" A fun place with good food. I had the carne asada and it was decent. A little pricey for what I expected but the atmosphere made up for it. I might come back just for the desserts. They looked amazing! Next time I’ll be sure to try some cocktails too. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Moliendo Cafe recently and had a wonderful time. The vibe was vibrant and very much representative of Colombian culture. I ordered camarones al ajillo and was blown away by how flavorful the dish was. The staff was attentive and friendly which enhanced my experience. For anyone looking for a taste of Colombia, this place is a gem. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service here was phenomenal! Our server made us feel extremely welcome and recommended the best dishes. The food was authentic Colombian, bursting with flavors that felt homemade. I especially loved their fried yucca and sweet plantains. We even brought home some leftovers due to the generous portions. I’ll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was excellent, but the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. I tried the steak and found it lacking in flavor and seasoning. However, the ambiance was nice and the staff made the effort to make our experience pleasant. I would be willing to give it another chance and try something else! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stopped by for lunch and had the chicken arepa, which was quite delightful! The flavors were on point and the freshness of the ingredients was obvious. The only downside was that I had to wait a bit longer for my food than expected. When I received it however, it made the wait worth it. I will be returning to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

The service was prompt and attentive, and the whole vibe of the restaurant made me feel very relaxed. I will definitely be back to try more on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Moliendo Cafe with friends and we had a great time! The staff was friendly, and they serve generous portions. The food reminded me of authentic Colombian cooking and tasted fresh. Perfect spot for a casual dinner with good company. I’ll be recommending this place to others! " (*Curated Review*)
