"How delicious is the combination of grilled beef and chicken with fried plantains, yucca, and boiled "

"Yes, the rotisserie dish Chicken was absolutely divine. The portions were very good. The Carne Asada was equally as good."

"Fantastic place. Had the churrosco as the main entry and arepa and empanadas for appetizers. The food was perfectly prepared and came out quickly. I used to go to Las Tablas, but am happy I found this place which I prefer. The service was great, our waitress was no-nonsense. She communicated to us in both Spanish' and English which is really great. There was the cutest young lady working at the counter/. These Colombian girls are good, sweet ladies. She was no joke better looking than anyone of these modern women.I am not sure about the criticism I read in the other reviews. Everything was spectacular to me. On the way out I noticed that this place had been Zagat rated.I will definitely be back."

"The staff was very nice and the food was amazing. To be honest I would go back for their arepas alone but everything else was great too."

"Very good and the chicken it's de best, el pollo como lo hacen en Colombia me sorprendió y a pesar de que no me gusta el pollo hay tuve q probarlo."

"I came here for the Carne Asada and I was not disappointed! I opted out of the beans because I don't like beans in general. The juices from the meat seeped onto the rice and it was very delicious and filling! The meat was tender, juicy, hot, and flavorful! If you're looking for a great lunch deal, this is a spot you must try!"

"The food is always amazing and consistent!! The chicken is always juicy and savory. We also get the empanadas with chicken amazing with the green sauce never disappoints. Been going there for two years and it's always really good !"

"My husband loves the rotisserie chicken from this restaurant. The restaurant is usually busy but there are always available tables. My favorite is their arepas. The arepas are a good size and delicious. Out of all the Columbian restaurants I have eaten, this place makes the best arepas. The food is also reasonably priced."

"My son had the Pollo Asado and loved it- very thin and tender came with rice beans and salad for $12 he was able to speak in Spanish to the waiter which was a bonus"

"Food is delicious I live down the street I'm eating for awhile no acknowledgment at all the owner should pay attention to his server's food can be delicious I'm a server for 30 + years my server was very Un attentive. He told me just you as a server. I make more money off of one person than a bunch treat everyone equal. This is my last attempt. I already told some people putting a surcharge. Any city surcharge. Any charge for the credit card is unacceptable."

"Been coming to this place for some time since they opened. Great food, service, ambience, location, free parking. Easy to pick up and go home."

"Primera ves en este lugar y la verdad la comida muy deliciosa y el servicio muy bueno que más puedo decir el precio esta bien por lo que me sirvieron regresamos muy pronto ...."

"I've been here a few times. Lots of seating available. I usually get the churrasco, which is delicious. I've tried the appetizers, which are also all good. Service can be slow to check you out. That's my only complaint. Highly recommend!"

"Great Colombian food. Definitely recommend it. Slightly on the more expensive side but is definitely worth it."

"Having lived in the area for a year now, driving past here daily, and not stopping in, I'm embarrassed. This is a true local gem!The atmosphere is very authentic and energetic. There is tons of hustle and bustle but also attention to detail. The service is quick, friendly, and attentive. They truly have their rhythm down to a science. The food was very tasty and well seasoned. There's no question that the preparation and execution is thoughtful and authentic. I'm glad that I finally stopped in and experienced this place. I'm worried I may never cook at home again. Can't wait to visit again."

"This place is a gem! Definitely the best Colombian restaurant in the city and I've been to them all!! You can't go wrong with any dish on the menu and everything is very authentic! Oh yeah it's BYOB... which other Colombian spot can beat that!!"

"I usually order takeout but it's always delicious and never had to wait more than 15 minutes for my food."

"One of the best places to eat here in Chicago. Their Costillias de Cerdo reminds me of my abuela's lechon in the Philippines. It brings back happy childhood memories every time we visit her in the province. The meat is so tender and well seasoned. It melts in your mouth. The plantains complimented the dish very wellMy overall rating? 10/10"

"This Colombian restaurant has great service food is great the people nice And price is good ,"

"Love this place small lil place great experience every-time I come as well as nice staff"

"Excellent value and the carne asada is soooo juicy, tender and well seasoned!Definitely will be back"

"The food here is sooo delicious. The atmosphere stinks though. The garlic chicken with chimichuri is to die for (I often get a large side of the chimi to take home for other uses)."

"Absolutely delicious! I ordered the carne ensebollada, which is grilled (thin) steak with onions. It was well seasoned and the portion was very generous. It came with a potato (med size), salad, rice, yucca fries and a couple of sweet plantains. I ordered upon arrival and it was very quickly prepared. You can order take out or eat in. The restaurant has a large indoor seating area and a parking lot adjacent to it. A good meal at a good price for what you get!"

"Chicken is always delicious for a good price. Pay with cash to avoid a service charge."

"Yummy authentic Colombian food just like we eat in Colombia. Husband had the carne asada and I had empanadas and arepas con queso. Will definitely go back."

"We frequently wonder how they get the chicken and beans so delicious. The price is astounding for the quality of food."

"Amazing colombian food and priced reasonably. There are other colombian restaurants but this one is pretty good since some of the others are the pricier side. Parking does kind of suck here though."

"Amazing local restaurant. Tasty platters and vegetarian friendly. They have reasonable prices and are incredibly customer oriented. My family and I have ordered from here for a very long time and will continue doing so. Their white rice and yuca is a particular favorite of mine!"

"Love this local gem. Their chicken is so tasty and the quality is top notch. Their whole chicken meal easily feeds our family of two adults and three young kids. Also can't go wrong with the pricing for such a fantastic meal!"

"I must say this place is where you should bring the family and even there take out is great. Awesome lunch special and an amazing fried red snapper in garlic sauce that would have you licking your fingers. They have a good reasonable menu that would make anyone happy and always clean. Try it cuz it won't disappoint !"

"We ordered the whole chicken which was very flavorful. The staff was friendly and greeted me as soon as I entered."

"The chicken is juicy and tender. Delicious!I totally recommended.I also love the rice and beans."

"Awesome place! So happy this little corner building got a great owner. Had some bad juju for a while. The lunch specials really can't be beat. Hell, the prices are great all around. And the food is even better. I've gone here a bunch of times and have never had any issue."

"Would give it 6 stars if I could. Basically everything on the menu is great and I know because I've tried almost everything. I especially like the carne asada, the seafood soup (only on Saturdays), the beef ribs, the rabbit (I've never had rabbit anywhere else), and the empanadas. Also try a cup of aguapanela, a very delicious beverage."

"Smakocz down the street was my initial destination, but it was closed, so I dropped into this Colombian place on the corner. Lucky me! I had the pechuga en ajillo, basically chicken drenched in garlic. If you're a garlic lover, like I am, you won't be disappointed. Chicken was very tender. Look forward to trying a steak dish next time. Que Rico!"

"First time here and it was delicious! Their lunch special is off the hook! You can't beat the $9.00 special! everyone should at least order once! Not only was the food fabulous put the service was outstanding. Waitress and gentleman behind the counter very nice. Will definitely come back again!!"

"Excellent place to go eat, I had the Pechuga en Ajillo and my hubby had El Matrimonio, more than enough food. Sara was our server and she was amazing, she was very knowledgeable about the food and her customer service was 10. Will definitely come back."
