baby tomatoes and avocados. The passionfruit dressing was the winner today. The arepa had a generous amount of shredded chicken – i was so full after. The carne asada was succulent and meaty. The accompanying beans and rice were fantastic – among the best beans I have had. The service was fast and the staff were so kind. What a great find this was! I would love to visit again.

Food taste was good, customer service ok, price unbelievable! Out of control, a single empanada for $7
A manzanita beverage for $6 a Bandeja paisa for $27 and to make it worst a 18% service charge and they expect a tip on top of the service charge?
Check the receipt before you tip!!!

The food here was great! This was our fist time trying Columbian food. I’m always skeptical in trying new food/dishes but, the food was delicious and so was the coffee. The ambiance was great! We were able to have great conversation without too much noise/music playing in the background. The establishment isn’t super big, but very pleasant. The service was great as well.

My wife and I had lunch here on a Friday and it was really great. We arrived around 1 and had no problem getting seated. I had the arepa sandwich which was very tasty with the arepa bringing a great flavor. My wife had the vegetarian plate which was very good but we decided the sandwich was the winner. Only item was that my wife likes black tea and they only had green tea and herbal tea bags. We will return.

Wow! Everything is gluten free. The Pollo a La Plancha was a hearty portion of grilled chicken breast and pineapple grilled perfectly and served with avocado, fried plantains, and a side salad (without tomatoes to make this dish nightshade free). The unique seasoning of the chicken could have been slightly heavier. But I appreciated that by avoiding excess spicing, the natural flavors of the pineapple and avocado nicely served as nice complements. The Ajiaco grande bowl provided a nice variation on chicken soup. The empenada de chile verde won strong approval from my wife (not nightshade free). There was a problem with the rice maker, so we were instead given yuca frita, normally an appetizer, instead as the side for our meals. The yuca frita proved a fun alternative to french fries. Both of us loved the cilanto chimichurri served with the empanada and yuca frita; it seemed free of chili (nightshade-free). The small restaurant was nearly full on this Friday night, so it took awhile for food to arrive. But the service was excellent and the food worth the wait. The food came out hot and lovingly prepared. Order an appetizer and plan to linger. I suggest the proprietors add cushions to the chairs to make the lingering more comfy. We will be back!

Incredible food in such a beautiful space. Ordered the passion fruit jugo and had the bandeja paisas for dinner. It was so delicious, the chicharrones were fantastic!!!

I was so very excited to find a Colombian restaurant in ABQ after my visit to Colombia earlier this year. I really loved the yuca frita and my Patacon con ropa vieja. Unfortunately my partner’s steak (Carne con arepa) was overcooked. The service was very slow despite there only being a handful of customers when we were there.

The service was slow. Seems like there was only one cook and one server. I’m not sure if they make empanadas in-house, but it tasted like it was frozen pre-made emapanada. Food tasted good and fresh, but the proportion of the protein and sides were off. Like I already finished salad and rice, and I still had meat left. More of the salad would be great. So, it’s expensive for what you get. The Arepas sandwich was ok. Probably won’t go back.

This was our first.

The food was great. We had empanada, sweet plantain, yuca fries, aroz con pollo and passion fruit juice.

The empanada was ok. I felt the outer cover was a little chewy- not sure if that’s the normal way. The filling inside was ok but the sauce that came with it was excellent- tasted like spicier salsa.

The yuca fries was excellent. Each bite with the chimichuri sauce tasted amazing.

The sweet plantain was amazing too. The crispy outside and the gooey inside was on spot.

Aroz con pollo was probably my least fav. I probably need a lot more flavor and spice

The inside felt a little stuffy and not enough ventilation. We probably sit outside if we go next time.

Overall very good Colombian food. We will come back!
