"Very affordable restaurant with almost perfect ajiaco.
As i understand how many restaurants working in the Colombia - you came in, pick the table. Waiter taking you order, bring food, bill and bill would be paid at the cashier.
The place - one large room, one smaller room. Open kitchen. You literally can watch how your food preparing.
The does not offering any coffee options, tho."
