Las Cazuelas de la Abuela - Bogotá

Excellent food and great Bogota vibe. Had some mandarin drink with my meat trio and they went perfectly! Highly recommend you try it and enjoy these boots researching done one plate at a time!

If you are tired of restaurants that claim to be local but when you get there nobody speaks Spanish then go to this restaurant. They have a great and cheap variety of typical Colombian dishes. I tried bagre en salsa, cazuela de frijoles, ajiaco and mondongo. You have the option of getting half or a quarter of the original size. It is usually full of locals trying to have good and affordable food. The service is ok, some times you have to wait outside because is very popular among near by workers.

This place is simply delicious!!! I have been to many fancy and well known restaurants and this is my favorite of them all. Not pretentious at all, just great food at a great price with a great service!!! I have gone there quite a few times and very dish I have tried is deliciously prepapred!

I was invited to this restaurant by a friend, they explained that it offers genuine colbia my meals. I tried the infamous Ajiaco, it was very delicious, the atmosphere of the restaurant was authentic and had a popular feel. I would however be careful with the size :) unless you are very hungry just go for the medium sized meal.I am definitely looking forward to go again and try another dish.

While I was in Bogotá on business, my customer recommended that we go here for lunch one day. He wanted me to have an authentic plate of Bandeja Paisa, so that's what I ordered. But first of all, don't let the graffiti on the outside scare you away. Bogotá, like many Latin American cities, is plagued by graffiti--even the safe neighborhoods. This is no exception. I was very comfortable walking the several blocks to get here and back, and we encountered nothing but busy people bustling along the sidewalks. We arrived a few minutes after 12:00 and the restaurant was nearly empty. But by 12:30, the place was packed, so be sure to get there right at noon or you may not find a seat. And also, when the place is full, it's hard to walk to the door because the tables are so close together. The Bandeja Paisa was delicious. I also ordered a strawberry milk to drink with it. This isn't like Nestle's Strawberry Quik--this is fresh strawberries blended with milk. Both the meal and the drink were new experiences for me. Since I'm not sure if or when I will be returning to Bogotá, I am trying to replicate these here at home. But if I do return to Bogotá, I will certainly try to make my way back to Las Cazuelas de la Abuela.
