What Our Clients Say

TESTIMONIALS

Absolutely AMAZING restaurant extremely home cooked nostalgic feeling with each item! Me and my freinds devoured it before taking any photos but all of us spent around 20-25$ and extremely filling food and take away!! This is a photo of the day after and even heated in the microwave god was it amazing. I.really recommend the cachapas con queso(empanada on top of it) me and my freinds couldn't help but be reminded of our three grandmother's. Slightly sweet corn Pancake with cheese in between.…

Krisacat D.

A newly opened gem in the Lower East Side serving incredibly delicious and authentic Colombian-Venezuelan fusion cuisine. We sampled the Cachapa—a sweet corn pancake filled with melted mozzarella—along with the shrimp ceviche, Colven bites (mouthwatering Colombian pandebonos), and the chicken salad. Everything was prepared with great care and flavor. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are warm and attentive. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Fernanda G.

Best Colombian food I have had in NYC. Not joking. Order the cachapas!! Those were my favorite.

Roberto E.

New spot in the neighborhood and we stopped by for a Sunday dinner. The food was insanely good! Super fresh, mega flavor, perfect combinations. Plates came out somehow looking just as good as the mouthwatering pictures in the menu. The Playa Rosa cocktail and the Bowl Campesino were special highlights but the Don Patacón (sandwich with fried green plantains as the bread) was also fantastic! Definitely will be back to try the arepas!

Jenn K.

Yum yum yum!!! I did not expect this place to be THIS good and I was a little hesitant because two other Colombian restaurants I've been to were...meh, but this place was unique and everything was soooo fresh and good. I loved that they have a whole mocktail list. We had a virgin mojito and piña colada, both were done so well in taste and presentation. We got the cachapa and chicken empanadas for appetizers. I've never had SWEET arepas before like that, it felt like a cozy sweater on a Sunday…
