Omg.... this place is A-MAZ-ING !!!! A group of us had just eaten at the Columbian restaurant Hello Chicken nearby when our waitress told us this bakery was owned by the same people. I bought a round pastry that had guava, cream cheese and caramel inside. The outside was so flakey and dusted in sugar. Next time I have visitors, I'm getting these for breakfast danishes. I bought the alfajores. They are like 2 soft sugar cookies with Carmel between. The Carmel is to die for. It has a slight milky taste and not quite as sweet as the Carmel I'm used to. The macaroons were a tad bit disappointing. They tasted nice but we're a bit cold as if they had been slightly frozen. They gave us a sample of some round bread and again, OMG, this bread was amazing. Seriously, someone knows what they are doing here. Will definitely be back !

Pretty good Colombia food. Our favorites were their empanadas and the cheesy bread. Fresh and super authentic.y. My main entree was the bandeja pais because I wanted to try a little of everything. I loved the rice and beans. The carne asada was also good but I didn't care for the chorizo or the fried pork. Also had the fresh passion fruit juice and loved it. It's not overly sweet and separated naturally so you know it's the trap stuff! Loved that! If I went back I think I would stick to the empanadas and cheesy bread.

This is a great bakery. It had a restaurant too but we didn't look at that. The maracuya tres leches was the best tres leches EVER!! It had the maracuya drizzle on top that was just a little tart and perfect!!! Loved it. Also tried the guava pastry but the jam in it didn't really taste like guava. The soursop mousse was interesting, I thought it tasted like custard apple!

So my after lots of Love Week fun with my church, my incredible bestie {who's Colombian} took me to one of her favorite Colombian restaurants. I love when she and I can drive around the city, serve all day and be foodies!
When I walked in the restaurant they have lots of decorations celebrating the Colombian team during the soccer World Cup. This truly warmed my heart to see the restaurant supporting their country. Then we sat down and the server gave us two menus. One with the lunch specials and a regular one. I liked that she immediacy spoke Spanish to me. Because although my Spanish is VERY minimal I'm still working VERY hard to learn Spanish. It's going to come one day lol.
My best friend suggested I pick something from the $6.95 lunch menu. So I followed the pro and ordered myself the chicken plate with fries, rice, beets salad and vegetable soup! Yes you get ALL OF THAT FOR $6.95 lol. Then she ordered the friend fish with fried plantains, beets salad and fish soup. The Friday selection on the lunch specials menu offers three different styles of Colombian lunches.
But listen... my vegetable soup... BANGING! I will go back and order that in a pot style if I can lol. It was sooooo good! It made up for how small my chicken breast was. I wasn't too happy about that. My lunch plate had a half piece of chicken breast that was super thin. Then looking at my besties plate and she had two pieces of nicely cut fish. Thankfully she's amazing and shared her fish with me lol. Oh and she ordered us some empanadas which were very yummy and I love the green sauce they gave us too! Other than my small chicken breast I truly enjoyed my first experience eating at Las America's and my first Colombian restaurant! -

I found this place off the beaten path. Went in had lunch. I've been to Columbia. If you want some authentic Colombian food you must try this. The flan is amazing
