MIAMI.- An invitation to enjoy home-cooked food. The same food that mom and grandma prepared every day in the cocinawithout preservatives and full of freshness. This is the invitation made by Las Caleitas Restaurant & Bakery, a new gastronomic proposal located in the city of Doral which opened its doors just five months ago.
This place is a tribute to the tradition of Colombian cuisine. In fact, our raw material mostly comes from Colombiaeven the vegetables, Juan Gutiérrez, owner of the restaurant, told DIARIO LAS AMRICAS.
Celebrating the cuisine of the Cauca Valley, Las Caleitas Restaurant & Bakery offers an experience in which any diner, regardless of their country of origin, can immerse themselves in the magic of homemade flavors. Hence its name, Las Caleitas, which evokes and pays tribute to Colombian grandmothers, mothers and aunts, who fill childhood with love and flavor with their traditional meals.
The tribute to Las Caleitas is even found in our decoration and atmosphere. It is a spacious, rustic, fine restaurant, with modern touches and very comfortable. And we designed it that way because even though we wanted to offer homemade and Creole food, we did not want its atmosphere to be that of a typical Colombian restaurant. On the contrary, we wanted to celebrate our traditions in style and I think that was reflected in the concept that, although it is modern and innovative, offers a warm, friendly and homely atmosphere, added Juan Gutiérrez.
