Great Colombian Restaurant!. Great fresh food and friendly service. The place is very nice inside. Outside you would think it's not a great place but inside is so nice and a great atmosphere. Nice bar, big screen lcd plasma TV's, big booths and nice tables and chairs. All hardwood floors. My only complaint is that we have gone a few times with our baby and the high chair has no working restraint belts. All of their high chairs they said the belt's don't work. Anyone that has a baby knows they can't sit still and like to move, so she would constantly almost fall out. We had to hold her while we eat and it was difficult. But going back to the food. It really has great Colombian Food. And I guess for the American Gringo that only knows Mexican food and think all spanish food is like that, they have a mexican section in the menu for you folks. If you don't know the difference here it is - Colombia and most of South America and The Carribean don't use any type of Chili Spices, no flour tortillas, so that eliminates, tacos, burritos, fajitas, quesadillas, they don't use cheddar cheese or sour cream. Other spanish countries use garlic, olive oil and oregano which is never in any Mexican cooking. Typical dishes usually have Slow Cooked Pork, Rotisserie Chicken, Thich cut bacon, Grilled Skirt Steak, Grilled Shrimp, Grilled Chicken Breast. Usually served with white rice and slow cooked red beans made in a garlic sauce with a tomato onion base. Includes Fried Plantains.
