Bandeja Paisa: Abundance, Soul & Antioquian Heritage
Bandeja Paisa: Abundance, Soul & Antioquian Heritage
The Bandeja Paisa stems from the 19th-century muleteer (arriero) culture in Colombia's coffee triangle and Antioquia mountains. These hardworking pioneers crossed steep Andean passes transporting coffee, relying on a wholesome feast to fuel their grueling daily journeys across the mountains.
At Donde La Tía, our Bandeja Paisa honors traditional family cooking: slow-simmered red beans infused with homemade hogao sofrito, fluffy white rice, seasoned beef, ultra-crispy Colombian pork belly (chicharrón), sunny-side up fried egg, artisan chorizo, sweet fried ripe plantain, white corn arepa, and fresh avocado.

Pure corn arepas and crispy empanadas hand-shaped fresh every morning.

Slow & Loving Cooking
Tender meats and comforting stews cooked gently in their rich natural juices.
The 4 Pillars of Colombian Home Cooking
Authentic homemade Colombian cooking cannot be rushed: it is rooted in wholesome raw ingredients, hours of gentle simmering, and loving family recipes passed down across generations.
Authentic Criollo Hogao
Vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh scallions, crushed garlic, and ground cumin reduced over gentle heat. It is the signature sofrito that breathes flavor into beans, stews, and meats.
Whole Corn Milled Daily
No industrial premixes. We cook whole corn kernels, mill them in-house, and hand-shape every arepa and empanada for a crisp golden exterior and fluffy warm interior.
Slow Heat & Pure Patience
Our braised meats (Sobrebarriga flank steak, beef tongue, and Sancocho) simmer for hours in rich natural broths until fork-tender and succulent.
Noble Ingredients & Tropical Freshness
Sweet caramelized ripe plantains, cassava root (yuca), creamy avocados, and 100% natural pulps of passion fruit, lulo, soursop, and mango from the Andes.
