Absolutely great experience! I have been fortunate enough to discover this hidden gem of Takapuna.
This was my second time at the restaurant with my close family and friends. As soon as we entered, there was a really warm welcome by the host, he guided us to the table on the backyard from where we could pretty much see the whole restaurant and enjoy the ambience. Fairy lights, colombian music and great food with nice presentation makes this eatery a perfect place for ''cozy date'' and special occasions dinner. I am sure you will definitely be able to impress your date.
One of my many highlights of the dinner was the fresh juices that they have got from Colombia - OMG Guava and Lulo fruit juices. I have never had this kind of juice that is light n tasty but also an amazing addition to the food menu. The sauces are yummiest and made fresh on site.
As you can see I am highly impressed by the place, this will be one of my go to places in Takas for sure.
I feel so lucky to have found this place! It's meat heaven! I tried the short ribs and the meat platter which consisted of beef knuckle, pork, chorizo and black pudding sausage! The flavours were rich and the meat was melting in my mouth! I was really surprised I loved the black pudding! So creamy and flavoursome! Will definitely go back again!
If you want steak everyday,this is the place to be. Their steak & sides are superb. Also, their staff are very accomodating as well. You can’t go wrong dining here.
Nice atmosphere and good food. Would recommend.
If you are looking for Colombia's cuisine you'll find it here. Finger lickin good and very warm staff
One of me and my partners favs. I generally always order the vegetarian dish with plantain chips because its so damn delicious.
Delightful service and tasty food!
Had the pleasure of dining here with my companion last night. Was pretty packed when we walked in. We were seated outside which was fine as it's been hot a lot lately. For entree, we had the Beef empanadas and the chorizo paired with Aji casero salsa & Salsa criolla. The empanadas were meaty, had a bit of spice to it and full of flavors. The chorizo had an amazing smokey flavor and just the right amount of spice you expect in a chorizo. It was just enough amount to settle your stomach til the mains.
For mains, we ordered the Pechuga Asada which is the charcoal boneless chicken accompanied with a garden salad and Arepa - corn bread cooked on the grill. The chicken was cooked beautifully. The taste of charcoal came thru with the spices they marinated the meat in. The corn bread I found was very dense, in a good way. I loved it! My partner on the hand ordered a T-bone steak cooked well done. He was raving on about how fantastically juicy his steak is and his only regret is that he should've ordered the Tomahawk lol. So that must be a sign that we will be coming back. The lady who greeted us was friendly and attentive but that also extends out to the waiters and waitresses. Overall, we both had an amazing night and will definitely come back for more!
I would give this place 6 stars if possible. Just amazing.
Service 10/10

Ambience 10/10
Great colombian food. Simple and meaty. The Costilla beef ribs where tender and just fell apart. Empanadas were fantastic as well with a nice spicy sauce. Arepa flatbreads and dips were really tasty as well and not to be missed. We will be back!
Good steak good service. Love this place.
Have been here a few times already. The best steak I’ve ever tasted. They pack so much flavour in with the marinade and sauces. I ordered the Empanadas and my partner got the Tomihawk which was 950g worth of steak. It did take a while (30-40mins) because if the size of the steak. It was worth the wait
Went here for a small work dinner, and all of us enjoyed our meals. I had the T Bone, and it was lovely and tender.
Most mains are BBQ meat, but that is what we were after.
My starter was that pork belly, which was a little dry, but the skewers that one of the others had were very nice.
Super awesome dining experience, esp if you're sitting in front of the bar. The chefs obviously have top-notch grilling skills as our steaks (Tbone and sirloin) came out perfectly medium well. The ambiance of the place is also great, truly feels like in Colombia!
Also they fill up pretty quickly so will be good to reserve beforehand.
The beef short ribs were amazing, very tender and falling off the bone
Tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection
Empanada and chicharon were great entrees
It was my third time here and I loved it just like the previous ones. The food was amazing, but it did have a longer wait than last time. I had the chicken and it was just perfect. It was juicy and well seasoned. The staff was friendly and polite. I would recommend calling to make a booking because he space is a bit small and it's always full
Thankfully my favorite Colombian food is on the cheaper end of this menu because it’s very expensive. The chicharron and yuca frita were so good! My Portuguese friend who tried it for the first time also loved it.
Sadly, we got Colombian this day to support the women’s team in the World Cup but they did not move forward 😿
That was really delicious and busy. you need to booking.mojito very authentic taste
It is a lovely restaurant owned by an amazing family. The food was delicious and the staff were all very friendly. Great atmosphere and location. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Alejandro and Tatiana!
The food was amazing. Excellent presentation of meals and dishes. The Humero Experience is superb and strongly recommended if going in groups.
It is not very often that you come across a place that cooks a perfect steak the way these guys do. I will go back time and time again! Always order something different every time and always love it!
This restaurant has been on my list for a while , I finally got to try it & I wasn't disappointed, the short beef ribs were melting in the mouth , service was great ,staff were friendly, the only down side was the seating ,a bit uncomfortable for the back but will deffinitly go back again
