Superdog: Refreshing high quality fast food in Cali Colombia

by wzakaria

It is always difficult to find a good food place whn travelling around Colombia. There are down town areas where great restaurants abound, but the food at airports and bus stations is generally quite bad. Hygiene standards are appalling and there is a distinct lack of choice. Imagine my surprise therefore to find Superdog at the Cali bus terminal.Run by a Colombian lady who has visited Europe several times and is bilingual.Great menu, good clean, wholeseome tasting burgers and meats, and freshly brewed Grade A steaming hot Colombian coffee for free. The place is open from 06:00 to 23:00 and is full most days. Free Wifi and Sports channels on a huge flat screen TV.Check it out if you are passing through. Superdog Classic Hamburger.It has toppings you have never seen before.Steamed bread and the dogs to die for.

Los Quingos de Belén: the classic meals of Colombia

by richiecdisc

Los Quingos de Belén was a perfect way to begin what would be a great culinary experience in Popayán. This upscale but still very authentic restaurant just on the edge of town specializes in regional dishes and while not cheap, they serve huge portions in a very charming atmospheric setting. There is a large outdoor seating area but we preferred to sit inside to enjoy the room's considerable ambiance. Service was efficient and very professional without sacrificing friendliness. Though it was relatively empty, you could tell it was only because we were there at an off time, mid-afternoon and that it surely was very busy for lunch and dinner.I had the very typical Bandeja Paísa for 15,000 COP ($7.50) which consisted of ground beef, beans, chorizo, deep-fried pork skin or chicarone, rice, arepas, plantain, and half an avocado. It was topped with a perfectly done fried egg. I had this meal a...

Rincon del Lucy: perhaps the best of the cheapies

by richiecdisc

It's very likely Rincon del Lucy would have escaped my eye without its high recommendation in our guidebook but it was highly touted at our hostel as well. Of course, all this adds to just about every gringo in town going there but that's okay, there's only about twenty of us anyway and as long as everyone doesn't go at once, they can still squeeze a few Colombians in too. And they do as the place is a great value one with excellent food, something even locals can't resist. It's unassuming from the outside even with its “Carrera 6” prime location with wide doors on two sides, making it easy to eavesdrop on the diners packed within. The inside is homey with big tree-trunk tables and service is beyond friendly, it's like the owner is serving you. Well, that's exactly who his serving you and this guy knows how to schmooze. We ate here three times and never with any regret. The only reason...

Jugos Naturales: one great fruit drink place

by richiecdisc

One of the great things about all the amazing fruit is the preponderance of fruit juice vendors. They range from simple freshly squeezed varieties to those making more involved concoctions in blenders. There was a whole row of the latter along Avenida Daniel Lemaitre next to Parque del Centanario. Whenever you walked along this busy street, every one of them beckoned you in for one of their magic elixirs and at these prices we found ourselves stopping a few times a day. Rather than flutter from one to the next like a bee in search of better honey, we found one we liked and went back again and again. The others soon realized we were quite loyal to her and seemed to stop “bothering” us. Since we went so often, she always beamed as she saw us walking up. I guess we were like money in the bank, to the tune of three a day each! Tomate de arbol (tree tomatoes) was our first favorite but once...

Cocteleria Juancho: a very different cerviche

by richiecdisc

I walked by Cocteleria Juancho a few times without seeing it. Well, I saw it but it looked more like an ice cream stand than a place to have cerviche and even all the people outside eating from Styrofoam cups didn't give me a clue despite my having eaten cerviche the same way in Cartagena only a few days earlier. They just looked to be enjoying themselves much like you imagine icecream revelers to be doing. To be fair, it was dark and the street not exactly inviting since I was walking around alone, my wife in bed with a bad belly. Finally, I walked across the street to see that it indeed was the famed city institution despite its humble look and lack of any sign. Hell, you'd think after 33 years they might have got a sign but I guess the didn't need one. It was tiny but very busy and I jumped hesitantly in line eying up the cup sizes I could choose from.I pointed at 13 oz and muttered...

Color de Hormiga (Color of Ants): eating ants is better than it sounds

by richiecdisc

Color de Hormiga (Color of Ants) sure sounded good in our guidebook but it was also very expensive in the scheme of our budget so we didn't make a definite plan to go there. Still, there was no way we would be in such a small town as Barichara and at least not have a look at it. We even went as far as making sure to go on a day it was open as it is closed on Tuesdays. Barichara was charming but small so after a couple hours of wandering around there wasn't much more to see and the good light for photography had long passed by the time lunch rolled around. It was also a hot sunny day and though the city's park was very pleasant, how long can you sit in one place without growing antsy. The restaurant was on the edge of town on a very quiet street high on a hill and looked charming from the outside, with a very cool sign featuring marching ants to their door. Once inside, we were pretty...

La Fresca: the real deal in empanadas

by richiecdisc

Hosteltrail turned out to be a great hostel, but not just because it was a nice place to stay but because the young couple that own it are foodies. They turned us onto a few good places but mostly what I would like to thank them for is telling me about La Fresca. I asked where I could find the best empanadas de pipián and without hesitation they said this little place was THE place to get them. I had a few up on the hill in front of the Capilla de Belén but it only whetted my appetite to try more and hopefully better ones. Here was my chance. Unfortunately, D was still not feeling great and after our cheesy arepas con queso decided to take a nap. I headed for La Fresca. This small local snack shop might draw you in if you were looking for a cold beverage to quench your thirst but even at that there are countless more enticing places in Popayán more likely to garner your attention....

various, check individual pages for details: one of South America's better culinary countries

by richiecdisc

While South America might not be noted as a top culinary continent, some countries certainly stand out above others and Colombia is easily one of them. As with accommodation, it might not be the cheapest of all South American countries but overall the quality and range of choices are better too. That said, it was a slight disappointment to us as we had eaten in a particularly good Colombian restaurant while in Ecuador two years prior to setting foot in the cuisine's namesake country so we had very high expectations. Once our initial letdown passed, we found some excellent dishes that we already miss. As with all things Colombian, prices vary greatly. You could pay much for a meal here as you would in North America or Europe if that is what you are looking for. We were not so I cannot report on whether those meals are of the same standard. We did do a few splurgey meals in the $15 range...

Restaurant at Hostel Pisimbala-TIERRADENTRO

by elsadran

This is also a hostel with a very convenient location, as it is near the entrance of the park. It has nice scenery all around around. The hostel has a restaurant with simple and cheap local food. I had a meat dish with rice salad and fried bananas plus a fruit juice and paid about 4 $.This restaurant is convenient because otherwise you'd need a taxi to go to San Andres. (hotel prices: Double rooms 8$ with bathroom for 2 people and 12$ without bathroom for 2 )Click on photo

Salon Versailles - MEDELLIN: best empanadas!!!

by elsadran

This restaurant is extremely popular with locals. It's been there for many years. It is a two level restaurant with a great variety of local and South American dishes. It has tasty food and tastier pastries. There are 15 types of coffee (1-1,5$), pasta, pizzas (6-7$), tasty icecream and more. Main dishes cost 5-10$. I liked the 'empanadas' very much. I bought them in good numbers...I liked better the Chilean empanada (0,80$) than the Argentinian one (0,70)e-mail : versailes@une.net.co
