| - We came here for a birthday get together. We ended up taking the big booth near the front entrance of the restaurant. The booth fit 6 of us and we added two more chairs on the outside so in total our table was for 8.
The birthday boy ordered some appetizers for all of us and they came out on a huge platter. We had plantain chips, fried cheese as well as empanadas. All were very good. There was some confusion with the drink orders and it seemed rather busy in the dining area. The service was very friendly but they just seemed a little disorganized.
There was another large party and while the place was or seemed very busy for a Friday we did have to wait for our food a while. When the food eventually made it to the table though wow. I'm glad there was that much attention and love paid to my dish and all the dishes though. My plate was some sight. I had ordered the Super Bandeja platter which included (as per the menu): rice, beans, 4 oz steak, Colombian bacon and sausage, green plantain chip, sweet plantain, avocado, egg, corn flatbread, and black sausage.
OK so this plate which is 20 bucks is a crazy amount of food especially on the meat side. Despite the quantity the quality was very good as well. Colombian food is not spicy but it's not necessarily bland either. The blood sausage was probably the most tasteless thing if I had to pick one but everything else was pretty much as expected. The steak was good and most of the textures compliment each other. The rice and beans, the different plantains but the bacon/pork belly is the stand out item here. This bacon is really mouthwatering because it's not your everyday cut of bacon. The shape of this cut is almost like a saw blade with thin and thinner parts but with a nice balance of both meat and fat to keep the texture and taste very interesting.
The birthday boy also generously ordered dessert for everybody as well. I didn't have any because I don't eat sweets but I have to say that everything looked really well put together. Everybody seemed to enjoy the food very much considering all the plates were pretty much done.
The service and atmosphere was fun and the owner was very welcoming and loved to talk. This is a great place if you're looking for a change from everyday fare and something a little different and special at the same time. The whole time I was there I felt like I was on vacation.
