When I’m inside La Casa de Beto's red doors I feel like I could be in a pueblo like Venecia or Jericó and not in the heart of El Poblado. That’s a good thing.
Another good thing is their food. La Casa de Beto’s lunch menu goes beyond your basic grilled or fried meat and offers a different and unique daily dish like arroz trifásico (triple meat rice) or big juicy meatballs.
And, thanks to the trip to the salad bar that comes with each 10,500 COP lunch menu, it’s a big meal. The salad bar isn’t Whole Foods-like, but it’s surprisingly good. It’s got options like broccoli, steamed beats, a hearty coleslaw, diced fruit, and delicious, crispy potato skins.
Despite solid competition from the likes of Franchyes, Emperador, and El Pilon Guarceño, La Casa de Beto is Poblado’s best menu del dia option for when you’re really hungry.
Final Score: 8.5 (10 Value, 7 Quality)
