#1
Ajúa La Taquería
Parque Lleras·$$
Esquites (Corn Salad)
COP7000.00
Roasted corn kernels with crema, cotija cheese, lime, and chili powder.
Tip: Order the esquites to share while the al pastor tacos are being prepared. It buys you time and keeps you from eating the bread basket.
#2
Brasarepa
Envigado·$$
Fried Yuca with Chimichurri
COP12000.00
Crispy fried cassava root served with bright chimichurri sauce and fresh lime.
Tip: Order yuca as a side with any steak or grilled protein — the crispy-creamy texture is perfect for cutting through rich meat.
#3
Criminal Taquería
El Poblado·$$
Elote Charred Corn
COP7500.00
Charred corn on the cob topped with crema, cotija cheese, and chili powder.
Tip: Eat the elote standing up or over a plate — the crema drips. Grab extra napkins from the counter.

Fries with Cheddar and Bacon
COP12900.00
Hand-cut fries topped with melted cheddar cheese, crispy bacon bits, marinated tomato, and sour cream.
Tip: Order these to share before burgers arrive. They're gone in seconds.

Sweet Potato Fries
COP12900.00
Hand-cut sweet potato fries with sea salt and a house aioli for dipping.
Tip: These are worth ordering on their own — crispy outside, creamy inside, perfectly salted.
