If you're a visitor looking for a unique local gem, this is it. Go downstairs into the underground floor of the Mercado Anton Martin, and in one of the middle aisles you'll see this place- Majo's Food. It's managed by the most adorable couple-husband from Italy, wife from Columbia. And boy do they know how to do food. I ordered the garbanzos con truffle ovo, and it was a burst of rich and satisfying flavor.
I think the best part of this place is the experience though. You get the feeling that this is not the type of place that tourists frequent. Crammed into a small space, each booth seems to be rubbing elbows with the next one.

Say hello to the proprietors if you go! read more
