It was so nice. Good food for an affordable price. You can't find that anywhere anymore. It was so good I had dessert but forgot the pic.

I love the food. My favorite it the tallarin verde with fried chicken breast.The sauce of the pasta is perfectly creamy and flavorful.The chicken breast are very good in fast and very juicy not dry. They play soccer games when they are going on and the colombia bakery is absolutely delightful coming from a fellow Colombian. Live the restaurant definitely coming back.

Their daily option menu/special of the day is 10 which includes appetizer, entre (portion enough for 2 people) and a soda. I've tried other dishes they offer, very delicious and satisfying. Oh! Their ceviche (I've tried the fish, not the mix about 4 times) is awesome! You get your money's worth and more.

Their food is so good and tasty. The Service is really good, the workers are really helpful and when I asked if they can recommend something they gave me a lot of options which were SO good I would recommend to go there with your family.
