Todo Riko — Restaurant in Quindío

This is located right at the centre near the Plaza de Bolivar.

I went here three times. The first time I accidentally ordered trout with cheese, the other time a vegetarian burger and fries, and the last time - garlic trout. Reasonable prices for being in such a prime location.

GARLIC TROUT WITH CHEESE- 4/5 I ordered the Garlic Trout. It comes in a griddle and it’s super hot! But I misunderstood the waitress as I don’t speak Spanish and accidentally said yes to adding cheese. WHOOPS. Well, this was SMOTHERED in cheese. Normally I absolutely love cheese, but I don’t like it with fish. So I didn’t end up finishing my meal, but that was because of my misunderstanding rather than any issue with taste.

It’s a whole fish - head and all. It tastes great. But I have now learned that trout has small bones, so just keep that in mind and be alert when eating. And also, I’d forgo the cheese next time.

It also comes with a plantain crisp chip which is massive. And it also comes with rice and salsa. It is a massive portion - I would share this to be honest as it was too much for me alone.

VEGETARIAN BURGER - 3/5 The vegetarian burger is MASSIVE. It’s a generous portion. The bread and cheese was great. But I found that the lentil patty was just okay. And the caramelized mushrooms seemed like canned mushrooms, and I’m not a huge fan.

But the fries are good. And the coke is also great - in the glass bottles, which I find just tastes better. Best fries I had so far and would go back just for those.

The service was also great when I went for my burger. Very kind waiter. Seemed to know vegan / vegetarian differences and flagged for me that the burger bun has milk in it. He also realized I didn’t speak Spanish and put on an English Channel for their TV, which he absolutely didn’t have to do, but it was kind of him.

GARLIC TROUT 3/5 The reason I didn’t like this much was because it was fried and very oily and heavy. I thought it would be grilled - my bad. But if you like fried foods, you...

In search of some good, simple Colombian fare? This is it! I selected the plantain stuffed (madurito) with shredded beef, corn, cheese and bacon. This was a new one for me and I thought it was great! I had a coconut lemonade which was good, very coconuty.

I was in search of tasty local food and this place was filled with Colombians which suggested it was good. I was right!

I shared my table with a fun, friendly Colombian family and we had a great time. We laughed, shared stories and became friends. This made the restaurant...

Waited 45 minutes for the trout and the burger (wich took long enough to order), only for them to tell us that they did not have any trout anymore. By the time they told us almost all the restaurants in town were closed. I’m not quick to leave a bad review but the service in this place is just rediculous. There is many other options for nice restaurants in Salento, so in my...
