This tiny and quite simple place has been in business since the 19^th Century and is considered the oldest eating venue in town. No longer a well-kept secret, you are likely to see quite a few foreigners looking for traditional Colombian food. But, La Puerta Falsa is still the darling of locals who frequent it for some of the best tamales wrapped in banana leaf or the very traditional Colombian soup called ajiaco (usually prepared with chicken, corn and potatoes). The menu offers plenty of other choices, including good coffee, many sweets and the regional chocolate with cheese. It is located in the city center, by the Cathedral, and is usually very busy.
