We went for lunch one Tuesday afternoon, and the place was surprisingly and happily packed. We took advantage of the special of the day, ajiaco, which is a traditional soup from Bogota that arrived in a good-sized bowl chock full of tender shredded chicken breast in an extremely flavorful, rich broth. It included three types of potatoes as well as a piece of corn cob; it was very reminiscent of caldo de pollo, but with a richer and more full-bodied base.
Ajiaco — shredded chicken breast soup cooked with three different potato types, served with rice, salad, dressing, and cream.Our second lunch entrée was ropa vieja: a large plate of shredded beef, fried plantains, rice, beans and avocado that was under $15 and maybe too much food for lunch. Fortunately, we were up for the challenge. The beef was tender and juicy and full of flavor without being spicy.
