"There is no better place in Bogota to enjoy this traditional soup that warms the cockles on the chilliest of days."
"Begin with tradition, by sampling Bogotá’s signature dish at La Puerta Falsa, an unpretentious restaurant that has been serving up steaming bowls of ajiaco in La Candelaria, Bogotá’s historic quarter, since 1816. It’s garnished with guascas, a Colombian herb, and is the perfect warmer on a rainy Bogotá afternoon."
"Eat some delicious Ajiaco soup at La Puerta Falsa (highly recommend)."
"A family-sized steaming bowl, filled with a rich chicken broth, cubes of potatoes, disks of corn on the cob and slices of warm, buttery avocado was placed on the table. Along with free flowing red wine, it was the most delicious meal."
"Check out La Puerta Falsa in the Candelaria for a delicious ajiaco."

"This is the oldest restaurant in Bogotá and thus has specialized in making and serving this soup which is one of the dishes that build the restaurant's reputation."
