A warm and cozy atmosphere decorated with the feeling of Columbia. The owners were extremely friendly. We had the Special Platter and Beef Soup for entree and empanadas for appetizer. Everything was delicious. We were each offered a cup of Colombian coffee on the house, so good. A much try if you want to try an authentic taste of Columbia!!

The owners were amazing, and took time to explain the menu, and provide great suggestions. I felt like I was in Columbia and the food was tasty. I particularly loved the empanadas, and their home made spicy salsa. Can't wait to go again.

What a wonderful place! Cristina and Alex made everything with love, and you can notice that in their delicious food. For a moment, I felt like I was in Colombia again. The place is cozy and warm, and the dishes are fantastic, showcasing the real Colombian flavor. The Sancocho was great and reminded me of my mom’s cooking. I will definitely come back again. Thank you for everything! My husband and I had a really great time there. I totally recommend it!

A truly unique spot in Markham that stands out! Serving Colombian cuisine, this place serves as a community hot spot for regional South American food. The best recommendation I can give is any serving of meat along with toston - fried flattened plantain. The plantain is a great vehicle of the meat and remains crisp throughout the meal. The sweet plantains are also a great choice, along with the empanadas and the oat milk (Avena, I believe?). All the dishes are made with great love and attention - the whole place is run by a husband and wife duo who are very nice and sociable. If you're ever unfamiliar with the menu or how to eat the foods, they will be happy to chat with you. Always a great pleasure when I get to visit again!

Stumbled upon this tiny place in the plaza opposite Costco on Markham Rd. Entered it out of curiosity but was greeted and enveloped in the warm hospitality of the owner, Christina. She wasted no time in explaining to me in simple terms what the name of the restaurant meant and what the Colombian items on the menu were. Her husband looks after the kitchen and she more than looks after the customer. The food is super tasty and different. Well worth a try. We had the beef soup and the fried pork belly. These come with plantain done in different styles. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. Limited seating inside. Lots of parking. The place is traditionally decorated with items from the region in Colombia where the owners come from. I sure recommend this place for a different experience and will most certainly return to try some more items on the menu.

Love the decor. Family owned. Owner was helpful with explaining the menu and making suggestions. Nice for a change of palate. They will also accommodate your needs the best they can. I enjoyed the plantain, the avocado was fresh and I highly recommend their empanadas. Also, get a cup of Colombian coffee while you’re there.

This Colombian restaurant was amazingly well decorated. The owner of the restaurant serves us at above and beyond 5 star customer service level. They are super knowledgeable about the food they made and explained to you about each type of food delivered to the table, very patient and yet prompt in delivering the food to the table. The whole atmosphere takes you on a vacation mode. The music has added a super relaxed environment so you can really enjoy your time out for lunch or dinner. They are genuinely positively serving us all throughout the time of our stay. They even offered us a special Colombian coffee at no additional cost towards the end of our meal. They are the most wonderful genuine people who are more focused on customers rather than just about their business. They really cared about family values. There is absolutely nothing bad you could say about these wonderful people. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who love to be served at this highest level of respect and plus atmosphere of a true vacation feel restaurant. Hands down hats off to the owners of this restaurant. You are amazing what you do and your passion really showed in your restaurant experiences to us and the rest of the customers.

Why does it feel like I’m in Colombia for a vacation? Thank you Christine, Alexander, and Alejandro for the warm service. The food is so GREAT AND FRESH!!! Christine explained the whole menu for us and Alejandro offered a free coffee which is so kind. This is a family owned business and it’s really nice that the menu selection is small- you can tell they value their food quality. They deserve so much recognition.
