This place is one of the few and probably best authentic colombian food restaurants outside of LA. The Bandeja paisa, Sancocho, empanadas, and Picada are all recommendations. During the holidays they may offer unique selections such as Lechona. For the best experience I recommend eating there. Unfortunately the two biggest problems they have is they often charge random charges on to go orders to try and make a few extra dollars, and unless you eat there they are VERY cheap with the portions on to go orders. This has driven some friends and family away, bad business practices but great food.

I tried their empanadas ($1.75), bandeja paisa ($16.25)and lulo ($3.75) which is sour apple. The lulo drink was creamy and cold, I haven't tried it before but I like the citrusy taste to it. I tried two empanada which was filled with creamy shredded chicken, very moist in a corn based empanada. It comes with green chili sauce that was not too spicy and lime wedge. I tried one of their most ordered dishes, bandeja paisa ($16.25), which is rice, lettuce, tomatoes, a sunny side up egg, a strip of fried pork belly, thin steak, a fried plantain, an arepa and a small bowl of beans. Very heavy meal that filled me up quickly. It seems to be family owned and the man was friendly. They have a few tables and a small parking lot.

Amazing! 10/10. My husband and I ordered 2 cheese arepas, 1 empanada, 1 lulo, 1 bistec, and 1 bandeja paisa. All under $50. The inside is small and cash only but the food is so worth it. It helps to know Spanish but the menus are in Spanish and English, so if anything you can point to your options. The lulo was so interesting- honestly it reminds me of orange Julius lol Seemed like a family owned business, an older gentleman helped us out. Very kind service.

This place has been here for years, I've been to every other business in this strip mall but this one. Well scratch this one off the list too. Always looking for something different for my kids to try. They were game. Small little place. It was busy with only one mesera. She did tell us it would be a moment. Well once we placed our order it did take about 45 min and we got it to go. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa with carne asada. It was a strong dish. Little bit of everything came with it. I ordered a morcilla aka blood sausage. Haven't had that in years and it was good if that's your cup of tea. Other dish we ordered was the aroz con pollo and some empanadas. Food was good. Only thing in hindsight is I think we should of dined in. Because after waiting for our order we still had to drive home afterwards. That was are The service was great by the lone mesera and she helped us with the menu too since we were newbies. I will definitely come back to dine in and try another dish.

Yes, get the Bandeja Paisa. Yes, get the empanadas. Yes, support the small hole in the wall business that grabs your heart strings the moment you are seated. You can easily tell it's family owned and with all heart. An amazing menu with delicious Colombian dishes and face it, we don't have too many Colombian restaurants in and around our neck of the woods. So this little place is a gem. The chicharron on that bandeja Paisa, alone with the rice, would make me a happy camper all day. Those empanadas, came out piping hot and fresh from the kitchen with limes and chimmichuri. Just heavenly. I'm disappointed I haven't found them sooner!
