Description

Colombian food is hearty fare, and Medellin -- an attractive restaurant on the edge of Coral Springs -- is no exception. The platos tipicos are loaded with meaty, starchy indulgence. Bandeja paisa, Colombia's national dish, is represented here with a thin-pounded steak and choice of chicharron (fried pork skin) or chorizo (spicy sausage), plus a fried egg, guacamole, and a dumptruck's worth of rice and stewed red beans. The only thing missing: a pillow for the nap you'll need afterwards. Empanadas are great here, and come with a rustic green onion salsa and are filled with cheese, chicken, or beef with rice. The fusion comes into play in plates of garlic- and wine-marinated grilled chicken (with equally huge portions), or huge filets of red snapper smothered in vibrant criollo sauce. The most expensive entree costs $17, and there are plenty of sandwiches, salads, and cheap lunch options too, meaning Medellin leaves your wallet as full as your stomach.
