The initiative is led by Doña Carmen, a renowned chef from Cáqueza who has been in the snack bar business for over 46 years.

Her career began in her hometown, but her fame was consolidated in Bogotá thanks to her participation in gastronomic events such as Corferias , where she was recognized as number one in her specialty.

Today, she seeks to keep this tradition alive with the support of the new generations of her family, who accompany her in running the restaurant.

Each dish is prepared following the original recipe, allowing customers to enjoy an authentic experience without leaving the city.

The picada de Cáqueza, which for years was known mainly by travelers traveling the road to Llano , has become an increasingly popular dish in the capital.
