Tucked into Chippendale, this lively Latin nook turns out hearty Colombian staples alongside specialty coffee and hard-to-find pantry goods. Regulars lean into massive platters of bandeja paisa, hot arepas con queso, and warm tamales wrapped in banana leaves, often pairing them with house-made aji or fresh natural juices. Santiago guides newcomers through the regional menu, where coeliac diners can order easily thanks to extensive gluten-free options. Before heading out, patrons raid the bodega shelves and grab-and-go fridge for blocks of panela, Postobón soda, and chilled caldo de costilla to heat up at home.
- Regional Colombian Specialties: Generous plates of bandeja paisa, caldo de costilla, and arepas con queso anchor the kitchen's traditional offerings.
- Retail Bodega & Takeaway: A take-home bodega fridge offers ready-to-heat soups alongside pantry staples like panela and Colombian sodas.
