The food was absolutely delicious! I'm still dreaming about it. I had a plate called something "manantial" which came with delicious rice, beans, salad (loved It! It came with lime in it. So good), carne azada, chicken, pork chops, and a delicious sausage I'm still fantasizing about eating again. They give you a delicious smooth guacamole sauce that has a little bit of spice to it and a little bit of lime. I poured it on top of the rice and it was heavenly!

Superb array of options. Ranging from meats, to seafood, to chicken, all the way to authentic Colombian, Ecuadorian, & Uruguayian food, this place has the best assortment of dishes. They even had a classic of lamb chops with brocoli and mashed potatoes which was superb. In terms of drinks they have all kinds of smoothies ranging from tomato juice to orange juice to strawberry & blackberry juice. The prices are fairly on the more fancier side, but the food is abundant and can serve a partner of two, when asking for only one dish. Pretty convenient. The interior is quite spacious, with plenty of tables and seats followed by 5 hanging TVs inside the same room to watch entertainment while dining in. The tables are well kept and always clean, with a nice elegant blue and white cloth design. Overall, an excellent place to visit if you're even in the Queens, NY area.
