"Here’s our Luis Galindo rule: come on Thursdays, sit down at the long counter by the sandwich station, and order the ajiaco a la criolla. It’s a hearty soup with pork, yuca, malanga, platanos, and chunks of corn still on the cob. This ajiaco is thick, and unlike Colombian ajiaco, it doesn’t have any potatoes. This sounds counterintuitive, but it’s the perfect food to get you sweating and cooled down on a hot summer day. If it's not Thursday (the only day ajiaco is available), order the tamal en cazuela—a thick corn stew with braised pork." - virginia otazo
