Ajiacos y Mondongos — Restaurant in Medellín

The soups are great, can't argue that. There are three options: ajiaco, mondongo, and cazuela de frijoles; all traditional Colombian soups. I had the traditional ajiaco soup. Here is the downside, they offer you sizes medium or large, we got the large. With that said, this was a kiddy soup. This soup will probably be best for an 8 year old. If you ever eaten at a local Colombia restaurant and have had the "almuerzo corriente", you know the starter soup?, this soup is about the same size.

I was still hungry after eating the ajiaco because of how small the bowl and portion was. I would serve my 10 year old daughter the size soup I was served but not a grown man who is 40 + years old. These were skimpy child size portions, like the size of a soup you would get for a...
