Shredded chicken · avocado · lime
Hand-folded · crispy · savory
Every recipe carries the spirit of a Colombian home kitchen — bold flavors, honest ingredients, and a whole lot of love.
Grilled corn cakes split open and stuffed with your choice of shredded beef, chicken, black beans, or the legendary Reina Pepiada — chicken and avocado with a squeeze of lime.
Our sancocho simmers for hours — a rich, aromatic soup loaded with tender meats, root vegetables, and fragrant herbs. It's the dish Colombians turn to when they need comfort.
Hand-folded and deep-fried to a perfect golden crisp. Each one is packed with seasoned ground beef, chicken, or cheese — served with our house-made ají sauce.
The ultimate Colombian feast — red beans, rice, chorizo, ground beef, a fried egg, sweet plantains, and avocado. Built for the hungriest appetite in the room.
Crispy green plantain discs smashed and fried twice, or sweet maduro caramelized to perfection. The ideal companion to any meal — or the star of a simple snack.
Refresh yourself with chicha morada — a sweet, spiced purple corn drink — or lulada, made from fresh lulo fruit. Both are classics you won't find anywhere else in town.
Colombia Pues was born from a simple conviction: the food of Colombia deserves a place at the table in Baton Rouge. We grew up around steaming pots of sancocho, the sound of a comal sizzling with fresh arepas, and Sunday lunches that stretched into the evening.
Every dish we serve is made the way it was made at home — from scratch, with ingredients we trust, and with the kind of attention that turns a meal into a memory. We're not a chain. We're not rushing. We're just a small kitchen in Old Hammond doing what we love.
Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for a long evening, we want you to feel at home.
Warm, casual, and always welcoming. Pull up a chair and let us take care of the rest.
Call ahead and pick up hot, fresh Colombian food on your way home. Your favorites, ready when you are.
Bring Colombian flavor to your next gathering. We cater parties, office events, and celebrations — custom menus available.
Found this place by accident and now it's my go-to lunch spot. The arepas are the real deal — nothing like anything I've had in Baton Rouge before.
The sancocho here reminds me exactly of what my abuela used to make. Thick, flavorful, and full of heart. This is comfort food at its finest.
Warm staff, generous portions, and flavors that transport you straight to Colombia. We ordered the bandeja and every single bite was perfect.
Whether you're craving arepas, sancocho, or something new to try, we're here and ready to serve.
