Ordering Strategy

Go hungry and plan to share; start with empanadas and the soup of the day, then tackle a Bandeja Paisa between two people.

What to order

Safe first

Empanadas

These are dense, fried to order, and 'stuffed to bursting with strands of spiced pork,' served alongside a fiery homemade aji chilli relish.

Hungry

Bandeja Paisa

An enormous platter of meat and protein that critics call an 'excellent rendition' of the national dish, highlighted by standout crispy chicharron and a rich kidney bean stew.

Wildcard

Sopa de Mariscos

Featured in a lunch deal that 'induces a double take' for its value, this is a rich seafood stew of mussels, prawns, and fish.

Wildcard

Famous Hen Soup

Specifically highlighted as a signature dish that draws the South American community to this rustic, traditional spot.

What to skip

Skip
Vegetarian Options— Critics describe the menu as 'largely meat based,' making it a difficult spot for vegetarians due to the focus on traditional animal proteins like chicharron and spiced pork.
