Popped in here for a quick lunch and was very happy with the service and the food! Clean little place on the south side of town. Staff was very pleasant and the food was great! Ended up getting my favorite of carne asada burrito and some lemonade. Definitely recommend!

I have lived in the South Springs awhile now, and I can’t believe we just stumbled upon this place. The food was amazing, and the staff was friendly, not overly interactive but very respectful. We will definitely be back!

Service and atmosphere was fine, restaurant was fairly clean. No problems other than the food, which had no taste whatsoever (and neither did any of their sauces). Not expensive but not flavorful at all… maybe they just forgot to salt or season our meal? Won’t be going back for a while, sorry guys.

This is a nice change to your traditions “spanish” food as they serve Mexican and Venezuelan dishes. The agua frescas are a must. Overall plate presentation and flavor of the food exceeded my expectations. The homemade salsa is not your typical style but with 4 options to try one will fit your heat level. Will definitely return on my next visit to this area.

Some of the best latino food in the city, mostly Venezuelan and Mexican food.

I ordered food from grubhub. Not only was my order wrong, it was $71 dollars for two burritos, a tiny side of beans, a churro and a tiny container of flan, which was suppose to be fried ice cream. The food was cold and made my family and I sick. I was over charged for terrible sub par food. I don’t recommend ever eating here.

This is a wonderful opportunity for authentic food. There is a bit of a wait for you food but everything is made fresh and comes out hot I had the Pabellon/Venezuelan dish. It was soo flavorful and the salsas they make are wonderful to top your food with. I will be coming back to this hidden gem.

The empanada made me dance. Everything arrived hot and the order complete. Price for the amount of food was great. My SO from California said these were some of the most authentic flavors he’s found in Colorado Springs. Definitely on the top of our list of cheat meals.
