    1905 salad, Cava sangria, ropa vieja, black bean cakes, and arroz con pollo were superb. Alfredo made the experience even more enjoyable. Lunch today was the highlight of my visit, and I look forward to my next trip back home to visit Columbia again. Until then, the cookbook will help me have a taste of home while living in a colder, less sunny climate.

    Great quality food and beverage choices for those who love the dining experience of sharing small plates. Our waitress was very helpful in guiding us on dishes to choose. The proper gin and tonic was a delicious choice as well as the red sangria that was fruity but not too sweet. For food, the meat and cheese combo was delicious, as was the ham croquettes and steak with a delicate mushroom foam sauce. Beware that the noise level can be very high and tables are crowded so if you are looking for a quiet place for conversation this may not be the best option, but we enjoyed our lively night out with friends.

    Excellent experience! We enjoyed outdoor dining on the patio with live jazz. The meals were delicious! We had the Lechón Asado, Picadillo Criollo, Eggplant Riojana, and a Cuban sandwich. Also had the churros for dessert. Wonderful!
