Customer Reviews
Excellent restaurant The food was absolutely delicious and very generous amount of food for the cost. Sangria was excellent and I also test the aguardiente Amarillo wow super smooth. Brenda and Vanessa very nice service! Thank you. I’m definitely coming back with friends and family. I wish them the best of luck! Great to have a good Colombian restaurant in the area
Such a beautiful place to eat at. I love a restaurant with beautiful decor. The decor to this place made me feel like I was actually in Colombia 🇨🇴 ! The food was amazing and it was a generous portion for the price for each plate. Very great drinks as well! Our waitress came periodically to check on us to see how we’re doing or if we needed anything else. Great first time experience for us!
Tucked away from the bustling streets lies a culinary treasure that transports diners straight to the heart of Colombia. This hidden gem offers an authentic experience that goes beyond just the food—it's a journey home for those familiar with Colombian culture and a delightful discovery for newcomers. The atmosphere is as inviting as it is nostalgic. The warm dĂ©cor and vibrant music set the tone, making you feel as if you've stepped into a traditional eatery in Bogotá or MedellĂn. The welcoming staff only adds to the charm, ensuring every guest feels right at home. When it comes to the food, the portions are as generous as they are flavorful. Each plate is a celebration of Colombia’s rich culinary heritage, showcasing bold, comforting flavors. The size of the dishes makes them perfect for sharing, or, for the solo diner, an opportunity to take home delicious leftovers. And the best part? The value. For the price, the quality and quantity are unparalleled. It’s rare to find a place where you leave feeling both utterly satisfied and as though you’ve discovered a secret too good to keep. Whether you're a Colombian food aficionado or simply looking to expand your palate, this restaurant is a must-visit. It’s a slice of Colombia right in your backyard, and it’s sure to leave you planning your next visit before you’ve even left.
If you’re looking for authentic Colombian food that tastes delicious, eat here! Recently opened in Ronkonkoma. Next door to what used to be the Village Green mini golf course (Now a 7-11 /gas station in the making). Our server was great! She was happy to explain to us what any of dishes on the menu were. The menu in my opinion has plenty of delicious sounding Colombian selections to please various diners’ food moods. The portions were VERY generous. Meals were more than enough to share. We each got a meal so we could all try a few different dishes. Check out the photos I posted. No kids menu but if your child likes rice, beans and grilled chicken they’ve got that! They were out of regular coke when we visited, but I cannot see that being a long lasting problem. Our server let us know about the Colombian sodas they had and the fresh juice drinks they make - we tried strawberry - it was kind of like an ice based smoothie - it was yummy. You can also have it made with a milk base. Curious about that! Next time. Prices were reasonable for the amount of food we were served. We’ve been eating left overs for a few days now. A great new restaurant in our town that you should go visit and we’ll be sure to visit again - hopefully next time with some friends or family! I LOVE how they decorated the vestibule. Such a change from the empty space it once was. Neon sign, Flower wall with a couch and all! Happy eating!
What a great place! The ambience is perfect! I feel like I stepped into a little piece of Columbia. Everything we tried was delicious. We especially loved the guacamole with tostones and Chicharrón. Our waitress Maria was super friendly and made us feel very welcome! Definitely check it out if you’re in the area!!
