Steak - no doubt EP. Larger, juicier, thicker cut here. LC has 2 thinish strips
Chicharron - LC wins here because this is what I imagine the chicharron to look like. Straight pork rind with individual pieces all fried up. Great and perhaps a touch better with the chimmichurri sauce
Chorizo - LC by default (and it is really good nonetheless). I don't think EP even includes it if I remember correctly
Rice - LC only because they put the beans on the side. This means that the rice can absorb good stuff like pork fat, beef grease, and egg
Egg - LC by default again
Plantains - sweet ones at both. Not fried. I like both and would be deal breaker without.
Salad - LC had better dressing only because I remember it. EP is non memorable so I will go with LC here (and no onions either)
Beans - both include them. Ok
Boiled potato - EP has it so they win by default. Not flavorful, uneventful
Yucca - EP has it so they win by default. Not flavorful, uneventful
Avocado - extra side at both. Not ranked. It is good
Atmosphere - both have the spanish music playing and not many gringos at all. Authentic in my book. EP is cash only. No bien. LC is the choice here due to credit card acceptance
Wow for the longest time I thought I liked EP better. Side by side comparison shows otherwise though. Will have to keep that in mind for future Colombian meals. There it is...buen provecho!!
