El Gustazo

Must-Try Dishes:
Bandeja paisa, Chicharrón, Empanadas
What makes it special: Big Colombian comfort plates with grill-forward flavors and generous portions.

Sweet Treats Escapes
A bakery-counter hybrid where the best meals feel like well-seasoned cafeteria comfort: quick plates, pastries, and grab-and-go staples. It’s strongest when you keep it simple—roasted meats, soups, and baked goods—rather than chasing anything fussy.
Must-Try Dishes:
Rotisserie chicken plate, Empanadas, Tres leches cake
What makes it special: Bakery + hot line combo for fast Latin comfort plates and desserts.
7.7
A deli-style Salvadoran stop where the appeal is direct: made-to-order pupusas, simple hot items, and a homey, utilitarian setup. It’s ideal when you want something fast and satisfying, with flavors that read more homemade than restaurant-polished.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pupusas revueltas, Tamales, Yuca con chicharrón
What makes it special: Deli-format Salvadoran cooking with pupusas made to order.
7.6
A Colombian staple built around rotisserie-style chicken and no-nonsense sides, best approached as a comfort-first, flavor-forward stop. The kitchen shines on hearty stews and shareable platters, while service and pacing can be more uneven at peak times.
Must-Try Dishes:
Rotisserie chicken, Cazuela de mariscos, Sweet plantains
What makes it special: Colombian chicken-and-sides done in a hearty, neighborhood style.
