The steak, chicken, blood sausages ... EVERYTHING was hot, tender and delicious!! It is a monthly must have!!
This is some of the best Columbian food I've had in Louisville it's very authentic and a cute hole in the wall on bardstown rd you would miss if you didn't know where to look. It's a very casual restaurant with not much seating you order at the front and the server will bring the food over to you. I can't wait to go back!
Classica Hamburger was bonkers good!. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will be back for sure.
This was my first time there and the chicken burger (minus the coleslaw )and fries were seasoned so well. The burger was big and the cheese was melted and the bun was also soft and warm. The dining room is spacious enough but cold They did have 1 table outside as well. You walk in and place your order. We were greeted when we entered. Our orders were all correct and hot!
We enjoyed a platter for 2, 2 cheese arepas, and a medallo burger. The platter is for 2 and it's a ton of food. Everything was delicious. The cheese arepa had garlic and seasoning, making it quite flavorful. The chorizo was firm and delicious, the blood sausage was not metallic at all and the pork belly was delicious. I hope they secure a building soon and are able to open a full restaurant, but there is some indoor seating.
The food was amazing and the service was great! I loved the outdoor area they had setup. Highly recommend!
