Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, Colombia…

You will find these meal options in many countries in south/central America. They are the best way to try the local food whilst eating affordably.

In Colombia for about 3-5€ you can get a “Menu del Dia”

Menu del dia = soup + main meal + drink.

Th meal will generally be fish, beef, chicken or chorizo cooked in various ways with multiple sides. The soup will often be chicken or fish complete with bones. The drink will be a local fruit juice (water based) or lemonade.

The menu del dia is not always in menus in restaurants and they won’t always offer it to you, but it is often available and can help you save considerably on your food allowance. SO ASK FOR IT 

 

Not the most appetizing picture but they can be really good….
