Criollan Lovers | Restaurante San Antonio, Cali — Restaurant in Cali

The food and music was amazing. Loved it so much on Saturday that I promptly returned on Sunday. Tried the "causa" entrada the first day - large enough to be a meal for me! Tried one of the Wok rice dishes with beef and chicken the next day - delicious. Giant portion - packed most of the rice for later. Service was a little slow and unenthusiastic on Sunday early evening but I did appreciate the fact that since their wifi was down, one of the waitresses used the restaurant phones to order a taxi for me (solo female traveler).

This is a great place to come for live music from the Pacific! Absolutely amazing! However my Peruvian rice lacked flavor however my girlfriend got the same thing and she enjoyed her so maybe the kitchen just forgot to add the spices as I put my order in later when it was busy. However I will still recommend this place and I will give them another try. Also I’m not sure if the area is dangerous or not but they lock you in the restaurant which is a bit of a fire hazard. Great place to bring a date or come...
