La Urraca Mexican & Colombian Food — Restaurant in Albuquerque

Delicious authentic Colombian food at very reasonable prices with friendly staff in a small establishment convenient to UNM. Large menu of items both Colombian and Mexican, but we only tried the Colombian ones the first time we came.

We were hopeful that this place would be decent since there are very few places to get Colombian food in Albuquerque and they seemed to have a more extensive menu than most.

The yuca fries were quite soft and delicious, with a little crispiness of the exterior. While the arepa con queso was oversalted, it was soft and delicious filled with creamy melted cheese.

This is my second time eating here and the food is delicious! The chicken has so much flavor and the staff is so friendly. The first time, I ordered a chicken arepa, a lulo juice, and yuca fries. Because I can't do dairy, they were nice enough to make an arepa without cheese (though the dough is usually full of cheese). The second time I ordered a chipotle chicken burrito and a blackberry juice and it, once again, was soooo flavorful and tasty! Excited to come back to try something else. Here are pictures from my fiancé's carne asada arepa. Look at...
