Description
This Brooklyn storefront brings Colombian comfort food to the neighborhood, serving up rich flavors alongside a few local quirks. Beyond the comforting caldo de costilla, the kitchen turns out a popular bandeja paisa with crispy chicharron, seasoned rice, and savory carne empanadas that have earned a local following. If you're stopping by the bakery counter, the iced coffee is a standout, though baked goods like the guava-filled mojicón can occasionally be hit-or-miss on freshness. The interior is cozy with limited space to wait, and the service is known for being strict with substitutions, so it’s best to enjoy their traditional plates exactly as they are prepared.
