Ropa Vieja

Tried something a little different after gym today—a Colombian-style sandwich from Empanadas Factory. It was actually my first time trying Colombian food, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect.

The sandwich came packed with shredded beef—hearty and super generous in portion. The combo of sour cream, refried beans, and melted tasty cheese made it super filling and gave it that creamy, comforting feel. The sour cream and salsa also brought a nice tanginess that cut through the richness a bit. The Turkish bread was nicely toasted and held up well, and the whole thing kind of reminded me of a taco—but wrapped up in bread instead of a tortilla.
