Description
Sunday afternoons offer a quieter window to settle in for comforting plates of filling arepas and seasoned rice and beans. As the day winds down, the tempo shifts; by night, the space fills with dancing crowds and DJs after 7 PM. During major events like Colombia World Cup matches, the volume goes up alongside packed happy hours. The kitchen keeps pace quickly even for a spirited group celebration, though you should expect a longer wait for drinks like passion fruit sangria when the room hits capacity.
