Very busy but the food comes quickly and it’s fresh and tasty. I loved the fried fish 🐟 with rice, papas and a healthy salad 🥗- the coco limonada was a bit sweet for me but I loved trying it! The fresh juices are heavenly. Hats off to your staff - wonderful. Also great price

Espiritu Santo Place was packed full of a beautiful mix of locals and tourist and it was busy. In this big beautiful hall you find multiple proteins done many ways served with side plates of salad, rice and plantain! Filete Marinera is what I ordered and honestly my Spanish is awful and had no idea what I ordered. I thought it was fish and it would come with a tomato sauce! It was a white seafood sauce on top of a filet of white fish. Not my cup of tea but overall portions were big and price is good! Would recommend and will be trying again with a different order hahaha

This place is awesome - not fancy but also not expensive!! Two full meals and beers for $25 US. CASH ONLY - caught us by surprise but we scraped it together. Reminds me of a casual Meat and Three style restaurant in southern US.

A great local find for some lunch on a hot Sunday. Food and service were fantastic. The vegetarian plate and mixed meat plate were amazing. Hot and tasty.

We followed this recommendation based on our Lonely Planet guidebook and it was spot on! The food was excellent, with large portions. Service was quick, efficient and attentive all throughout a busy lunch service. Price was excellent for this great quality and value. Delicious authentic Colombian food, you can tell this is the real deal based on how many Colombians were there, the huge dining hall was full!
