    Colombian Coffee El Arepazo - Bandeja Paisa

    A quaint little homely Colombian restaurant in the heart of Holloway Nags Head's market with decor…read moresimilar to an old English cafe with bright orange painted walls which added a nice charm to it. Both the staff there were very humble and accommodating, working non stop to dish up delicious plates of Columbian food at portions big enough to feed two and all at affordable prices. At the front of the counter were a lovely selection of starters containing many unusual and delicious looking Colombian street foods. I say unusual but that is because I have not seen many of these delicacies in London before. Chorizo on cornbread This was okay. I think the cornbread let it down a bit being quite dry and bland but the chorizo itself made it worthwhile. Made from grounded meat and spices the texture was very moist and creamy, tasting much like processed meat. But I liked it and the heat built up after each bite making it quite spicy. Beef empanadas Very different to a lot of the Spanish versions I've had as the filling was more fluffy due to the addition of mash potato in it too instead of being very meaty. It was very flavourful, comforting, with the beef giving it the oomph of flavour it needed. The soft texture was a lovely contrast to the crispy cornmeal fried batter too which sadly started to become slightly hard and chewy from being left out too long and then reheated. But for the cheap prices they're charging, I am not complaining. Papas Rellanas (stuffed potatoes) These were definitely the highlight of our meal. Fried potato balls made of mash potatoes stuffed with rice, beef and onions. It starts off being crispy before you break the thin fried outer shell and reach into the lovely generous soft fluffy filling. It was seasoned perfectly with mild spices, adding complexity and depth to the ground beef and sweet onions. Comfort food at its best Pollo a la plancha A delicious plate of wholesome food. For someone who doesn't like chicken breast I was so surprised at how much I loved this dish. It was obvious that the chicken was marinated for long hours to give out the lovely mild savoury spices against its natural sweet flavours with a lovely hint of smokiness as a result of being beautifully grilled. It was succulent and tender too. It came with a lovely side of braised red beans, cooked till fluffy and soft and seasoned perfectly. Salad helped reduce the stodginess as well and adding some crunch to the dish and a lovely juicy plantain for some sweetness. All accompanied with fluffy rice and a runny fried egg. Bandeja Paisa A gigantic platter of food consisting of fried pork belly, two grilled beef, grilled chorizo, a fried egg, fried bread, stewed pinto beans, plantain, a slice of avocado and salad. It was delicious and every part of it. The pork belly was delicious. Being fried you have a lovely contrast of the crispy outside and the soft tender inside with good fatty boys melting in your mouth. Beef were beautifully marinated, smoky and although required a bit of teeth work they were very enjoyable to bite through its rich flavours. Chorizo were lovely with its sweet spices and meaty texture. Everything else was great too, either all fresh or cooked perfectly. For £12 it was a bargain especially when it fed the both of us and we even had some leftover to takeaway. I think I found a hidden gem as I have been trying to find more information on them on the internet but there is minimal information about them. Yet the place was packed the whole time we we were there and staff were ever so accommodating. It's not a place for a first date though as the market it is in (Holloway Nags Head) can be a a bit rough sometimes and the restaurant itself is quite run down with poor paint job. However for a bit of change to the usual and for authentic Colombian food and cheap budget eats, I highly recommend this place and I will be back soon.

    Fun and creative idea to eat Latin food inside a double decker bus. Let me clarify that this is a…read morefood bus, not a food truck. Meaning that you can actually eat inside this vehicle. You order downstairs, seats and tables are on the second floor of the bus. The whole bus kind of shakes whenever someone walks in it. The seats are covered in some kind of a hemp cover and are very worn. There are also a few tables outside the bus. The arepa is a bit expensive and not filled up like a pocket. Just the flat corn bread and all fillings on the side. The vegetarian filling was mainly kidney beans and cabbage with spots of black beans, then avocado, salsa and sour cream on the side. They need to salt the food more, it's too bland and hardly any seasoning. I have had much better arepas in NC. Matt G - neither NC nor Cambridge are places renowned for their arepas! I don't know if it's a geographical difference because I have only had Venezuelan arepas and this was a Colombian version. The empenadas were super hot in temperature, couldn't touch it for 10 minutes, never seen a snack so steaming hot. But rather this than cold. Just like with the arepa, you can get empenadas with vegetarian, chicken, beef filling and I think the price is the same. The dough is different from the Argentinian empenadas I have had, more like a fried coating rather than baked, if that makes sense. Apart from arepa, empenadas, you can also get tostones. The menu is very limited, it's not a full dinner kind of place. They also have a weekly special which this time was a shrimp dish, which was too expensive at something like 2£ per shrimp. Also Colombian coffee on the menu. The location is a bit odd and random. The bus is placed next to a retail parking lot on the outskirts of the city. On a sunny day, With Colombian pop loudly playing in the speakers of the bus you might even feel like you are in downtown Bogotá, who knows.

    Since moving to London we have missed Latin American food immensely so when we found this nearby we…read morehad to stop. I won't lie, I was initially turned off by the outside look and we were first in the restaurant (empty restaurants are never a good sign); however, my original trepidation was immediately laid to rest when our waitress came. She was friendly and walked us through all our menu questions and provided some helpful suggestions and very quickly the restaurant filled up. The arepas were fantastic, cheese on top was melted perfection, and the tamales were bursting with flavor and the was moist and delicious. I would highly recommend a stop here, just make sure to bring cash.

    Donde Carlos, what can I say...? Great place with a little shop downstairs for those Latin American…read moregoods you're missing! The service is friendly, and feels genuine, and the ambiance is almost as if you were in Colombia! There's usually some Spanish football on the TV which adds to the authenticity of the restaurant. It's always full of Colombians, and other spanish speakers, which could be a little daunting for some, but it's evidence that they do a good job with the food! The empanadas taste great, and of course come with the great spicy salsa verde, super tasty. I ALWAYS go for the Bandeja Paisa, and I'm satisfied every time! The meat is good, although it can be a little over cooked at times, but not often. The rice, arepa, egg, beans and plantain are always cooked perfectly (I think they've had a lot of practice)!! The drinks choices are great, you can even order a Refajo (recommended) which is kinda like beer with Irn-Bru. Tastes great with all the meat on a Bandeja Paisa! They also have some great juices which you can have with milk or water. I usually get the Maracuja with water... refreshing! To say the prices for food are reasonable is a real understatement. £12 for Bandeja Paisa of this quality is awesome! If you're ever in Shepherds Bush, check this place out. Be warned, they close unusually early on Sundays, around 7pm.
