Los frijoles están deliciosos y pedimos chocolate pandembono y bueñuelo para hacer el migao todo muy rico!

The restaurant was cozy and smelled like my abuelita's kitchen! The food was so authentic. It Tasted amazing!

It is one of the few Colombian restaurants in the LA area, and it is not the best nor the worst. The flavors want to be there but it will never taste as the original. I think it is a little overpriced, maybe because of the area where it's located. The service is good but it could be better, a little more attention. The place is nice and clean, except the parking lot, extremely limited and tight.

Family owned authentic Columbian restaurant with huge portions and friendly staff. Probably the best empanada I have ever tasted. They close early so check the hours.

Authentic Colombian food! Great service and food is so delicious. They have a great menu and their drinks are made fresh. I love that they have big portions because you enjoy more food but you can share some of their bigger plates. For example the bandeja paisa.

I ate here 7 years ago on a trip to LA. I am reviewing it today because it showed up on my Facebook feed and I want to remember it for my next visit to LA.
