Lots of good food in Colombia but in general steaks are not great. Try the ajiaco, bandeja paisa, and as many empanadas y patacones as you can. Sopas are wonderful, as are the fruit juices. Bad takes on American food are among my least favorites. I never got into the salchipapas either, but maybe worth a shot.

Thank you so much for the suggestions!

I was pretty altitude sick coming from 12 meters above sea-level Philadelphia to 2600 meters Bogota yesterday when I arrived. I was pretty nauseous, so I googled and ordered Ajiaco because it sounded comforting — it was delicious!

I had tamarind juice with lemon juice and basil with this meal, and it was out of this world. I have decided I am going to drink juice with every meal since it's so much more fresh than I can get in the states, and it's so inexpensive.
