El Gustazo
8.2

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.
7.6
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.
