I came back to Virginia at the end of 2001.  Having been here before, and learned the military wife way of El Desorden LogoEl Desorden Frontmaking friends quickly, I was glad to be back in Hampton Roads, ( Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, Hampton and Williamsburg.)  I even loved my house that eventually got to small for us. But, one of the happiest times regarding Hampton Road's that made me feel this is home was  when my husband came home with the news that they were opening a Colombian Restaurant.  That same night we went to check it out, and it turned to be still work in progress.  They offered us FREE morcillas and arepas.  Humm.  Since then, they have done a few changes with the menu, but the food continues to be pretty good.  They have two large screen TV where they have Colombian TV all the time, and on futbol ( soccer season ) They play the games.  These brings so many memories.  El desorden theme

The decorations are still simple, but do remind me of a simple restaurant in a small town In Colombia where they have the best home cooked meals.

El Desordenrecently received their liquor license, so you can have your choice of alcohol drinks.  They also carry Colombian beer and Aguardiente ( Firewater ). I absolutely love their fruit juices, not smoothies, fruit juices that take me back to my childhood.

El Desorden has great weekly specials for a very affordable price $7.00 I have been there every day of the week, and they are all good.  I called today, and they are in the process of changing their menu.  It sounds all good, still very Colombian.

Their chicken rice is great, and all of their desserts are very tasty. If you don't know anything about Colombian food, don't think Mexican, it's nothing like it.  Try a simple empanada, or any of their appetizers.

The only suggestion that I have for the owners is to bring the baked goods.  When they do, I will blog about them.

Hi Tere, Sounds like a great place to eat. How can you beat the specials at $7.00?  Sounds delicious.

I had my first Arepa a couple of weeks ago but it was at a Venezuelan restaurant.

Now I am hungry.  I don't believe we have any Colombian restaurants here...

Hmm, I have never had a Venezuelan arepa, but each area has their own version of it.
