1. Pan de bono
Imagine a golden treasure, fresh from the oven, wafting an aroma that tickles your nose with hints of warm corn, melted cheese and sometimes bocadillo. That’s a tasty pan de bono calling!. Pan de Bono is a Colombian staple similar to small bread but with symphony of textures and flavors.
Pan de bono is one of the delicacies you can try in out Cartagena Street Food Tour. Its a dough made from corn filled with cheese and sometimes bocadillo, you put it carefully in the oven until it gets a slightly crisp exterior. The perfect pan de bono is served warm from the oven, allowing the cheese to be deliciously gooey and irresistible.
2. Arepa de Queso (Chesee Arepa)
3. Arepa de Huevo
The star of the show on our street food tour arrives in the form of an arepa. Gently nestled into a pocket created in the arepa dough, the egg awaits its transformation. As the arepa de huevo meets the heat of a griddle or pan, the magic unfolds. The exterior transforms into a captivating canvas, boasting a slightly crisp and satisfying texture that yields to the soft and yielding cornmeal dough within
6. Patacón con queso
This is definetly on of my favorite stops. I really Enjoy the double-fried patacón, passed through garlic water and topped with fresh queso costeño, on our street food tour. Paired with traditional suero and spicy salsas, this local delicacy offers a true taste of Cartagena’s culinary heritage
7. Kola román
Kola román is a popular soft drink made with the kola nut created by Mr. Carlos Román in 1865 in Cartagena. Delicous drink with over ice. This way, it an be enjoyed at its most refreshing and flavorful. Sometimes with a little it of fresh lime.
8. Shrimp cocktails
Cartagena’s shrimp cocktail is a vibrant and refreshing dish that captures the essence of the Caribbean coast. Imagine a generous portion of succulent, cooked fresh local shrimps bathed in a tangy and flavorful sauce, all served chilled and perfect for a hot Colombian day.
Typically served chilled, often in a glass or a small bowl. Lime wedges or a squeeze of fresh lime might be offered on the side for those who want to adjust the acidity. Some vendors might serve them with tostadas (crispy fried corn tortillas) or patacones (twice-fried plantains) for scooping up the delicious shrimp and sauce.
