Quiet, funky (in a good way) Columbian street food Take out or eat in. Our food was great and the staff person was super helpful to me as I was new to Colombian food. Decor is easygoing with casual seating at small tables. There were four of us and we had enough room for all of our food and utensils. I chose a spicy sauce and so used it sparingly. I definitely want to return to try more items. I wish I lived closer!

My husband and I were visiting Maine for the first time and I am glad I found this restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere and comforting food for the latin soul. Any others I think you would enjoy the delcious street food… so give it a try!

We loved the veggie arepas — full of fresh vegetables, tasty creative sauces and great portion size. Each arepa was $17 + $4 for the cheese which made them overpriced at $24 hence the 4 stars and not 5. Columbian iced coffee was delicious. Service, atmosphere and location were good.

I wasn’t sure what to expect but I wanted something different and usually anything from south of the border doesn’t disappoint. Foolishly I was expecting mexican I guess. A small limited menu, but it did not disappoint. I forgot already what the item was called but it was A
Pocket full of , pork and chicken, and I want to say pico de gallo. Different sauces to choose from. It did not disappoint. It was huge. Definitely didn’t need to order anything else. You can tell they make this stuff with pride. I didn’t get a chance to try any of the dishes with plantaine. As I was walking out, I kind of regretted not ordering something else for later. I would highly recommend this place. I am craving more

Nice small Colombian restaurant. Food was hot and fresh. Been here a few times and have gotten various Arepas and empanadas and I’ve never had a bad meal! Perfect lunch spot.

The food here is delicious and fresh. The garlic lover was full of flavor. The arepas are a must get. I could’ve eaten 3 plates just on my own. There are six different dips to choose from. We got the ajo and the spicy suerito and both were fantastic. I look forward to trying more menu items in the future.
This was my first experience with Columbian food. The cashier/server was very polite and provided suggestions since we let her know that it was our first time. She definitely took the opportunity to let us know what was popular and what her favorites were.
There is free one-hour street parking in front of the building – we were lucky to find a spot close by. We were actually pretty excited about it. We did see the parking attendant chalking tires, so make sure to keep it under an hour. We also found that leaving the parking space was a bit difficult due to cars stopped by the intersection. My suggestion is to park across the street (still street parking) on the opposite side and walk over. You won’t have as much difficulty pulling out when leaving.
Overall this is a great small business to support that will provide a memorable experience for your taste buds.

I ordered online however, there was a system error so my order was not placed. It took another 20 minutes ( Not their fault) . I definitely enjoyed their veggie Arepa ( the overload of chick peas was too much) , I’m happy I added the plantains. They increased the flavor. The black bean arepa lacked in seasoning…definitely a minus for me because I threw away $16 just like that… The arepas I look for are never the same to the ones I’ve had in puerto Rico. And this doesn’t come close. The bread is not fluffy, it’s flat no sweetness, tasteless .
It’s a family owned business which I love and support, service was kind, restaurant was cute and clean. Worth coming? Maybe to someone but I’ll pass. In the end I wasted $33 ish and my time.

Gluten free options! Small and wonderful restaurant. The menu is limited. The focus is Street food like a food truck would be. All the food was delicious. Parking is very limited.

Overall the food was about average. The portions were large, but for the price I would consider it not a great value. The pork didn’t have much seasoning and felt more like mush. Friendly service but was just average for the high prices. ($20 for a filled arepa!)
