"A beloved Colombian chain located on the shoulder of the highway south of Medellín, this spot is renowned for its jumbo empanadas and sun-shaped pasteles de pollo. Walking in you’re met with the smells of juicy, tender meat and garlic hitting the grill, and the interior’s varnished-wood decor evokes the classic chain-restaurant vibe. On Sundays locals line up for empanadas made with a slightly sweeter, softer dough that still breaks with a satisfying crunch; fillings include vegetarian potato or shredded beef with potato, and everything is best finished with the mildly spicy ají." - ByIsa Zapata
