| - Only been here once(so far) to be honest I've never tried Colombian eats, but my friend brought empanadas to our work party one time and I fell so hard in love with it and its aji dipping sauce.
When I parked, I couldn't tell if there was a seating area, it looked like a walk up/ counter. My sister and I were just planning to order some empanadas to go, but after meeting the owner and being fed his spanish greeting and his cultural energy, we decided to sit in. We looked thru the menu, very different of course, from a Mexican menu. But I have this weakness for tamales. So we ordered a couple empanadas and one Tamal, it comes with side of lightly sweet n sticky rice. Allow me to emphasize on the aji sauce. I love celantro and lime. Therefore I love this sauce. Dont be afraid to drench your empanadas in aji or drench you aji in empanadas.
Its a family oriented little restaurant. Has that "downtown shack" feel to it, but it's no biggy to me when the food and service is on beat.
We also had some Colombian soda. Nothing special. But, we did buy some Colombian chocolate candy. Pretty nifty.
Something I did notice, sis and i were already done with dinner, and just chatting it up, when I noticed the workers putting up chairs. I realized they were closed 9 minutes ago. It's truly amazing when these folks are patient and not trying to rudely get rid of us. I appreciate great hospitality.
