Authentic Colombian Food Just 3 Minutes from Disney
Want real Colombian food — not Americanized versions? [**World Food Trucks**](https://worldfoodtrucks.com) has multiple Colombian food trucks run by Colombian chefs who grew up on these recipes. They're located at [5805 W Irlo Bronson Hwy](https://worldfoodtrucks.com/location) in Kissimmee — just 3 minutes from Disney's main entrance. This is authentic street food, not touristy approximations.
Must-Try: Bandeja Paisa
**The dish:** A massive plate loaded with: - White rice - Black beans - Chicharrón (fried pork belly cuts) - Grilled beef or steak - Fried egg - Sweet plantains - Avocado - Corn on the cob - Arepa on the side **The experience:** This plate feeds 2 people easily, or 1 very hungry person. **Price:** $14–$16 **Why order it:** Because when you finish, you'll understand why Colombians are obsessed with this dish. It's the ultimate comfort food — protein, starch, vegetables, fruits, all in one.
Arepas: The Colombian Staple
**What it is:** A thick, griddled corn cake split open and stuffed with fillings. **Colombian arepa versions:** - **Arepa de queso** (cheese — simple perfection) - **Arepa de choclo** (sweet corn, topped with fresh cheese) - **Arepa con queso de mano** (hand-pulled mozzarella) - **Arepa rellena** (stuffed with beef, chicken, or beans) **Price:** $7–$12 per arepa **Pro tip:** Order one at a time, then come back for another flavor. Each one is different.
Colombian Empanadas
**Not the same as Venezuelan empanadas.** Colombian empanadas are: - Fried corn pastry (not wheat) - Smaller (fist-sized) - Crispy exterior, soft interior - Stuffed with ground beef or potato + cheese **Price:** $4–$6 each (buy 3 for $12) **Best with:** Salsa and fresh lime **Why you need these:** They're portable, addictive, and taste nothing like the frozen empanadas from a chain restaurant. **Find them at:** [Browse all Colombian vendors](https://worldfoodtrucks.com/vendors)
Patacones: Fried Plantains Done Right
**What it is:** Sliced green plantains, fried twice for maximum crispy-outside, soft-inside perfection. **How it's served:** Usually with guacamole and a small salsa on the side. **Price:** $8–$10 **When to get it:** As a side with your main dish, or as a snack while waiting for other orders. **Flavor profile:** Savory, slightly sweet from the plantain, amazing with guac. If you've only had fast-food fried food, this will change your mind about what "fried" can mean.
Colombian Hot Chocolate & Pastries
**For breakfast or evening snack:** 🍫 **Hot chocolate:** Dense, thick, amazing. Sometimes served with a chunk of cheese on top (sounds weird, tastes incredible) 🥐 **Pan de queso** (cheese bread): Airy, cheesy, perfect with coffee 🍰 **Buñuelos:** Fried dough puffs, sometimes dusted with cinnamon sugar **Price:** $3–$8 **Pro tip:** Get hot chocolate with pan de queso for a complete Colombian breakfast (and it's only $6–$8)
How to Order Like a Local
**Step 1:** Walk up to the Colombian truck and ask "¿Qué recomiendas?" (What do you recommend?) **Step 2:** Point at things. Truck owners expect this. **Step 3:** Say "Voy a probar..." (I'll try...) and name 2-3 items **Step 4:** Ask for it "Con todo" (With everything) — salsa, lime, extras **Step 5:** Eat, enjoy, come back for seconds **Speak Spanish?** Even better. Colombian food truck owners love chatting about their food. **Don't speak Spanish?** Point and smile — they understand tourists and are patient.
