Hyde Park's brief taste of Colombian food over for now
By adamg on Fri, 04/07/2017 - 4:05pm
Ricolombia Restaurant, 1231 River St., where Salamander Cafe used to be, and where a succession of Haitian restaurants used to be, quietly closed this week, barely four months after it opened.
Today, the windows were festooned with signs advising that it would be opening soon under new ownership.
Mercedes Pica had opened the neighborhood's first Colombian restaurant - which also offered some Italian dishes as well as some breakfast items such as bagels - a few months after she had closed Salamander Cafe, in the space where Cordon Bleu closed after problems with health inspectors and police.

colombian food
is really nice. lot of arab influence, even more so than latin dishes tend to have.
i prefer argentine but, maybe i'm just not a huge fan of coconut
Hmm I wonder why the "Italian" stuff
I'm not saying this was a reason for their demise, as I know diddly squat about Colombian cuisine, but why emphasize Italian when I'm sure there are plenty of other places all around that claim to be Italian American.
Tipical food?
Is "Colombian Tipical Food" anything like typical? Normal, average?
How's your Spanish?
A plato tipico is a dish that represents the country it's from. I only ate there once, didn't get that dish, so don't know what's in it, but I also know not to make fun of people's English, except maybe for people who know better.
You know Normie, the spanish word for typical is
tipico which was coined by general Custer in his victory over the Spanish at the battle of tipicanoe.
lol
you fucking wish you were average
