    📝 Good tex mex place in Medellin with quick and efficient service. 🍴 My food was very good, I ordered chicken tacos and they were tasty. Also these tacos were hard/crunchy and not the soft ones. 📍 It's located in the Provenza area of El Poblado, a street with bar after bar, restaurant after restaurant. It's a safe, albeit very touristic area. The atmosphere in the restaurant is kind of party-like with high volume music and a nice looking bar at the entrance. You can seat both inside or outside.

    Absolutely loved this place. So much so, I went back 3 times during my stay. Food was excellent! Nice staff and great atmosphere. I'll definitely visit again on my next trip. Highly recommend 👌🏾

    Asked for medium steak, came out blue/rare and cold. According to the waitstaff that’s medium. Took it back after I stabbed my finger in the middle and said it was cold. Received two pieces of gristle for my complaints. Would recommend spectacles for the waitstaff and cooking lessons for the chef.

    Had the shrimp taco as a snack. Really enjoyed it. That, a beer and a coke was about 42 mil. A bit expensive but, hey. It's in the upscale area. Service was fast, staff friendly. Would eat there again.

    The Gato was recommended to me, I figured why not try it, the appetizers were pretty good. The chaufa with chicken and beef was mediocre, the burger was pretty good, and beers of course was good. I like that is a lively area, so the surrounding atmosphere is great.

    (Translated by Google) The atmosphere of the place is great, the attention from Daniela perfect. The appetizer of the very rich prawn patty, the seafood curry and the salmon with gum and ginger could not be better. Very rich and good portion. The good cocktails and that chocolate cake with that homemade arequipe sauce to die for. I will be back. (Original) El ambiente del lugar es genial, la atención por parte de Daniela perfecta. La entrada de empanada de langostinos muy rica, el curry de mariscos y el salmón al chicle y jengibre no pudieron estar mejor. Muy rico y buena porción. Los cócteles buenos y esa torta de chocolate con esa salsa de arequipe casera pa morirse. Volveré.

    Excellent service from our waiter. Fantastic presentation with the cocktails. We opted for the (virtually zero) sodas with fruits. Plenty of Peruvian plates and Asian selections. I had the pescado a lo macho and my wife had the grilled Chili Ginger Salmon. Reasonable prices and great outdoor seating since they closed this street for pedestrians only now! Great 😃👍 idea by the city of Medellín.

    Good cocktails, clean bathrooms, good service. This area has lots of options to choose from but this was a nice choice. The empanadas were a great snack and you get to people and dog watch if you seat outside.

    Made reservations on a Saturday afternoon for Saturday evening and the process was seamless. When we arrived, they gave us a great table next to the DJ. Although we were close to DJ, the volume of music at the restaurant wasn’t too loud and we really enjoyed the ambiance. Our waitress was great and able to make lots of good recommendations from the Peruvian menu. We shared three plates (noodle, rice and tacos) and they were all decent. In fact, the portions were a bit too much for three hungry people. Great spot for people watching, a good vibe and a nice meal before going out on a weekend.

    They have a lovely ambiance, play a great selection of music. Also, the large variety of meals, drinks, cocktails, etc. The "palmitos dinamita" are a must-try!!! Their peruvian is actually pretty good. They have very good service and they don't take long to bring your orders. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a nice evening in Provenza. I love this place so much I've lost count of how many times I've been (as you can tell from all the pictures!!!)

    Great place for seafood and pasta. One of the best places in Medellin I've tried. Location and atmosphere is great but the music is a little loud for my taste.

  • 5/5 Christopher S. 2 years ago on Google
    My massage therapist earlier in the day recommended this location. It is a great place. Our server Yhosman was amazing. He spoke wonderful English and very personable. The location was really very scenic. Food was as expect, amazing and flavorful. Will be back next time we visit Medellín.

    (Translated by Google) The food is excellent, EXCELLENT. There are many restaurants on that street, but this one stands out. It has a varied menu but without exaggerating in terms of the number of options. The chicharrón ceviche and the jack Daniel's burger, ESTELARES. Excellent atention. The place is very nice, they have a table there on the second floor with a patio with a little garden there that is perfect for couples. (I saw it late and didn't ask to get in there but I should have). BRUTAL. Very good service. Zero complaints. I'll come back. It is going to the landline. (Original) La comida es excelente, EXCELENTE. Hay muchos restaurantes en esa calle, pero este destaca. Tiene un menú variado pero sin exagerar en cuanto a número de opciones. El ceviche de chicharrón y la hamburguesa jack Daniel's, ESTELARES. Muy buena atención. El local es muy agradable, tienen una mesa ahí en el segundo piso con un patio con un jardíncito ahí que está perfecto para ir en pareja. (lo vi tarde y no pedí meterme ahí pero debi hacerlo). BRUTAL. La atención muy buena. Cero quejas. Voy a volver. Es ir a la fija.

    Variety of interestimg food items and good drnks at fairly reasonable prices in Provenza. Really nice atmosphere and good service. Very large portions.

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 1 year ago on Google
    I walked the streets in this area for a little while, and this place stick out for the cleanliness and "cool vibes" factor. The food was phenomenal and the service was top notch. I was only here solo, but I saw a few large groups and I didn't feel either of us were forgotten about and everything was great!

  • 5/5 Ewelina K. 1 year ago on Google
    This was a very good food experience. Very tasty and fresh food. Great big portions and taste like from original countries. I will definitely be back here again. Place a bit dark for my liking but very good staff and adequate prices.

  • 4/5 Anaïs S. 1 year ago on Google
    When here for drinks, they have a huge selection. Overall the drinks were good, tasty. The wait was long though, and some drinks were made at our table which was weird and uncomfortable, especially when there are only two ingredients in it, I don’t want to see the waiter open a bottle of tonic and pour it on some gin, I could have done this myself. Good selection of meals to, we only add some entradas to share, but vegetarian options were limited.

  • 5/5 H S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was definitely the best food I’ve eaten on my trip to Columbia. Every bite of every dish I ordered was divine. Salmon Tartar and Ceviche de Camaron were SO fresh and yummy! Empanadas Mixtas carne y langos were crispy and delicious . Aros con Masticos estilo Peruano was just WOW WOW WOW Such an amazing delicious menu!

  • 4/5 Abby S. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the service! Fabio was great and fun. The drinks were unique and both drinks we ordered came with nice presentation. The food was not bad, but this place is more for the vibes than the food. Overall it was nice!

  • 5/5 Jennifer G. 4 months ago on Google
    The food was so good! This was the third restaurant we ate at since arriving to Medellin and so far has been the best. Seafood tasted fresh and my partner really liked the beef empanadas . The dynamite shrimp appetizer is yummy and so is their salmon is yellow sauce (?) bc it came w calamari and shrimp too!

  • 5/5 Edgardo E. 6 months ago on Google
    The best gastrobar in Provenza. We absolutely loved it…. the food was delicious. The drinks .. the staff. We definitely recommend it. We went a couple of times just to taste the delicious food. It’s also affordable. For a restaurant like this in my country I’d paid way more..

  • 3/5 Ivan F. 5 months ago on Google
    This place has many food options, it can get very pricy so watch what you order. Also FYI they charge for siracha and the house hot sauce. So if you see an additional charge of five dollars for 2 , 1 ounce portions of hot sauce. Don’t be surprised lol. The food looks really good but no taste at all. Salt and pepper can make a big difference. The biggest flavor I got was the smoky taste from the wok on my pad Thai noodles. FYI the Pad Thai plate has no sauce, dry noodles lol. The seafood pasta had no flavor and chewy but great presentation. The surf and turf was even more bland looks like they just microwaved are steak for 15 seconds. We still ate everything knowing we was gonna have to pay 85$ for the meal.

  • 5/5 Jackie G. 5 years ago on Google
    Awesome food and great service! The shrimp quesadilla was the best and the lomo saltado tacos were a great match for it! Good drinks good ambiance and the only thing is I was outside and thought I was being eaten by mosquitos but that’s not their fault. They also closed up the roof when it started sprinkling on us. Love this spot!
