Service was really great, my partner & I noticed that it's been a while since we've gotten a really friendly server. She was great! The place it nice & spacious. I really love the display of plantain by the kitchen. The food.. amazing. We really enjoyed everything, including the pink drink (postobon). Great experience. We will definitely visit often!

Les sandwich sont exquis! Le pain au maïs est chaud & moelleux, ils sont généreux & abordables, bref je ne peux que recommander. N'oubliez pas de commander un à-côté de délicieuses bananes plantains.

We came here during a group lunch at work & it was great. They have a lot of sandwich options (Arepas) to chose from, basically something for everyone. But that is basically all they do, nice to see a restaurant that knows their specialty & does it so well (there are also some plates to choose from). We were all very pleased with our choices & the prices are great as well. We were in a hurry, as you often are during a large work lunch, but this place was fast (we did all look at the menu in advance though & planned our orders). A very good option for a quick bite.
