The Scene
Soft green and mustard panels contrast with rough brick walls at this simple, casual Colombian restaurant. Laid-back couples linger at tables in the bi-level dining room, where tasteful art hangs side-by-side with Latin tchotchkes, and the ceiling is painted a convincing copper.

The Food
Classic, reasonably priced Latin American dishes shine at this place. Empanadas are hot, crispy and stuffed with beef or spinach and mushrooms, and chicken tamales are moist and meaty. Black bean soup is a big, hearty bowl, and bacon-wrapped shrimp is another succulent starter--two shrimp perched atop sweet corn cake and drizzled with red pepper aioli. Can't decide between the grilled churrasco (New York strip), chicken breast or shrimp? Order the Plato Mixto and you'll get all three, plus sweet fried plantains and corn salsa. Creamy flan bathes in a light blackberry sauce instead of the usual caramel, giving this classic dessert a delicious twist.
