Fairly large portions, amazing flavours, reasonably priced given the large portions. Tropical smoothies were lovely and so the empanadas and platano maduro con quezo. The churrasco was huge ans to die for. First time we have visited and we will visit definitely visit soon.

As soon as we walked in, a waiter with the friendliest of smiles greeted us and took us to our seats.The empanadas were filled with meaty potatoey goodness, and were made even better with the spicy salsa.The bandeja paisa might look very intimidating to the uninitiated, but after a few bites you will want to hoover the dish up immediately.In conclusion, do yourself a favour and grab a meal here (if you're around the area)!

So much loved the food there and lovely people are serving the dishes too - very important! 😉 You must try the Colombian beer too, different taste from what we know, very nice. 🍻🍺Nice & big portions and if you cannot eat it all, you can have it as a take away! 😋 🍛🍝

Massive portions, really filling. Attentive service. A bit pricy but that is offset but the size of the meal. Their empanadas are the best!

The location isn't great in Elephant & Castle. It feels insecure, as it's underneath the line trains on a street that's sketchy. Parking could be challenging for the same reason and also many other shops around there. Inside, decoration is Latinamerican which is something I liked since I'm Latino. There are many tables, and it seems the place serves as a dance club on the weekends too. There are loudspeakers on the walls, and light system which makes me believe there could be live music too. Now, to the most important part. I wanted to visit because I was craving for authentic Latinamerican food. I've had Colombian food before and it was way much better and much cheaper. Arepas in this place are disappointing, you can see the arepa and pork belly in one picture. Presentation was awful, it seems like a big chunk of dry pork meat on top of a thick dry tortilla. And the taste wasn't excellent either. The menu describes this dish as "arepa WITH pork pelly", but you get something very different. My dish (the second picture) was better because of the beans, which was tasteful. It was PRICY, indeed. Coffee was very good, but this was the opposite in portion. It was served in a cup of tea. Not worth the money. However, service was very attentive and polite. Toilets are upstairs, they're mixed toilets so it's a bit weird. There are 4 cabins with thin walls: 2 for women, 2 for men.

Great little find before our theatre trip, friendly service and good atmosphere. Food portions are LARGE hence the prices, loved the cheesy columbian TV soap drama on in the back ground 😋 All in all we will definitely return

Real good Colombian food. Dishes were large hence why the prices were more than expensive than I thought

Good place and very tasty food however, too pricey for what you get. In comparison with same sort of restaurants around you’ll get pretty much the same for less expensive.
