The patacones and arepas keep things recognizably Colombian, but then a labneh dip shows up alongside yuca buñuelos and the tahini slips into the leche de tigre, and you realize the kitchen is tracing the country's full range of African and Lebanese influences. This Oakland restaurant runs loud, with a playlist and colorful room to match, but the service stays warm and the food stays sharp. Not a quiet Tuesday kind of spot.
