Best Colombian food in the Charlotte area. The owners are very hands on and very attentive. I usually go there for lunch. They have daily specials and it is a different dish every day. So make sure you ask them about the specials. If you want to try something more hearty and have a big appetite, I recommend the Bandeja Paisa. This is Colombia's national dish and they make it to perfection. The portion is very generous and will not disappoint you.
This place is also good of you have a hangover. Gil's makes the BEST soups in town. As a matter a fact, they have articles from local newspaper hung around the restaurant. The articles praises the chef's (Gil's wife) cooking and soups.
The atmosphere is very clean and inviting. You will listen to Colombian music in the background and enjoy lots of Colombian knickknacks hanging around the walls. They also have a flat screen that in always playing beIN Sports. Sit down and enjoy a soccer game while you enjoy their food.
I love this place and I highly recommend it to everyone! As a Colombian, I approve 100% and this is the closest that I get to my mom's cooking.
