Modern Mexican in Bogota's trendy Macarena neighborhood. Your evening begins with a choice of delicious cocktails-- we recommend the jalapiña. At the same time, the bilingual head chef and owner will ask you about food preferences and allergies. She will explain that there is no menu at Agave Azul, and that you will be sent course after course until you tell her to stop (it's a hard decision, because you will want to know what comes next as your belly is bursting). Selections vary according what is fresh, available, and in season. The atmosphere is clean and cozy. Don't miss the special place. One of Bogota's best restaurants!

La Taperia is the big cousin of the Tapas Macarena, with the same Dutch/Colombian owner. The menu is very similar and very delicious. We each chose two tapas and placed them in the middle of the table to share. The bread with brie and caramelized onions is a must. Keep in mind that they don't serve dessert here, but there are plenty of options nearby. The atmosphere is casual and friendly.

Everything feels like Cuba in this is new Zona Rosa restaurant. Don't miss out on the moros y cristianos (rice with black beans, but so much better than it sounds). All of the seafood is delish, so it's hard to recommend any dish specifically. Just promise to order a mojito. It comes with a sugar cane stick! Atmosphere is lively- good for dates and large groups.
