I recently visited this charming local cafe and had a fantastic experience! Marta provided amazing service, making me feel right at home. The food was excellent, with a real sense of authenticity. I highly recommend trying the Chicharrones paired with their homemade Picante sauce an absolute must! Looking forward to my next visit!

This Colombian cafe is amazing! The food is fresh and full of flavor—I loved the arepas and calentado. The coffee is rich and smooth, just like it should be. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is very friendly. A perfect spot for a delicious and authentic breakfast!

Top notch empanadas! If you want to impress at a party, order a few dozen of these. Every one will love that showed up! I’ve sat down to eat here. 100 times better than any “noches”

So glad i found this spot! Tired of driving to Hackensack for my Colombian food! I could eat those empanadas all day.

Great local place that offers delicious food. I've only done takeout, but they have a good area to sit down. Love their daily specials that come with soup and an entree (rice/meat) for a good price (11). Plenty to choose from the regular menu. They have picadas, too, that come with an assortment of meats, plantains, and other items.

Went there with a Groupon Voucher and had three excellent tapas dishes to share, with a glass of wine each. Great value and the food was fabulous. Also had coffee and a slice of delicious and moist lemon almond and white chocolate cake. Yum! Excellent service as well. We will be going back.

Not sure why the low stars on Yelp, I been coming here for a few months now which I found after my regular Colombian spot was close for dine in due to 2020 government regulations. The food has been consistent and the service has been great. The waitress are helpful and professional. They were closed for about 2 months due to some personal/business issues. I am glad they reopen with the same great food and great vibes.
