This funky Colombian hangout looks like a total dive from the outside, but once inside you will want to dive right into the supremely fresh national specialties such as pargo rojo estofado a la mama vieja (red snapper stuffed with a supercreamy and delicate seafood sauce in a rice base). Brightly painted walls and elevated porches look out onto a large-screen TV showing music videos from the old country. The walls and ceilings are decorated with hundreds of hats that have been donated by customers and signed in exchange for a free meal. Bring in an interesting hat and mention it to the server before placing your order so that he or she can bring you to the attention of the owner. All the dishes here are worth trying and are so reasonably priced that it's easy to order a lot. Try to save room for the milky sweet desserts and a good strong coffee--you'll need it if you want to dance it off after at Lola, the very popular, unpretentious hot spot next door. If not, there's live music here, too.
