Colombian_Foods

Colombian Foods Colombian food is not spicey and it does not feature dishes with names like burrito, taco, enchilada, or chimichanga. What you will find when you open a menu is a lot of chicken, beef, fish (the closer you get to the coast), rice, potatos, yuca, plantains, soup, and juice to name a few things. The following list is not exhaustive by any means, but it does reflect the typical inexpensive menu items you will find when you stop for lunch at a typical restaurant. Many places offer "Comida Ejecutiva" or "Menu del Día" on weekdays. These are combination plates that typically consist of meat or chicken served with potato, yuca or plantain, a small portion of salad, a bowl of soup, and juice--all for around US$2. Carnes, Pollo y Pescado (Meats, Chicken and Fish) Cuts of Beef Baby Beef (make sure you pronounce it with a Colombian accent) - one of the better cuts of beef available. Churasco - tougher than Lomo or baby beef; generally a thin slice. Lomo - beef from the back of the cow; less fatty and generally considered the best cut available. Sobrebarriga - beef from the area above the stomach.
