The anticuchos are made in the traditional way, with beef hart and a vinegar-based basting sauce. The ceviche mixto is pretty good too, and if you go during the weekend you might have the luck of trying the Peruvian style doughnuts called picarones. On the Chilean side you have empanadas and probably the most original of Chilean cuisine... very original sandwiches , like the chacarero, beef slices topped with green beans, tomatoes, mayo and a bit of chili. Talking about Chilean cuisine, there is a very nice bakery called "Panaderia latina" on 33rd and Joyce where you can find excellent empanadas and sweet pastries.Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766277084579888139.post-53484894765722033472010-01-16T17:41:01.118-08:002010-01-16T17:41:01.118-08:00Thanks for the mention and link babe! Great review...Thanks for the mention and link babe! Great review, if you want to go back to try the ceviche, I'm down, it is in my hood after all ;)<br /><br />And I wouldn't mind going back for the Jalea, I've been get cravings for it every now and then since we've had it! I liked the texture and starchiness of the cassava root, it was diff and less mushy than some french fries made out of potatoes, I like the crispiness it had too. and of course the hot sauce was AMAZING.<br /><br />the beans w/rice was delicious yes. I could go for that again lol. And the bananas! I wonder if we asked for ice cream with it, if they'd have some? haha I really think the "plantains" would be really good with ice cream since they're caramelized.<br /><br />Great review Mijune (as always) I wouldn't expect anything less from you ;)nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10629521741658105096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766277084579888139.post-20818232678940257702010-01-15T02:19:01.507-08:002010-01-15T02:19:01.507-08:00Hi Sherman!

I'm glad I'm not the only one...I definitely think that pork ring thing is an acquired taste...that's why it was hard for me to rate...it could be a 6/6 to people of that country...but for me personally it was 3/6...so I thought 4/6 was fair :)Follow Me Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431721735872577188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766277084579888139.post-87270486181733884982010-01-15T02:14:52.931-08:002010-01-15T02:14:52.931-08:00Hi Mike!

The owners are from Peru so I hope her Columbian cooking is just as good as the authentic stuff you have had.<br /><br />Thanks for posting the pictures. I guess everyone has a different interpretation of the dish? I'm pretty sure this is as close to home cooked Latin food as I will get being in Vancouver. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!Follow Me Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431721735872577188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766277084579888139.post-54283371965959069362010-01-15T02:10:39.375-08:002010-01-15T02:10:39.375-08:00Hi Kim! ooops sorry I'll say you're from P...Hi Kim! ooops sorry I'll say you're from Panama :)...btw the plantains...the owner said they are not the yellow ones we have here...and they are not the green ones either...she said it is an entirely different banana...?<br /><br />I do want to try the ceviche one day!

I will definitely try this place out. <br /><br />Just for comparison's sake, here are to Bandeja Paisa's that I tried in Bogota and Quindio:<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/baristahands/3408771478/in/set-72157616197095053/<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/baristahands/4050036358/in/set-72157622549951369/Mikehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/baristahands/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766277084579888139.post-8604836620351474582010-01-15T00:01:19.802-08:002010-01-15T00:01:19.802-08:00I am glad you enjoyed my recommendation! :)
Howev...I am glad you enjoyed my recommendation! :)<br /><br />However...<br /><br />1) I was raised in Panama. Despite they are neighbours, Panama != Colombia != Peru... ;)<br /><br />2) The egg is not a poached egg but a fried egg. You can usually ask them to prepare it to your prefered consistency.<br /><br />3) Those are actually regular plantains. What happens is that, depending on when you prepare them, the output can be completely different. If the plantain is still somewhat green, it will be really starchy and tough. Once you let it ripe, when cooked (specially fried), it will turn into a sweet, almost gelatinous mess.<br /><br />One thing I am disappointed though: you did NOT order one well-known Peruvian dish: ceviche! That means you should go there again. Nicole, are you up for it, too? ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the shoutout!KimHohttp://imonlyhereforthefood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766277084579888139.post-49383041735468341792010-01-14T17:25:21.889-08:002010-01-14T17:25:21.889-08:00Glad you made out to here.

It was a bit too chewy and dry for my tastes. However, it's a departure from the ordinary and that's good it enough for me.Sherman Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658949865479421864noreply@blogger.com
