The Flavors That
Made Us a Tampa Tradition
At La Perrada Colombiana, every recipe carries a piece of our heritage. From iconic street food favorites to comforting family meals passed down through generations, our menu celebrates the traditions, flavors, and culture that have brought people together in Colombia for decades. These are the dishes that have helped make us a Tampa tradition for more than 25 years.
Bandeja Paisa
A Taste of Antioquia
Few dishes represent Colombia as completely as Bandeja Paisa. Originating in the Antioquia region, this generous meal was created to fuel hardworking farmers through long days while bringing families together around the table.
Served with beans, rice, beef, chicharrón, chorizo, sweet plantain, avocado, egg, and arepa, every ingredient reflects the rich culinary traditions of Colombia. At La Perrada Colombiana, our Bandeja Paisa is more than one of our signature dishes. It's a celebration of our heritage and the flavors that remind so many of home.
Salchipapas
The Street Food That Started It All
Long before La Perrada Colombiana became a restaurant, Colombian street food inspired our journey. Salchipapas have long been one of Colombia's favorite late-night meals, combining crispy fries, sliced sausage, and flavorful sauces into a simple but unforgettable dish.
Today, we honor that tradition with everything from the classic recipe to our loaded creations, each made with the same fun, bold flavors that define Colombian street food culture.
El Pibe
The Ultimate Colombian Hot Dog
Inspired by the famous Colombian "perro caliente," El Pibe takes a simple hot dog and transforms it into a true street food experience.
Layered with chicken, bacon, cheese, pineapple tidbits, potato chips, and our signature sauces, it's the perfect balance of sweet, savory, crunchy, and satisfying. Built for sharing, celebrations, and late-night cravings, El Pibe captures the energy and creativity that make Colombian street food unlike anything else.
Sancocho de Res
A Tradition Made to Share
In Colombia, Sancocho isn't simply a meal. It's a reason for family and friends to gather.
Our slow-cooked Sancocho de Res is prepared with rich flavors and hearty ingredients that bring warmth and comfort to every bowl. Whether enjoyed during a special occasion or an ordinary weekend, it reflects the hospitality and togetherness found in Colombian homes across the country.
Arepa Corrida
Colombian Comfort in Every Bite
The arepa has been a staple of Colombian cuisine for generations, enjoyed every day in homes across the country.
Our Arepa Corrida takes this beloved classic to another level with melted cheese, shredded chicken and beef simmered in traditional hogao, and crispy chicharrón on top. Every bite brings together familiar flavors that celebrate the comfort, creativity, and richness of Colombian cooking.
