The best restaurant I've gone to in the United States if you've got an allergy or dietary restriction hands down! I was looking for a celiac friendly restaurant to take someone to, and it was recommended as not being far from the Brooklyn Museum, where we were coming from. Needed many gluten-free options with low risk of cross contamination. Asked the host. She smiled and went on and on about how they've got a separate prep area, fryalaters, etc. showed me the menu with dietary restrictions clearly spelled out. The kid went gaga with the menu. Such hungry eyes as he isn't used to having so many choices. We ordered: virgin Pina colada, tortilla soup, ropa vieja, chicken Empanada, maduros, chicken encrusted with plantain with mango bbq sauce, and chips with guacamole. Green plantains. Pina colada was made without a mix. Shared with the kid. He loved it!!! My wife loved the soup. The kid didn't care for it as he's used to an Americanized Mexican version. Columbian is quite different. More leftovers for her! HUGE portion for $11. Consider it a meal in itself. My wife loved the ropa vieja but barely made a dent. Kid tried it. Empanada was a huge hit with the kid, as were the plantains and guacamole. We all shared it, and I fought for the guacamole. So good! Chips didn't seem like they were made on premises but were fine. My wife and I enjoyed the chicken. Only finished half. Two huge slices of chicken. Took home half. Had to ask for more sauce. Staff kept our drinks topped off. Picked up things the kid dropped several times. Very careful with dietary restrictions and knew all recipes immediately when asked. Host had already made server and kitchen aware. Extremely affordable for nyc for authentic Columbian cuisine. This kid is begging his parents to return! Got GF needs? Come here. Want great Columbian food? You've found it. The entire bill came to around $80.

The one server was efficiently busy. Wanted something cold. Highly recommend the salted caramel and chocolate shake with a beautiful whipped cream topping. My granddaughter knows the place, great burgers too, though she got the gluten-free popcorn chicken and a small order of fries that we shared and still had some left to take home in a box. Very satisfying all around!

I had my birthday brunch here this past weekend. Miro helped plan a prefixe menu for my group of 15 guests that accommodated for omnivore, gluten free, and vegetarian diets, as well as a shrimp allergy. I was in touch with him several times in the month leading up to my event as my guests confirmed or cancelled their reservations and as new dietary needs came up even up until the several days before our reservation. I was so grateful for Miro’s clear and timely communication throughout, as well as for all the accommodations he was able to make for us. The food was awesome on the day of the event — in particular we loved the five spice fried chicken and waffle dish, the spicy noodle stir fry, the imperial rolls, and the slow cooked lamb buns. We also got the papaya salad, and coconut french toast, which were also delicious. For my gluten free guests, they made gluten free vietnamese crepe. 💕 My group was extremely well fed, the backyard ambience was relaxed and leisurely, and service was great. Price was $50 per person, not including drinks — for the quality of the food and the fantastic service, this was absolutely worth it. I had a fabulous birthday here, and I’m so happy with how it turned out! Thank you again to Miro and the service staff day of for making my birthday brunch so wonderful 💖
