COME HUNGRY !
Colombians know how to eat. It's hearty, heavy, stick to your ribs type of meal. If you can't handle it, go eat a salad.
My boyfriend and I were craving some spanish food.. (rice and beans - yum!). Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try! Really great food and nice place. Very roomy with good service.
I learned Colombians love to wear white jeans. It's a Colombian thing? All the servers had them on.
Here's what we got for DRINKS:
MARACUYA - It's fresh passion fruit made into a delicious refreshing drink. You can decide whether you want it blended with water to make a juice or with milk to make a shake. ($3.25)
Colombiana Soda - Very candy sweet... not crazy about it. But at a $1.50 a pop, give it a try. It may be something that toots your horns.
FOOD:
Arepa Con Queso - corn bread with mozzarella cheese
Bandeja Tipica (grilled steak, pork skin, egg, corn cake, sweet plantain, avocado, rice & beans)
Sobrebarriga A La Plancha (salad, grilled flank steak, rice & beans)
We had the Arepas for an appetizer. Very filling! It's 2 pieces of corn bread with mozarella cheese in the middle. Delicious - but made us kinda full. My boyfriend ordered the Bandeja Typicas. It is the quintessential Colombian dish. I ordered the Sobrebarriga A La Plancha. I wasn't that crazy about the flank steak. Flank is too stringy to be a steak. It's more shredded beef type of meat, not steak. I love the rice and beans and the fried yuca. Fried yuca is soo much heavier than your regular potato french fries.
Overall, great food, good price, LOTS of leftovers. I probably ate 1/8 of my dish. Can't wait to have leftovers for lunch! read more
