LA PALOMA BAKERY & RESTAURANT – Restaurant

The pan de bono comes out warm and the coffee is already poured. La Paloma is a Colombian bakery and restaurant in Hialeah that opens at seven and runs both counters at once - pastry case up front, kitchen behind it. Empanadas, arepas de huevo, chicharron, bandeja paisa, huevos pericos: the familiar repertoire, made properly and priced for every day. Diners talk about food that tastes like someone's mother made it and servers who remember faces. Small room, big appetite. Get there before the empanadas run out.
