Guayabal·$$
Milanesa de Carne
COP24000.00
Thin-cut, breaded and fried beef served with arepa, rice, and salad.
Tip: The milanesa is a classic Paisa dish—thin, crispy, and satisfying. It's what many Paisas grew up eating.
#2
Maru Rico
Guayabal·$$
Carne Asada
COP28000.00
Grilled beef served with arepa, rice, salad, and plantain.
Tip: Ask for your beef medium-rare. The grill is hot enough to get a crust while keeping the interior tender.
#3
La Matriarca
El Poblado·$$
Carne Asada
COP28000.00
Grilled beef served with arepa, plantain, and salad.
Tip: The quality of the beef here is noticeably higher than street-level grilled meat—worth the extra cost for lunch or dinner.
#4
La Matriarca
El Poblado·$$
Chicharrón
COP20000.00
Crispy fried pork skin and meat, served with arepa and tomato salsa.
Tip: This is pure Paisa comfort food—if you want to understand the cuisine, try the chicharrón. It's not fancy, but it's deeply flavorful.
#5
Maru Rico
Guayabal·$$
Pollo a la Plancha
COP22000.00
Grilled chicken breast served with arepa, rice, salad, and plantain.
Tip: If you want something lighter than the bandeja but still filling, the grilled chicken is excellent and more affordable.

Chorizo La Matriarca
COP22000.00
House-made chorizo from a specific Antioquian producer, grilled and served with arepa.
Tip: Skip the bandeja if you want something lighter—the chorizo is the star and is perfectly satisfying on its own with arepa.
