At El Carretero 66, the aroma of sizzling steaks and baking Colombian sweetbreads triggers visions of family panaderias, cups of café con leche, and vibrant salsa music. The staff chats animatedly in Spanish as they fold fresh meats and seafood into Colombian specialties, including empanadas, mondongo (beef tripe) soup, and lomo salteado (sautéed beef and peppers served with french fries). Meanwhile, bakers line the shelves of their panaderia with still-warm cheese breads, rich cakes, and rolls that are ready to melt the most stubborn of butters.
