Typical authentic Colombian dishes here (or at least occasional Colombian takes on dishes that are Peruvian or Ecuadorian like cerviche). Delish & fun environment, but more pricey that it should be.

The bull dog drinks will get you there on the first glass :) . This is Columbia fan support central. If there's a soccer game involving them- this is the place to be. Food is average.

Great food, fun if loud atmosphere. We were there during a soccer final so it was crazy, but we didn't mind once the food came!

Try the Bandeja Paisa (they call it Bandeja el Basurero). But before that make sure you are very very hungry.

Strong mojitos(coming from. Whiskey guy)....the ultimate mojito is epic and smells of Leblon Beach...love it..OJE

I used to go there when they first opened. I have had better Colombian food, but it is a very chill spot to hang and drink at the bar.

Don't expect any service at all if you are not Latino. I don't leave remarks like this lightly, this is the 3rd time I've been in this place and it was always very clear that i was not wanted.
Aida Paulo-MolinaMay 27, 2014
The place was empty and it took them forever to bring out our food. Had to look for the waitress to pay because she disappeared. Wasn't impressed.
Avi GFebruary 12, 2010
Large portions but they sing happy birthday too many times per visit for my liking. But if your in the area its a good experience.
Kate ChappellSeptember 14, 2013
Prepare for awful service if you are not hispanic. Waitress left my table in mid order to say hi to her friend. And didnt stop by our table once the food was delivered.

Please avoid this place. The service is horrendous terrible and horrible. It overpowers the food and drinks being ok.

Best food,drinks, reasonably priced
Jose NegronJuly 28, 2012
First waiter doesn't take my order. Secondly we never got our "free" empanaditas. I recommend not coming here in the afternoon. Horrible service.
Edith G.May 27, 2013
Sangria is good, everything else is over priced

ᴡ GuerreroAugust 7, 2011
el k no pida mazamorra es como si no hubiera comido, el basurero es un pedacito de Colombia en New York, recuerden Michel Guerrero Studios | Tu agencia publicitaria.
