That colored "b" is extremely distracting from an otherwise pleasant logo.

Thank you all!

Yes Kult, the Colombian colors are yellow, blue and red, and these are represented on the type.. and that blue is that i need. What can i do? (excuse my english)

The blue is represented in a very small area of the total logo. The way it is, it's quite offsetting. Since you need to incorporate those three key colors, I'd strongly consider re-working the logo to tie the blue in more, making it more prevalent in some way.

Also, you can see a faint white outline around the colors within the letters (o,o,b,a). It's not very flattering, and I'd try and fill in the space completely with color.

Otherwise, I enjoy the design in general. Also, the lettering looks hand-made, except it looks almost as if it was drawn with a mouse (look at the "a"). Assuming I'm right, at larger resolutions, any unrefined areas will really be obvious. I might consider re-drawing the characters again at a better resolution, then scaling them to the appropriate size. Draw on paper, scan, vectorize in Illustrator.

Kult: Thank you for your comments! These are very important for my job. Tus apreciaciones serán tomadas en cuenta y lo discutiré con el cliente. Todo lo que sea para mejorar, bienvenido!

Sin embargo, con esta marca se resaltan los colores cálidos y las formas rústicas (la tipografía existe, no es dibujada a mano), para reflejar el calor humano del pueblo, las bondades del clima y acercar al público a un establecimiento lleno de energía, arte y folclor. El color azul es necesario por ser parte de la bandera, pero por tratarse de un color frío, al darle algún protagonismo, le quitaría la vida que el símbolo quiere transmitir...

A todos los demás gracias igual!
(excuse my english, i'll try to write it better soon)

Salsa-ish! Nice! Akitash how about changing the "b" to blue instead of using a color fill?
