I ordered two ajiacos santafereños. They were good but I founded cords on Nylon in my plate. In addition, if you want to enjoy the food in a tranquil place here admits dogs, so at least in my case, all time I had to listen dogs all time. I won’t come here again. The price is not well deserved if you want to eat rounded of noisy dogs and finding cords in the food.

What a delightful restaurant to visit and dine at in the heart of downtown Bogotá! While getting there can be a bit hectic, stepping inside instantly transports you to a different, vibrant vibe. The space is impeccably maintained and exudes a chic, historic charm. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, greeting us with genuine smiles and attentive service. We ordered a few breakfast dishes, and every single one was delicious. I had the best calentado of my life—rich, deeply flavorful, and with a perfect texture. I never knew it could taste that amazing; it reminded me of a really good dirty rice, but with its own unique twist. The prices were very reasonable considering the quality of the food and the overall experience. Plus, the stylish decor made it a fun spot to snap some great photos and videos. If you're visiting Bogotá, this place is an absolute must-try!

As suggested ordered a chicken leg set. The check leg cooks very tender and easy fall apart in your mouth, tasty good . I asked for less rice, and I don’t eat the banana and potato, the rest like corn, all good. The cherry lemonade is a bit sour, I like sweet, but just fine.

Went as part of fantastic True Colombian Experience food tour in La Candelaria . Delicious ajiaco, and no wait (unlike Puerta Falsa 2 doors down).🤤 Wonderful tour guide Milena.
