Sancocho

I first ate Sancocho on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the savoury and satisfying quality I remembered. achiote annatto was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. the bandeja paisa …

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Sancocho. I ordered it with agua panela sugarcane drink and the richly textured elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. Colombian hogao tomato sauce in particular became more prominent in a good way. Colombian cuisine va…

Having eaten Sancocho at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The hearty and comforting quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried.

Growing up it…

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Sancocho correctly. The instructor explained why Colombian hogao tomato sauce is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The subtly sweet with tropical fruit result when you make it yourself is different. the …

Sancocho here was solidly made — richly textured without anything to complain about. chicharrón pork rinds was present and handled reasonably.
