Good but overpriced for what you're getting in terms of portions. Attentive waiters but the kind that make you feel weird if you order less than the usual clientele, not in a rude way by any means. Ambience is locals energy-- a nice go to.

Came here for a date. Enjoyed the friendliness of the staff. Very welcoming and warm. Loved that the environment was catered for dates, friends, family. Overall a great, non judgmental, and super queer space. Empanadas and salad were great. And so were the drinks. Thank you for everything

Friends and I stopped in for their new sunday brunch. The restaurant itself is small and cute, with a nice little outdoor seating area. (I also love the bathroom theme) We had coffee, margaritas, the Huevos Pericos (columbian eggs) Arepita, fries, and the slab bacon. The drinks were spot on, and coffe fresh. We all really enjoyed the Heuvos Pericos Arepitas! A large pillowly arepa topped with a tower of soft scrambled eggs made with tomato and scallion. The ingredients were fresh and it tasted homecooked. The slab bacon had good flavor, but was a bit too thick and chewy for our preferences. The fries were thin, salty, and crispy, what a fry should be. Additionally, our server was friendly and prompt.

I've been coming here for a few months now and I normally don't write reviews for places but I just HAD to for Maite! First of all, the decor ambiance is so fun--they're always playing great music and all of the decor on the walls is queer-themed and so cool. The staff is super nice. I've never been when they're really busy but whenever I am there the service is always prompt and friendly. Ok, now on to the reason I'm writing this review. All the food I've tried here has been great, but the Burrata Negra dish is astonishingly good. I've never had anything like it and I go back every couple of months just to eat this one thing. I think about it constantly. I believe it's priced at $18 at the time of this review and it is SO worth it. The squid ink sauce is so deep and flavorful and an incredible compliment to the quality burrata nested in the middle. The focaccia they serve it with is always warm and chewy and smoky from the grill and like dripping with delicious olive oil. It's a peak food experience and it feels so well balanced and just perfect! You haveee to try it if you go. The drink menu is also great! I'm always happy with the drinks here.

This woman owned Colombian European restaurant has mismatched furniture and raunchy photos all over. This has been one of the best meals I had in a while. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food: Olives Pork belly (Chicarron) with a fluffy arepa and a spicy sauce Dry Aged burger with cheddar and aioli (well seasoned and melts in your mouth) Yucca fries ( slightly crispy exterior and tender inside) Chipperbec French fries Lamb Loin chops with shallots (tender, juicy and flavorful) Bushlicker (mezcal, aloe liqueur and passionfruit) Orange wine Flourless chocolate cake with arequipe [dulce de leche] (Perfectly smooth sweet and salty) Come check this place out and tell them I sent you. You won't regret it. Glad to have stopped by for this wonderful dinner. This place is also LQBT friendly. Follow my food Instagram:eatingwithetienne

So many years later, we still LOVE coming here! The food is consistently stellar as well as the service. The female chef (Ella I think?) is . Her food is made with passion and it shows. Peter and Cody are always fabulous to sit with at the bar. We love to chat with them and sip on their perfectly crafted cocktails. Don't sleep on the lamb. It's sinfully good!

This place is awesome, casual yet attentive service and laid back semi-scandalous decor create just the right vibe in this cozy corner restaurant. They do ask that you put in your full order so they can time it for you which sometimes turns out to be a disaster of waiting too long or being rushed through courses, but it was perfectly timed. Here's what we ordered: Burrata & Squid Ink - striking to the eye and the palate. A fluffy cloud of burrata floats in a sea of black as dark as my soul. The sauce appears to be thick and heavy but it's incredibly light and creamy on the tongue. I didn't get a pic of the bread that comes on the side but it was hot, steamy perfection. Scallops and trumpet mushrooms - really great portion for the price, the mushrooms are thinly shaved and soak up all of the buttery goodness, total flavor bomb. Asparagus & Ricotta - well executed and tasty version of a classic dish. Burger - two options to order for temp, pink or cooked through, we opted for pink. Burger was good but not great, only thing it was missing was a nice char, texturally between the bun and burger it just felt too uniform and soft. Still a good burger. Yucca fries- had no business being as crunchy and satisfying as they were. 100% will crave these and come back for a glass of wine and these bad boys. Check this place out, it was really good :)
