No frills, affordable Colombian food served in a casual venue. If you like meat, go for the Argentinian steak. My personal favourite is the Patacón con todo (fried green plantain topped with pork belly, flaked chicken breast and flaked tender beef, served with pineapple and garlic sauce, guacamole)
