Hornitos Modelia — Restaurant in Bogota, Capital District

The service is pretty much non-existent. We had to wait 10 min before finally flagging down someone so we could even glance at a menu.

I've visited many locations, all with great attention, all very clean, all very delicious, it is a cruel irony that the place Im staying at is...

I loved it. I am always pleased to find Eggs Benedict. While the sauce is not really hollandaise sauce, the eggs were pretty good. Funny thing is they call it Dutch Breakfast, I suppose they may believe the dish is dutch as Holland because of hollandaise sauce. LOL Interesting useless fact: Eggs Benedict were created in NYC's Delmonico's and christened after a...
