This os overall one of The best places in Cali. I am a huge fan of octopus and I saw they had a wide variety of preparations. I had the grilled octopus that was very well cooked and I had the Causa (peruvian potato like cake) also with octopus and it was phenomenal. Service was very good. The place is very nice. A couple of things - they were out of two wines that appeared on the menu (sparkling) and the only choice was the most expensive one so we went for Rose that was fairly priced and good. Also, the plates (as in the ceramic structure) are fairly big regarding the size of the table. So with 4 main course plates and cups of wine, the table became kind of a Tetris pad. All in all - GREAT

This is an up beat and modern restaurant that is a welcome for its décor and atmosphere. It is a bit chichi (attempting stylish elegance but achieving only an over-elaborate pretentiousness) in the way most of these places tend to be as the staff tend to think that none of the clients have ever seen a wine list, which in this restaurant is extensive and well chosen. My comments about the chichiness of the place should not put you off going as the food is good. The seared octopus that I had was fine but I expected something better. It is clear that when in Cali do not order seafood as the meat dishes will be a great deal better. The selection of chesses was extremely good, well presented and at the right temperature. The restaurant is divided into three sections, an outside terrace, where the background noise of the river Cali can be heard, a main air conditioned room and a second floor area. The layout gives the impression of a more intimate restaurant The service was efficient and quick. The men's facilities are slightly cramped but that is of no consequence. Parking does not seem to be a problem as there seems to be spill over car park next to the restaurant. Although this is an expensive restaurant I do think that it offers good value for money, especially in a town like Cali. This restaurant is now top of my list when in Cali and I very much look forward to eating there in the future.Brian thank you for taking the time to write your comments. We greatly appreciate the feedback from our clients. We hope to serve you again soon. Best regards.

Just visited their new location... Primos is in the business since 1982 and they just opened one new location in santa monica, Cali. Their new location is modern and comfortable, it is open that you can enjoy the nice weather of Cali. We tried 3 different burgers and I should say mushroom and classic burgers was much better than aguacate burger. One think that I didn't like was their bun ( hamburger bread) wasn't good enough. Has to be improve...

We visited "Nuestro" with family and friends several times this past December, what a nice experience.The food was delicious and the service very attentive, ready to provide us with whatever we needed. We all tried different dishes and all were very good, the "pacific rolls" and "chontaduro empanadas" were full of flavor entree. And for main dish (we shared most of them) you may not miss the lamb nor the tuna dishes, they are delicious.A pleassure for your senses.

If you are in Cali, go here. There are three options (bbq rib meat, pork belly meat or falafel) and they come with garlic chips and onions, as well as some dips. 17,000 per portion. Really nice rooftop setting and a saxophone player turned up at the end. Beers 4,500-8000 depending on the brand. So delicious, great value and a really nice place to sit.

I very much enjoyed this place the first time I went and even more this time. A light touch with the service and ambiance. Decent jazz (no garbage lounge covers of pop songs, ugh!). The patatas bravas are done right and have a tasty, spicy sauce. We had a cajun prawn dish that was AWESOME, big prawns with a spicy sauce, tomatoes and basil rice that fit together beautifully. We also had a bass with lemon risotto that was delightful and a very robust steak dish with caramelized onion and radish purees. We were way too full for dessert. I highly recommend this place, which seems to be burying its competitors for fine dining in the area.
