    This joint is spot on. I stopped by while in the area and ordered some empanadas and a steak patacon. I have to tell hou that the Patacon was finger liking good and it came in a great size. Enough for a big guy like me. I mention this because I've ordered Patacon from others places and, they weren't as BIG. Very affordable prices and its made after you order.
    It also brings a side order of fries.
    The Empanadas could be meattie inside and with a bit more flavor
    I noticed they also have a food truck outside and, I believe it is for overnight service or to extend their coverage. I'm not from the area and I'm just guessing on this.
    Anyhow, if this is your kind of food, give em a try.

    Service is OK...they changed the prices on the menu so you can't tell how much the platters are now.( They definitely should fix that) but the food is good pretty good.
    I like the skirt steak and the red sauce and the garlic bread is pretty yummy... I wish they had more of a selection of sides.

    Why the 3 star score?
    I really liked the Ropa Vieja Arepa. It's a good size arepa. Definitely need 2 hands to hold. Nice & crisp filled with flavorful shredded beef.
    The problem is the 2 sauces that they provide in the seating area for your food. Hardly no flavor or heat. You have to have good sauce, I'm sorry. That would have definitely taken the food here to the next level. It's like watered down mayo. It also came with not so fresh lettuce on the side, and crappy tomato that was mushy when you bit into it.
    Also, I don't understand how I received cold hard fries when I was the first person to walk in at 4:00pm when they opened.

    Rare Ethnic Food 35

    I have been to many Columbian and Venezuelan restaurant but never come across a Latin BBQ restaurant. In it own BBQ way, this is unique to experience it.  You can fill your stomach under $10.  

    We have three dishes here. The De Carne Desmechada (Ropa Veja), Patacon, and the Pincho De Pollo. The Patacon is traditional dish of Columbia, the Patacon here is top with grilled chicken, Pork rinds. I say it is just ok. The reason I am here is to try their The De Carne Desmechada. They use two fried tostones with one on top and the other at bottom for a sandwich. The infill is Ropa veja which cook very well to accommodate the Latin style sandwich. Very tasty. We also have the Pincho with chicken kabab. It think it can use better seasoning.

    Overall experience is good. I definitely come back to try some other item in the menu.

    Why do people eat this greasy shit? It's been my 3rd time coming over here and it's still not good. I guess when you are  drunk your ok with eating garbage.
