4.6 / 5.0(5,843 reviews)
So after a night of partying my wife and I wanted some soncocho to heal us. So we ordered from here because we are so close but let me tell you wow that was a mistake. The soup was so gross. The meat looking like they chopped up a random animal and put it in there. I’m a chef so I know my quality of food and this shit was not it. The meat was nasty and had arteries hanging off it. I’m a professional chef of 15 years and I have no idea what piece of meat this is. I used to come here six years ago but man this place has fallen. Please if you are sending deliveries how about you make sure that the food and presentation is a bit better than this. Hato Viejo came highly recommended, so maybe my expectations were a bit high. The food was decent—the red beans were the highlight—but overall it didn’t quite live up to the hype. Service was fine, and everything was just okay A decent spot. Excellent Bandeja Paisa, best thing is the cheese board they offer with a local berries sauce Service was excellent, fast and close atention without feeling pressing Amazing ambience, music is not too loud, lightning is natural and lovely

Ok place to stay in a city like Curvelo. I made a mistake by choosing a room next to the main road. It was very noisy. Good breakfast selection and I wish it was in air conditioned room. Curvelo is humid during February til April.

The highlight of my Medellín food experience. The service was poised and excellent and the food was perfect for our rainy afternoon bikepacking finale lunch. The man out front was polite and showed us where we could leave our bikes and the hosts politely gave us a table where we could watch them to keep them safe. We received some patacon and little fritas with salsa as an appetizer, which was a surprised. We ordered the Sancocho and the Tamale to eat plus a cocktail and a half jar of Refrasco to celebrate. The Sancocho is a very interactive meal, which I enjoy, and comes with an incredible amount of food. I will remember my Sancocho + Refrasco meal for a long time.
