As many of you probably already know, I’m a lover of all different types of cuisines. From Indian to Mediterranean to Ghanaian to Puerto Rican, I love a good meal. And when you’re in arguably the biggest melting pot in the world-New York City-it’s all at your fingertips. Come with me as I go on an epic Colombian food tour of Queens, New York!
For this adventure, I met up with my friend Diana, who is from Colombia and lives in Jackson Heights, Queens. Jackson Heights is a super diverse neighborhood where roughly 300 different languages and dialects are spoken!
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/stores/davids-b...
We started at Cositas Ricas, a popular traditional Colombian-style diner where we started with some tintico, or a small black Colombian coffee. It tasted almost like an Americano. Colombians drink several of them per day! They also have a bar there!
Then, we jumped on the Desayuno Montañero, or Mountain Feast. It contains eggs, hash browns, arroz con frijoles, fried plantains, chicharron, some picante sauce, and an arepa. The chicharrones were crunchy and fatty!
Next, we put some eggs and the spicy sauce on the arepa. I loved the crumbly white cheese on the thin and crispy corn arepa. The vegetables in the red beans and rice where also great! I loved the green scallions in it and the chorizo on the side.
The maduro, or sweet plantains, practically melted in my mouth. It’s a big meal, so I suggest splitting it with someone!
Next, we walked to La Pequeña Colombia, the oldest Colombian restaurant in the city. It’s a more formal restaurant and has Colombian music playing inside. We started with hot chocolate and white cheese. You put the cheese in the hot chocolate and wait for it to melt!
We also had agua panela, or sugarcane water, which is super sweet. It was a little different from the sugarcane juice I get in India. You can add the cheese to it, too. Both are eaten as a midday snack!
My cheese didn’t really melt, but I loved it with the cacao-rich hot chocolate! It was a unique combination.
Then, we had a huge tamal, a mini arepa, and empanadas. Colombian empanadas are made with corn flour, and are different from other types of empanada. These contained shredded beef. They came with a spicy green sauce and salsa rosada, which is mayo mixed with ketchup.
These tamales are wrapped in banana leaves. This one contained pork, nice seasonings, and carrots. It was so chunky and dense. It’s a common brunch meal on Sundays!
We continued down the restaurant strip, where you’ll see lots of street vendors. We continued into a quiet suburb-like area and walked 5 minutes to La Arepa Lady. They made us two different arepas!
I had some passionfruit juice while Diana enjoyed lulo juice. Mine was so refreshing and the lulo was very sweet! Next was black coffee and 4 different arepas: stuffed, choclo, sweetened, and arepa de tela.
They came with pineapple, rosada, garlic, hot, and la lechera sauces. The first one was sweet and reminded me of a Venezuelan cachapa. I loved the spicy sauce and pineapple sauce on it.
The sweet arepa with chorizo was good, but the first one was still my favorite. The Arepa de Tela was amazing with the pork and it had a soft but crunchy texture.
Finally, the stuffed arepa contained meat and cheese. The beef was tender and moist, and the arepa was soft and doughy. It was a meat and cheese overload! It was so delicious. The pineapple sauce was a game changer!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. For the last 13 years, I have traveled the world in search of unique culture, food, and history! Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have explored over 1,200 destinations in 84 countries, which I welcome you to check out on my UA-cam channel, travel blog, and social media.
I focus a great deal on food and historical sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning about the local culture.
P.S. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing!
Love this! She makes the food sound so appetising and is proud of her culture.
this video deserves to be seen by all Colombians!!
Always bringing best content and educating us sitting at home about people cultures and food …
Delicious Colombian food
That big tamales, I'm 🇵🇷 and would like to try this .
YOU ARE LIVING WELL MY FRIEND! AMAZING COLUMBIAN FOOD! 👍
Yummy 😋😋😋
I love Colombian 🇨🇴 food 🥘 💯💯💯
Colombia. No U. 👍 🥳
@@pattyrobles7324Me too last time I had Colombian food was when i was on Long Island in 2010.
Why i’m so exciting just watching you eat???
Mee too
Looks delicious
You need to there right now!!!!
Lol, i wish i could
Bro you must try Amritsari chole bhature. Highly flavourful and most loved Punjabi dish in India. You'd love it.
Panela basically sounds very much like jaggery water. In India and Pakistan we make cold drinks with jaggery water- gurh sharbat or cook rice in it - gurh ke chawal. Never seen a hot drink made of jaggery. Very interesting.
Awesome video loved it!!❤️
Thank you David for showing us all the Beautiful culture of different tribes
I've had a lot of empanadas before but by far my favorite is Colombian empanadas! The texture and taste of the shell are just so unique and chewy but crisp - amazing! Gotta respect how David is fluent in Spanish too - always get a kick out of that. Tinto and arepas or empanadas = best breakfast (or midday snack) lol.
I believe his mother is Venezuelan so it is obvious his mom would teach him her language besides English
David Bro most of the time your benchmark for the Food is always India..Thanks for your love towards India and Indian food..Much love👍❤️
He has taught me and I guess many other people how to eat Indian food what to order and about the culture and to respect the country
Absolutely fantastic. More of South American content please.
Love that you came to Queens 💕 Jackson heights has great people and food !
David you are amazing!!👏😍
There's a reason I love visiting Miami, the diversity.

*Lovely co-host in today's video, David, and I liked your rapport/chemistry together - nice. -Would be terrifically fun and interesting if , at some point, you have a kind of " reunion" with some of your co-hosts - but in a terrific location - London, Kyoto, etc. I still remember your co-host in Brazil (liked him a lot, as well your rapport too) . Anyway, this lovely woman in today's video, would be a wonderful addition to that kind of reunion. Thank you, David. Always fun and textured adventures on the screen.
I love "your love for India" David, irrespective of any countries food you talk you always mentioned India, God bless you Buddy..keep growing

Correction: That restaurant she took hiim to, is ONE of only TWO Colombian restaurants that is not your typical roasted chicken or bread store. There are not that many Colombain restaurants ( Only 2 ) despite having 400 thousand Colombains in the city.

Lol. Somehow I feel he is still thinking of Indian food.
Well he only has to walk a few blocks to enjoy Indian food.

You should comment about the Brazilian pastéis.Remember when you went to Brazil?um abraço mister.
Brazil
"Coffee has some health benefits too, though too ,much caffeine is not good! "
Since you were in Jackson Heights you should have tried some authentic Bangladeshi food. Guaranteed you are going to love Inshallah.
I would definitely love the food
@@crabmusic1 you definitely will
David miss India come ASAP
Very very nice videos ☺️ danb
I swear if my favorite places start getting packed Bc everyone and their moms start coming to my hood I’m gonna be TIGHT.
Try to visit Ethiopian restaurants
Why don't you go to PUERTO RICO is the best foods and the desserts are champ!!
😁Now, David, This is WORSE...I mean your partner. ..
The fact that you spelled Colombian right is already reason to watch. Then I can read through the comments and watch the spelling still be butchered even though you have it spelled correctly IN CAPS!
Or you could have a life and not worry about irrelevant spelling mistakes in YT comment section and just enjoy the video lil
@@Dan_Sterling Thanks. I'm glad you took the time from your active schedule to comment on a no life having you tube commenter to educate me. I don't know how to ever repay your wise words.
@@Dan_Sterling Thank you night sweet
@@Dan_Sterling FYI, people have been consistently misspelling "Colombia" for ages, and it is quite a valid comment/grievance among fellow Colombians.
Columbia University
Nice As Always! Only the background noise during the first scenes are really annoying..
Omg you have some pork , beans n egg at the 1sr restaurant...n them eat some hot chocolate with cheese n a tamal in the second....did u finish with a fcking diarrea later???? 😳😱😱
I’m a big sausage guy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and the look on Diana’s face 😂😂😂I’m sorry guys but can’t keep it for myself. Love your videos. Uk is watching you ❤️💕
A big sausage guy u can't think wrong
Eat nepali food only for a day🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
That is not a Colombian neighborhood anymore Lol it used to be though.. and there only a few left
I would agree, but atleast from the 80s to the 90s street Colombians are back in Jackson hts.
Vivo muuuuuchos años en jackson hts y NO hay un buen café en ninguna parte por lo tantooo ????? Lo q han hecho es más chicos los vasos y subir el precio
But no deep fried arepa de huevo?!
ممكن تنوروني الله ينور عليكم
pitbull went on a food tour
Jajaja la lechera es una leche dulce Mexicana jajajaja todo se toman como suyo
Ladrones!
Don't forget Cumbia. (} :=
This arapa looks like pizza
The white sauce she forgot the name is called TARTARA and is a classic on fast food. Not hating But there’s more “Colombian” Colombian people than her David. Doesn’t have the right vibes.
And lots of happy ending places it’s all infested with rats and trash would never eat anything there
It's a fruit hunny...
The food cheers is getting old. Especially not wise in a Covid environment. No double dipping David with others sharing.
Fake
south Indian biryani eat bro then u r telling
Eat spicy Indian food
Doesn’t your wife get offended you eating off of all these other people?
why would she? If you don't collaborate these videos wouldn't work.
You are the man brother 🤙
Colombian food is very good but Colombian women not so much.
