The empanadas are the reliable order, and the papas rellenas are the Colombian specialty that make this Albany Park spot worth seeking out specifically.

Doña Olga and don Alfredo, a couple from Boyacá, Colombia, opened it on Montrose with their kids Andrés, Johan and Cecilia about nine years ago, and it's still a family operation that runs as a bakery, a breakfast counter and a pizzeria all at once, every day from 7am to 9pm. Mornings belong to the Colombian regulars: calentado with eggs and arepa, tamales Valle del Cauca style, changua, tinto and agua de panela, with cases of fresh bread doing half the selling for you. Then the menu widens into empanadas in four fillings, papas rellenas, aborrajados with guava and cheese, chorizo and chicharron with arepa, and fresh juices like lulo, maracuya and guanabana. And yes, there's pizza, in thin crust or deep dish, including Colombian-style pies like the Hawaiian, pollo con champiñones and a tropical version with cherries, raisins, plum and pineapple that will start an argument at your table.

Desserts run to alfajores, milhojas and brevas con arequipe. It's cheap, it's warm, and the family's own line is that this is the best corner of Colombia in Chicago. A second location now runs on Irving Park Road, too.
