| - Still on our 'find cool places to eat near the Mesa Art Center' mission - La Tiendita popped up - Colombian food - haven't tried that yet, let's give it a go!
I ordered the Bandeja Paisa - this was described as a traditional Colombian choice - it included Chorizo, Chicharron (pork rind), Carne Molida (ground beef), Bajadas (fried plantains), Huevo (fried egg), Arepa, Aguacete (avocado), Arroz (rice), Frijoles (beans).
The beans were GREAT! I thought the Carne Molida was a bit bland - definitely needed the Huevo with it. Chorizo was good. The Arepa was unlike the Venezuelan Arepas I've had (and I prefer them).
It was a solid meal, and you will likely enjoy it!
My better half got the Bisteca a Caballo. That's a steak with tomato and onion sauce, topped with a fried egg with rice, green plantains, and a salad. She really liked this a lot - I wouldn't order it just because it doesn't come with their frijoles, and they were really good. :-)
Definitely worth checking out!
