BANDEJA PAISA RESTAURANT – Chinese
A West Flagler dining room that has been cooking Colombian since 2001, and names itself after the plate everyone comes for. Mornings until noon belong to breakfast: calentado paisa with rice, beans, avocado, sweet plantain and chicharron, or the campesino with a mozzarella arepa. After that the kitchen gets serious. Sagrada carne asada is an eighteen-ounce New York strip with yuca puree and fried cheese; asado patagonia piles beef, chicken and pork loin on one board. Yucamole, fried pork bites with chorizo and criolla potatoes, mixed rice with chicharron. Portions are the recurring theme here. Bring an appetite and company.
