Amazing Cuban sandwich from a humble bodega-type store, love it so much. Be sure to call ahead or be prepared to wait as it takes a bit to make. It’s also on the pricey side, but it’s well worth it.

It took a bit to get our food, but it’s understandable because of the pandemic. When we did receive it though, it was fresh and delicious! I got a Shack Stack (a cheeseburger and mushroom burger stacked) and I can fully recommend it. It’s not that indulgent thanks to Shake Shack’s thin (yet amazing) patty, light and airy bun, and the cheese inside of the mushroom isn’t that overwhelming. They got it right! I also had it with cheese fries - gotta say I’m not normally a fan of crinkle-cut fries but these were crunchy and fresh with a great taste. I ordered the Christmas Cookie Shake to go along with everything and it was pretty good. Just a sweet vanilla shake, that’s all.

We had a nice time here overall. We almost couldn't come in because reservations were needed during the pandemic and we didn't know - so call ahead. The hostess was kind enough to sit us though. She also brought us a few pieces of coconut brittle - and it was so good that we bought some to take home. Our entire table (5 of us) ordered 3 fried fish dishes. The portions were huge (granted, at $30 per dish for a small, homey restaurant - they should be huge). It was enough to feed another 2 or 3 people. Each dish had about 1.5 huge fishes and we packed up exactly a plates' worth. As Colombians ourselves - the food reminded us of what we would have. It was delicious, but nothing special. Come expecting a home cooked meal and humble hospitality, complete with scratched and chipped walls and out-of-place table cloths with dressed chairs, and you'll be satisfied.
