I recently discovered The Colombian Spot on Forbes Ave, and I must say, it’s a gem! 🌟 The empanadas were absolutely delicious, and pairing them with fresh mango juice made for a perfect lunch. I also couldn't resist the sweet plantains with cheese - simply heavenly!

While the dining area is cozy, it feels more suited for takeout since seating is limited. If you’re looking for a quick bite near the University of Pittsburgh, this spot is a must-try! The prices are refreshing too; you won’t break the bank. I'll definitely be back! 😊
