La Mulata

Walking into La Mulata is like walking into a super stylish dorm room.  Cool graphic logo stares down from the wall, utilitarian wooden furniture has been painted in bright primary colors, and the floor is a checkerboard of black and white tiles. Thankfully, the kitchen is turning out gourmet versions of classic Caribbean meals, not cafeteria food.  Each day of the week has its own lunch menu with three set main course options, including seafood and meat dishes. Each remarkably affordable selection includes a bowl of homemade soup and their homemade lemonade is a must in the Caribbean heat. This is the best place to try thoughtfully prepared Colombian Caribbean food in a bustling setting along with local workers and clued-in visitors.
