Bites 2013: Ajiaco

Colombian flavors abound at Café Corto, perhaps most beautifully in this potato and chicken soup thickened by crema Mexicana and flavored with garden herbs including guasca, a potato weed. In go avocado and capers, a corn-on-the-cob segment and an addictive arepa — a sweet, creamy corn cake — for dipping. Ask for a side ramekin of aji, a spicy oil-and-vinegar-based pepper sauce. Eat, repeat. ($6, seasonal specialty)
