La Chiva Colombian Lonchera 🇨🇴

🇨🇴 COLOMBIA Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles: The lonchera hides off busy Atlantic Avenue in this part of Long Beach (actual a cut-out of Signal Hill), but is unmissable to anyone headed to and from Target. The brilliant Colombian flag reflects sunshine down the entire block. Stepping up to the truck is almost overwhelming, as the entire restaurant menu is available including breakfasts served all day once they open each morning.

The pork, beans, and the plantain were my favorite part of the meal.

Fresh food, delicious and the portions were enough for lunch and dinner. I love the beans!! I'm Belizean so I was happy to see plantains on the menu. They tend to have a line and the wait for your food is about 20 minutes. Next time I'll order ahead for pickup. But, it was worth the wait.

Elvin & Maria have very good customer service. Today I enjoyed the Arepa con queso and chicharrón, Patacones and empanadas. Everything was super delicious and well prepare. I definitely coming back. ❤️

My wife and I tried LaChiva last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed their food. It definitely is a level above everyone else. The empanadas were amazing, as well as the platonos and chicken and rice dish. We will be going again soon!
