"Una maravillosa sorpresa al venir por primera vez. El menú es basto y variado. La comida es excelente, desde entradas hasta los fuertes y las bebidas con o sin alcohol. La presentación es un detalle a resaltar, de la vista nace el amor. Y no se puede dejar de mencionar el servicio, amable, atento y siempre dispuesto a dar recomendaciones. Sin lugar a dudas volveré cuando pase por Mariquita. Pedimos la entrada de buñuelos con tocineta, una ronda de sodas saborizadas, los platos fuertes con cócteles de la casa."

"We were really excited to get a perfectly medium cooked steak, the fries were super crispy and the veggies were sautéed lovely. We also really enjoyed the mango lemonade, not too sweet! A nice change for traditional Colombian food, this was so much lighter. Thanks for the great service, they really helped us with their best English to get sorted."

"We were looking forward to eating here but the food sadly was a bit of a disappointment. The prices of the dishes are “upscale Colombian restaurant” prices. The presentation of the food was amazing but sadly the flavor was lacking. My girlfriend had the “RUINAS DE SANTA LUCÍA” eggplant dish. The eggplants were not many and the sauce it came with was sweet for some reason in a way that made the dish taste off. I had the “LA CRUZ” chicken dish. The description of the dish in the menu sounded really good but again, the sauce was lacking and did not even taste much like tomato’s and was a bit spicy. The chicken itself was ok enough but fried a bit too much. The place itself is very cute and the staff is amazing but the food was just not what we expected for the price it cost"
