Ajiaco

Ajiaco here was solidly made — richly textured without anything to complain about. chicharrón pork rinds was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have. Colombian cuisine varies dramatically between the coastal Caribbean, Andean, and Amazonia…

I spent three months trying every version of Ajiaco I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled Colombian hogao tomato sauce with genuine knowledge and the savoury and satisfying result was noticeably superior. Colombian cuisine varies dramatically betw…

You can taste history in Ajiaco if you know what to look for. Colombian cuisine varies dramatically between the coastal Caribbean, Andean, and Amazonian regions.

Having eaten Ajiaco at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best.

The best Ajiaco I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The subtly sweet with tropical fruit intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. plantain was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Ajiaco made with real commitment to achiote annatto and technique. The savoury and satisfying result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. Colombian cuisine varies dramatically between the c…
