So good!! I've only recently tried Venezuelan food and this was the closest I could find in Québec City. I'm glad I tried it! The way the plantains are prepared is incredible. I had a vegetarian arepa and the sauces were exsquisite. I would definitely recommend trying them!

We viisted this place on a Sunday afternoon. This was our first time trying Colombian food. We ordered the vegetarian arepa and the picada colombiana-with chicken instead of beef. The place is pretty small and fills up very quickly. We arrived luckily when tables were still available but they got filled and there were 3 families waiting by the time we finished eating. They have two menus, in Spanish and in French. The food is quite healthy and filling I would say. The staff are really friendly, checking with us multiple times if we are enjoying our food. The green sauce was amazingly fresh. The red sauce was quite spicy for our taste. The mango juice was okay. The only problem was the very loud music in the kitchen and the heat inside the restaurant for me. I enjoyed trying something new.

If your looking for latin food, this is definitely the top place to go. Small place with huge plates. Customer service was great! I cannot say enough about how good the food was. You won't regret coming here. I'd say the top place to eat in the Quebec. I tried coming again on my trip but being New Year's holiday the hours didn't align with my schedule.
