Un petit restaurant simple & discret mais qui offre une cuisine typique colombienne succulente!! La carte n'est pas énorme mais la qualité des plats est présente, les goûts, les saveurs , la diversité. Je recommande!!

Je souhaite simplement apportez une correction suite au commentaire du propriétaire affirmant que le pourboire est obligatoire. C'est totalement faux ; le pourboire est loin d'être obligatoire, & vous n'avez aucun droit de prétendre qu'il sert à améliorer le salaire de vos employés. Il vous incombe de fixer le salaire des employés, sans vous baser sur les pourboires. Personnellement, lorsque je commande en ligne ou par téléphone & que je viens chercher ma commande, pourquoi devrais-je donner un pourboire si je n'ai reçu aucun service ? Le pourboire est destiné à récompenser l'attention & le service, ainsi que le goût du plat, & il n'est pas obligatoire. Il faut s'y habituer & s'adapter à la loi du Québec.

Great place! It's pretty small (about 15 places total) & gets busy around late lunch on weekends. We tasted a little bit of everything & most of it was very tasty! The best were the chorizo (juicy & salty!), The fried (simple patacones) & green plantains were super good as well. The chicharron is a MUST; about 1.5inch thick cut with about 20% meat, 80% fat. Empanadas were nice & crispy, all 3 flavours were good, I preferred the beef one. The pork arepa was incredible! The meat was fatty & juicy & you had the freshness from the vegetables, it was a very nice combo of textures. Churros were crisp & fresh & came with a little dulce de leche dip (one churro & dip per order). The Bandeja Paisa is a big platter for the hungry! The steak (churrasco) was my least favourite, as it was tough, dry & lacked flavour in comparison to all the other dishes. Overall, great place & affordable.
