1905 salad, Cava sangria, ropa vieja, black bean cakes, and arroz con pollo were superb. Alfredo made the experience even more enjoyable. Lunch today was the highlight of my visit, and I look forward to my next trip back home to visit Columbia again. Until then, the cookbook will help me have a taste of home while living in a colder, less sunny climate.

Skirt steak was outstanding, as was the Boca Chocolate desert. Too much garlic butter on Mahi Mahi. Forgot to ask for salad dressing on the side and it was overdressed. Service was stellar + easy substitutions.

It was very busy, so it was a little loud for the older people in our group to be able to hear. However, very nice atmosphere and surroundings. Our overall experience was "good" based on the wait staff was good, but not exceptional. IE: the waitress spilled our over-filled drink on the table when she delivered it and didn't brink beverage napkin, we waited a too long for empty glasses or dishes to be cleared, etc. Not enough to deter us from coming back! The food was exceptional.
