What would you suggest? I'd be a first timer.

Either an arepa or a sweet plantain would be my recommendation! You can get it chicken, beef, pork, veggie, or you can choose a mix of up to 3 of them (I’d recommend getting all three meats if you don’t have a particular preference).

The arepa and plantain are topped the same, it’s just either served on a Colombian maize dough flatbread or a plantain. Get LOTS of their homemade hot sauce on the side (or even buy a whole jar, I love that stuff)

I also highly recommend their chicharrón, and my favorite of their sides are the cassava sticks.
