What People Are Saying
from Google"It was my first time eating here and I’m glad I did. The lemonade and teas are delicious which can be included in a meal. The food was tasty and warm with a unique flavor. I absolutely loved the salsa it came with. Juan was very welcoming and had the best energy. I can’t wait to meet his wife."
"The staff is so nice and helpful if you have any questions on the menu. Food was so delicious and drinks were so refreshing. I’m so happy the valley, especially Brownsville, has something new to try out. Prices are fair too considering they order from Colombia and finding the ingredients in the RGV can be rare. 10/10 support your local Colombian coffee shop."
"I ordered four number one's aka the medellins(empanadas in beef,chicken or mushroom). With a iced salted caramel coffee sprinkled with cinnamon. I heard months ago that this place had great Colombian empanadas so I finally remembered and decided to pull the trigger and try them. The empanada itself was not to crunchy, but enough the flavor definitely was distinct and still tasteful]. Both types of empanadas were good, but if I just had nitpick the chicken ones seemed more flavorful. Although beef ones were soft they just seemed to lack seasoning. Coffee drink was delicious not overwhelming with a sweet flavor and little sprinkle of cinnamon was a nice touch. I want to go back and try something different. I can't say anything about the atmosphere since I did the drive through. The attendant who assisted me was very nice and social. I don't think that a little lack of flavor for my beef empanadas merits four stars. Food was fresh, well packaged and servings were good."
"Pretty good Colombian food, wish they had the whole full menu of their food. Coming from New York, I miss the diverse culture we have. I’m glad I found this and hope RGV brings more different types of food from other countries like Dominican & Puerto Rican, halal guys, Honduran, Salvadorian ect."
"Awesome place. My Frappuccino was delicious. The mushroom and potatoe empanada was out of this world. Michelle is very friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. Definitely a place you must try."
