The food was delicious and the kids(age 21 months and 8 years old) loved their food as well. They both got steak and rice. My husband and i shared the Columbia salad as an appetizer. I got the pollo Manchego which was perfectly cooked and my husband got the palomilla. Both delicious- great atmosphere and great restaurant to bring kids.
