Authentic Colombian Cuisine in the Upper East Side

Jason R. Best

The location is very snug but they make it work perfectly on the upper East side. The service was excellent and the server was very attentive. It wasn't really a hot day but the air conditioner was not sufficient for a table of 5 and a place with three sets of guests. The food was the centerpiece and it was ... excellent. Everything was cooked and tasted like five star restaurant food. My wife actually finished her steak and my son ate all his chips and guac. I loved my three beef tacos. Our relatives also love their food. They give a pretty large portion of food also. My son compared their french fries to McDonald's and said their fries were better. Read More

Such a cozy and welcoming Colombian spot! My mom and I stopped in for lunch and were really impressed. We ordered the steak and the soup/salad lunch specials, along with a beef empanada—and everything was delicious. The space is warm and inviting, and the service was kind and attentive. Highly recommend if you're ... looking for authentic Colombian comfort food in the UES! The Ajiaco (a traditional Colombian chicken and potato soup) was especially comforting—rich, flavorful, and super satisfying. Perfectly warming and hearty without being too heavy. The steak was also excellent—juicy, tender, and well-cooked. The empanada had a crispy shell with a flavorful beef filling, and the portions were generous for lunch. Read More

Enjoyed our meal here! We got the combo plates with rice, beans, plantains, avocado, and meat, and thought everything was fresh and tasty.

We had churrasco, grilled steak and ajiaco. All of them are highly recommended! Very delicious and the service was great! They also recommended us a delicious dessert made of lime and mango. If you go to nyc and want to try some Colombian food, don’t hesitate to go there, you are going to have a great time! Can’t wait ... to come back! Thanks Read More

By chance we went there last night and had an excellent meal, and an enjoyable time. My wife had a large plate of carne assada with fried plantains that were to die for. I had the popular shrimp tacos, very tasty and filling. It is a small place but very pleasant, and Daniela was most helpful and charming. We will ... definitely go there again! Thank you. Read More
