Excellent food and service, the atmosphere is also very nice. We tried the veggie arepa and empanada, chicharrón and steak... plantain sandwich. All delicious and made fresh to order. Sandwiches were piled high and very tasty. Will be back soon. Read more
Food was delicious here. Definitely one of the better Colombian places in Chicago. The empanadas were fresh and delicious.... Bandeja Paisa and the pollo asado were perfect. Missed the fifth star because they were ?out? of a lot of things. I get it,sometimes you will run out of a type of meat or maybe you did not get the deliveries. But being out of essential items likesugar? Could not order a lot of the drinks on the menu because of no sugar? Go across the street to the grocery store and buy abag of sugar. There was one server, he managed okay, but seemed distracted. Couldn?t even look at us when talking to us, keptstaring out the window. Maybe thinking about going to store for sugar, lol. Read more
You could walk by this small storefront without seeing it, but that would be a huge mistake. Delicious food from different parts... of South America. The chef has Colombian and Ecuadorian roots and both find their way into the menu. Some of my favoritesinclude the arepa rellena (stuffed corn cake) and sandwich de platano, which is something like a Puerto Rican jibarito. Manyitems can be ordered in vegetarian options. They have full steak and seafood dinners too. I'm a big fan of Albany Park's diningscene and this place is another great reason to seek out a deliciously diverse meal there. Read more
Fantastic brunch. We ate the arepa stuffed with scrambled eggs and cheese, and we also ate the steak and eggs. Both were served... with delicious breakfast potatoes! Legit Colombian food and awesome coffee! Read more
