I went this weekend with a family relative and was surprised that the entrance this so-called restaurant is, is in a basement, so if you have a handicapped person you're going with or you are one, there is no way you're going to get in. The staircases also reek of urine. The restaurant is actually a bar, there are people who will be smoking and drinking, it's not a good place to go on a date or take the family to eat (in my case).
I bought the bandera paisa (peasant's platter) and it cost $35 for a small portion of rice, beans, and salad. They were stingy with the tostones (a deep-fried plantain chip), they could've gave me two at least because the plate was expensive and I could've eaten at some other place and had leftovers as well. The chicharron (pork rind) was normal, I had better at other Colombian restaurants. The fried slice of beef and sweet plantains were good. The salad seemed stale and like it was done the day before.
They overcharged for small juice drinks for 4 dollars each.

The bathrooms look like they're under construction and it was awkward to use them because of wood material and paint buckets left there.
They don't take debit or credit card, everything is with cash. I was disappointed because I could've eaten way better at another place instead of being overcharged $35 dollars for a plate which wasn't worth that amount. My advice: Go...
Read moreAbout a month ago on a Sunday our family visited Toronto and we decided to stop at this place to eat Colombian food. . The music was great but the food was very disappointing and pricey. I ordered the catch of the day fried fish (pargo) $30.00 . To my disappointment it was not fresh at all. and tasted rubbery, it has been re-heated in the microwave. The patacones were also microwave. I love to eat green plantain/patacon and I know how it suppose to taste,. I asked the server/ owner to bring to our table a pitcher of water. He brough us warm water from the tab. When I got home I was very sick I will certailny never again will visit this...
Read moreExquisite soups, and typical Colombian seafood dishes. I have also tried the oxtail soup and it is delicious, they have different methods of payment and now luckily for many they are also on several food apps, I recommend viewing the menu through one of them and then just ordering via phone, I always do take out. Our home favorite is the cazuela de mariscos(seafood chowder) ...try it, it's even better than many I have tried when traveling...
