Fritanga

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Fritanga. I ordered it with agua panela sugarcane drink and the hearty and comforting elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. achiote annatto in particular became more prominent in a good way. the bandeja paisa plate is …

I grew up eating Fritanga and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the richly textured was right, Colombian hogao tomato sauce was handled the way it should be. the bandeja paisa plate is a point of Antioquian cultural pride. Growing…

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Fritanga well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered.

Colombian cuisine varies dramatic…
