| - Another International Supper Club evening with a group of awesome yelpers who are all about sampling the schmorgesborg of international eats we have at our fingertips in the #905 area of the GTA.
Las Delicias has been noted as nothing much to look at from the outside, which is why you might completely drive by this tiny shop buried in the extreme corner of strip mall near Dundas and Hurontario. However this tiny authentically Colombian shop is pushing out big smiles, huge portions and even bigger flavours for customers. Oh and to counter balance all this big talk... the prices are super cheap. Boom!
It's got maybe 18 seats total so our group of 8-10 took up a good portion of the dining space, however, we were the only ones sitting down to eat as the majority of the traffic (and there was a lot) was take out, so don't feel like you "have to" stay in and eat.
To start I got a Colombian Kola beverage which tasted like Coke or Pepsi but with another cup of sugar, not too sweet but definitely sugary. I loved it! For the table I got a few orders of Empanadas. They split the orders up between chicken/beef and cheese. These were UNREAL. Crispy and piping hot on the outside, soft/gooey and flavourful on the inside. Paired with the salsa-esque sauce they provide in hot and mild on the side to dip and BAM... a flavour explosion that will make your toes curl!
I easily could have just had a dozen empanadas and a kola and been happy, but the menu here was so vast with so many items on it, I had to control myself and order something popular and authentically Colombian. Myself and most of the members of our group ordered the most popular item which was the Bandeja Paisa. This dish was insane... the plate was overflowing with food. The Bandeja Paisa came with: fried pork belly, flank steak, fried eggs, fried plantain, rice and beans, an arepa and Colombian sausage. Holy crap! I could barely finish my mean. The plantain, sausage and rice and beans were unexpectedly awesome (usually not my fave menu items), the flank steak was flavourful but a tad tough (common however, in thinner cuts of beef), and the pork belly while flavourful was a tad too much for me after about my 8th or 9th piece (they give you a LOT!
Add to the food the fact that the service was so friendly and helpful, I cannot wait to come back and try some other items.
Eatcrest Out!
