As good as Latin food gets!!
If your feeling adventurous you MUST test the limits of your stomach and order the House special (steak, egg, pork, rice, beans, plantain, sausage, corn cake!!)..
Get ready for a big smile on your face, unbuttoning those jeans to make room, and the pending food coma afterward! Latin food bliss!!
I typically head to Elizabeth if I'm craving Colombian or Peruvian food; however, sometimes, it's just too far or way too busy. If you're around the Four Points area, I would recommend this place if you're craving Colombian food. The restaurant is small with probably six tables max. Free two hour public parking is available when you turn onto Bonnel Ct.–the parking lot will be on your left.
Empanadas ($1/ea): Someone mentioned that the empanadas here are full of potatoes. After trying one, I can confirm that there are indeed a lot of potatoes; however, there is shredded beef that's mixed in. Initially, I did not taste the beef, but towards the middle of the empanada, you'll find it. These were served fresh from the fryer and with a side of an addicting spicy salsa.
Bandeja Paisa ($14): Delicious. I can't say there is anything that distinctly separates the Bandeja Paisa here from other restaurants; however, I do think the chorizo is much more flavorful and that the steak is also slightly thicker than my go to place. I'm used to seeing the beans served in a separate bowl, but having it on the same plate was fine. The arepa was bland, but I don't think I've eaten an arepa I enjoyed yet.
Bistec Encebollado ($14): This was served on a sizzling plate, which was nice since few places I've been to so far serve it like this; there's a scoop of rice and a salad on the side. The beef was tender and the onions soaked up the rich and savory marinade used on the beef. I know some people will find it a wee-bit salty, but I did not find that to be the case. However, I'll leave that for others to judge.
Bistec a Caballo ($14): I've had this dish before at another restaurant, and can say for sure that the tomato and onion sauce is much more flavorful here. It is quite sweet, which I am not really fond of, but I still enjoyed the steak and onions with every bite. The meat was tender, but note that some of the fattier parts may be a little chewy. It is served with rice, a salad, three large fried plantain chips, and two fried eggs.
Mango Shake ($4): It's served in these cool handled mason jars. You could have it mixed with milk or water, but I recommend it with milk. It was made with real mangoes, so you can definitely taste it and the natural sweetness. I wish it was larger, though–I really liked it!
Overall, I would come back. The food was good, the service was great (the owners are friendly), and I don't really have any complaints. I noticed a lot of people coming here for coffee, so I might opt for some next time I stop by.
