Taste of Colombia | Our Story

Colombia Found a Home in Tahoe

What began with home cooking and a passion for sharing authentic Colombian food has grown into a restaurant serving South Lake Tahoe. Real Colombian cooking — smoky, bold, made from scratch landed in South Lake Tahoe, and it's exactly as rare and good as it sounds.

Colombian Food in a Mountain Town

Taste of Colombia began with a simple goal: to serve food that tastes like home. After two years of cooking and building a loyal following, we brought our family recipes to South Lake Tahoe and opened a place of our own.

The Recipes Behind Every Plate

Golden empanadas, layered bandeja paisa, smashed patacones — every dish is made the right way, no shortcuts.

Proven by Colombian Expats

Guests who grew up eating this food back home called it the real deal. That's the only review that matters.

Part of Something Bigger

We're one of eleven local restaurants inside Cascade Kitchens — Tahoe's first food hall, anchored by The Thirsty Bear.

Everyone's Welcome Here

Never tried a patacón? This is the perfect place to start — pull up a chair. Every plate is a warm welcome, whether you're discovering Colombian food for the first time or coming back for a taste of home.
