Reviews
For drinks I tried their jugos naturales en augua (nature flavored water). They have so many flavors to try (mango, papaya, guava etc.) and you can get milk versions of them too. I tried their blackberry water and it was super delicious 9/10.
For appetizers we had fried plantains 7/10, yucca frita (yucca fries) 7/10 and mixed ceviche platter 7/10. The mixed ceviche platter was quite the sight! It had shrimp, scallops, octopus and avocado. If you are in the mood for some seafood I recommend trying this dish.
For main dishes we had the carne en crema de champinoñes (beef in mushroom sauce) 8/10, the picadillo de pollo (marinated chicken) 7/10 and pescado frito (whole fried fish) 7/10. For any of the dishes you can also get a side of rice and beans, fries, salad, or fried plantains.
For dessert we got flan 7/10 and churros with ice cream 7/10. This place is very affordable and provides great portion sizes. I can see why they have two other locations (Boston and Brookline!).
Next time I come back (or perhaps do delivery!) I want to explore more of their drinks and of course get plantains/yucca fries.

However, the service was… well, our server tried every trick in the book to upsell and overcharge us. Two juices? No, we only ordered one. Bottled water? No, a glass is fine. Two bandera paisa plates? Again, just the one of those. Finally, when we were ready to pay and handed over our credit card she came back without an itemized receipt and it seemed a little high. Sure enough, they’d added a 20% gratuity without telling us and were hoping we’d add another 20%.
It was an authentic and delicious restaurant but let’s just say if you don’t blend in be on guard.
