Such an amazing experience. The staff was so knowledgeable about the menu which is basically all GF. They have a separate fryer and donuts!!! Get the short rib ravioli and thank me later. Just go.

Looked like it would be great but arrived at 10:30 on a Sunday AM and it was closed. The door said it would be open at that time. I called and got a fax tone. Oh, well…

The food was delicious. We had the beef and potato empanadas, carimañolas, waffle arepa de queso con pollo and buñuelos and coffee for dessert. The buñuelos were more on the sweet side than I would have liked but still delicious. Highly recommend this place.

This place is INCREDIBLE. I have eaten here twice in two weeks and been safe both times. They have a seasonal menu which is currently entirely gluten free naturally. Their fryer only has gluten free items cooked in it. The buñuelo donuts are part of the reason I can't stay away. They were also very good with my boyfriend's avocado allergy. I highly recommend.

Best meal I have had in a very long time! It’s about an hour from home for us but well worth the drive for sure. An added plus is that the staff was super friendly!

The menu is clearly marked as to what is GF and most items are naturally GF. I had a variety of items and had no reaction. Delicious Colombian food. Excited for this to become a regular take out spot for my family.

Review
Recently opened Columbian restaurant with a Le Cordon Blue-trained chef owner. The menu focuses heavily on Arepa, a dough made of ground maize that is gluten free. The food and service is outstanding and refreshingly different than anything else available in the area. Much of the ingredients are organic and locally sourced. Prices are very reasonable and the restaurant is expanding to add a bar. I seriously can't recommend this place enough.
