I'm going to be honest if you want to spend Friday night when you get out of work and you want to have a good time at night and enjoy the environment and karaoke night is so awesome, all the workers are so amazing personally and the owner she is the best. So I highly recommended

This place gives excellent service! They are consistent with amazing traditional Colombian meals. They make you feel at home every time. Very clean, kid friendly, great music. The owners are great and treat every customer with respect. I love this place. I was introduced to this place over 8 years ago and I can say they have always been spectacular!

We loved the service, the way they treated us, we had one or another Colombian food service, we had to go with the whole family, we ordered around 16 different meals including children's food, plus drinks. We ordered paisa trays, rice with chop, tender chicken, for the children we also ordered fries, we ordered 2 mojitos, 2 margaritas, 3 corona beers, juices for the children, apple juice, passion fruit juice. The attention of the people who attended them was very attentive and punctual, we made a reservation for Easter and they waited for us, our reservation was very well arranged, everything was very clean. we loved it everything very delicious.

I worked with the owner Tony to host a corporate happy hour and dinner here (15 people, perfect size). Tony was with me every step of the way, even accomodated last minute changes and helped me decorate for the event! The service and food were excellent, and everyone had a great time. The atmosphere is casual and fun, just what we needed. One of my favorite places in Hartford.
