| - We go to this little spot on Sahara and Decatur quite frequently! Ever since the day when we wanted saimin at Aloha Kitchen but by the time we got there, we had changed our minds and wanted something different? So I remember one of my friends "checking in" to Oiga Mira Vea and her caption was pretty eye catching. It said : " YUUUUUUMMMMMM"... Yeah, that's pretty much all I need to hear or see to know where I'm going for lunch! So it's small inside and there's a wooden door that slides back to reveal a restaurant/night club during late night hours! GENIUS! Also, the entire staff is family which I always love! This is definitely your typical hole-in-the-wall that serves some of the best food kind of place! Try the Cuban sandwich which is marinated pulled pork (carnitas) on a soft grilled french style bread smothered in white melted cheese, pickles and a little mayonaise.. I know, doesn't sound healthy when you write it all out, but hey, you don't go to a Colombian spot to eat healthy that's for sure! Oh yeah, if you're not a fan of oil drenched soggy fries, (which I'm not) then you might wanna skip out on eating them or getting them all together... Just stick with the sandwich! But honestly now, we all know the real gem in this place is their empanadas! I can't explain how I feel when I bite into one of the beef delicacies? By the way they have chicken and vegetarian as well for you non red meat people out there. Just make sure to ask for extra Aji sauce because that darn sauce is the closest thing to eating pure bliss! It's so simple and fresh and I love it! If you're still not full then head on over to their glass case where they hold their baked goods and try one of their freshly fried bunuelos!!! Pronounced: BOON- WELL- OHS...I think? Anyhow, they're balls of dough that has mixes of different mild cheeses inside and then it's deep fried! A very heavy snack but it's worth a try! So just so we are all clear on this... When making your way to Oiga Mira Vea; please make sure to either 1. Wear spandex for comfort purposes. 2. Bring a designated driver because you might not fit behind the wheel after wards. Or 3. Go on a juice diet 3 days prior so you can prepare your body for the experience you're about to have here! ( FYI, I would personally go with number 2. since it's never fun to eat alone anyways.... OK yelpers- Buen provecho!
