Best Mandocas I've had — and I've tried a few

Having eaten Mandocas at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The tropical and vibrant quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. black beans caraotas is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference.

This is proper a Colombian-Venezuelan border town restaurant cooking, not an adaptation for foreign tastes. papelón con limón was the obvious choice and the combination was perfect. hallacas Christmas preparation is a multi-day family tradition where the whole extended family participates. Would return for this dish alone.
