In Colombia, every street corner tells a story, and every bite is a piece of culture. The air smells of sizzling masa, fried treats, fresh cheese, and tradition. From the vibrant coast to the Andean highlands, street food is the heartbeat of Colombian daily life.
As Shakira once said (2019): “Colombian food is my favorite way to reconnect with my roots — especially a warm arepa de huevo with coffee in the morning.”
1. Arepa de Huevo
The crown jewel of the Caribbean coast. A golden fried arepa stuffed with egg that bursts with flavor. Anthony Bourdain famously said during his visit: “If you eat an arepa de huevo in Cartagena, you understand Colombia in a single bite.”
2. Colombian Empanadas
Crunchy, golden empanadas filled with beef, potatoes, or chicken, always served with spicy ají sauce.
3. Pandebono
A soft, cheesy bread roll made with cassava flour and cheese — best enjoyed with hot chocolate.
4. Buñuelos
Golden, round cheese fritters made with yucca flour, airy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. A must during Christmas.
5. Arepa Boyacense
A sweet and cheesy variation from Boyacá, stuffed with fresh cheese and a touch of caramel.
6. Almojábanas
Soft, slightly sweet breads made with cuajada cheese and cornmeal — a breakfast classic.
7. Papas Rellenas
Deep-fried potatoes stuffed with meat or chicken, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
8. Obleas
Thin wafers layered with arequipe (dulce de leche), shredded cheese, or coconut. A Bogotá favorite.
9. Mazorca Desgranada
Sweet corn kernels served with cheese, sauces, and crunchy potato sticks on top. The ultimate party snack.
10. Colombian Churros
Golden fried sticks dusted with sugar, perfect to end a street food feast.
