La Costeñita Colombian Restaurant

Bandeja Paisa

The Colombian combination platter — rice, beans, chicharrón, grilled meat, fried egg, sweet plantains, and arepa — a full meal on one plate

Arroz con Coco

Coconut-infused rice, a hallmark of costeño cooking — subtly sweet, fragrant, and the right foil to stewed proteins

Patacones

Twice-fried green plantain discs — crispy outside, starchy within, eaten with hogao or guacamole

Sancocho

Slow-simmered Colombian stew with chicken, root vegetables, and corn — restorative and deeply savoury

Cazuela de Mariscos

Coastal seafood stew in a rich tomato-coconut broth — the dish that justifies the 'costeña' in the name if available

Empanadas Colombianas

Cornmeal pastries filled with spiced meat and potato, fried to a light crisp — a reliable starter
