OH MY GOD!!!! Colombia I love you. Get the beef short ribs manuka smoked. Cooked overnight. Softest, like pulling jelly off the bone, you will never try anything better, and only $25 for this including small salad, and a side. I go with the french fries and LOVE the tamarind dipping sauce. Ok, I have to go there now!
