Most ingredients I think are widely available, so look for recipes and DIY!

Yes, but don't let the rookies play with your ingredients because you may end up with a big headache and/or indigestion.

I know a paisa restaurant that every time I stop by, well I used to stop by, and order a guanabana con leche and every single time the damn juice would tastes different, too much sugar, not enough fruit, not enough milk, yes, even a simple fruit juice can be screwed up especially if the drink is made by different waitress/waiters or someone else without a clue.

BillyB---I have a good one 3 blocks from the Condo as well as a couple good cuban restuarants. The truth be told, the Cuban eateries offer the best deal for the $$.

Colombian cooking takes longer to prepare, take for example the tamal and its preparation, also some of the ingredients are imported from Colombia, ie Lulo fruit.
I paid for my dinner $22
1. Tamal Valluno
1 Sopa de Patacones, small
1 Mora con Leche
2 Empanadas de carne

Actually there is a great Colombian restaurant on Miami Beach that is Colombian owned and staffed and NOT shi shi, it is a mom and pop place along with a counter and few tables. To food, empanadas and soups are so fantastic that it is the best Colombia hallucination I have come across here. It is always packed with pretty much Just Colombians so it must be good. They rotate a daily soup that is always so good! Called MI Colombia 71st street and Indian Creek!

GregYohn, you need to go through boot camp in Colombian food and cooking because that stuff that posted does not look too Colombian!
