I am just really getting familiar with Colombian cuisine and this is a great place to try it. This location is cute and easy to find because it's located on Washington Ave near the 7th street garage. Fatima was our host and she made sure we were well taken care of. To start, I got the passion fruit mojito and it was so delicious and potent, which I like. I chose the tostones with chicken app and the tostones was fresh and crispy with a type of shredded chicken salad on top. I was expecting something different with the chicken and while it wasn't terrible, it needed something to bring out the flavor. Some pickled onions on top might give it more life. For the entree, my friend ordered the grilled salmon and she loved it. I got the bandeja paisa that came with egg, different meats, rice and beans, avocado, and maduros. I thought it was delicious but the chicharron was my least favorite because it didn't taste like it was fresh. I was hoping for the fatty part to be melt in your mouth and it fell short from that.
