We had some time to spare before our flight, so we stumbled upon this gem near the Florida Mall. It turned out to be an incredible experience at a truly authentic Colombian restaurant. The servers, dressed in traditional Colombian attire, added to the charm. We enjoyed some great drinks, a fantastic selection of food, and delicious seafood. It was such a memorable experience that we’ll definitely be returning the next time we're in Orlando.

Food was delicious! Our server was Anthony. He was very nice and patient and attentive! We had a big party of people and he made our experience very nice. I would recommend this restaurant. The coconut lemonade is out of this world.

We were so upset to find out that they have been here for 10 years, and it was only yesterday that we found it. The service was exceptional, as soon as we walked in a warm, friendly greeting. The decor is beautiful, and the food! We ordered the chicken wings(no sauce needed), perfectly seasoned, perfectly fried, just delicious. And since we had been all day at the parks and we were hungry, we ordered the "Bandeja Paisa", I was ready to cry... didn't know where to start. A piece of the chicharron, sabroso, a piece of morcilla (in place of the chorizo) glorious, and now the steak, amazing!! The fried egg(not it photo cause I placed it aside), it was the pretiest over easy egg I've seen in my life...the beans were exceptionally good. Im.not a food critique, not a chef, but I do very well in a kitchen and I tend to be a bit of a critique when I go to restaurants and more "Spanish restaurants", they definitely out did them selves, I just found my favorite Colombian place.. Forgot to the mention my beers...on point, cold and tasty!

Went to this restaurant with my wife and the recommendation of a Colombian friend that lives in Orlando. The portions were very generous with the meat platter. It’s enough to honestly feed a family of four easily. The drinks were good and the food quality was excellent. The waitress was very happy and nice and we definitely felt like we were appreciated being at this restaurant. Very recommended place. Also it doubles as a Latin nightclub on weekend nights.

WOW!! This is such a charismatic place in the community. My boyfriend is Colombian and so are some of my friends. We go for games and the crowd this place pulls in is incredible. The energy, the atmosphere, it is so inviting and truly embraces the love Colombians have not only for futbol, but for their country. The food is great, very good portion sizes as well. The service is well kept up with for the volume of people in attendance. The music is great. I would say show up like an hour to 2 hours before a big game starts to ensure your searing. The lines get overwhelming but there are DJs to prevent boredom. If you haven’t been, you have to go!
