About this spot
Andrés Carne de Res brings the chaotic, theatrical energy of Colombia's culinary king directly to Getsemani with a menu that feels like a family reunion gone wild. Expect to be dazzled by towering platters of fried pork belly (chicharrón) and spicy beef empanadas served alongside Andrés' signature yellow rice. The experience is as much about watching the owner's impromptu performances as it is about devouring his massive, shareable plates.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'plato del día' if you want to try a new local specialty without committing to a huge fixed-price set meal.
- Save room for the post-meal dessert buffet where you can sample multiple sweet treats like flan and turrón de DO.
- Dress comfortably in layers as the restaurant gets hot during shows, but keep your jacket handy for the air-conditioned dining rooms.
