Dog Days at the Cacique Mall Bucaramanga

As soon as you step into Cacique Mall, you’ll notice something special: Colombians clearly love their furry friends! Dogs are welcome companions here, strolling alongside their humans and soaking up the A/C. It feels like pups are practically part of the family.

Nature in the Midst of Shopping

One thing that really caught my eye was the fuse of nature throughout the mall. Real trees and plants create a calming atmosphere, making you almost forget you’re indoors. It’s a nice touch that adds a breath of fresh air (literally!) to the shopping experience.

Car Spotting with a Colombian Twist

Now, who doesn’t love a little car spotting? This sleek gray car definitely grabbed my attention. But between you and me, I’m not the biggest car expert. Is it an Audi? A Jeep? Let me know in the comments if you can recognize the make and model!

Food Court Feast: Finding the Best Bites

Alright, my stomach is starting to rumble! The food court at Cacique Mall offers a dizzying array of options. Here’s my tip for navigating all those choices: Don’t just rely on the star ratings. Head to Google Maps and read the reviews too.

Sometimes ratings can be misleading, but reviews offer real customer insights. Also, be sure to check the “most recent” filter to get the latest scoop on which restaurants are the real deal.

Following my own advice, I decided to try the bistec (steak) at Mercagán Parrilla. Based on the Google reviews it sounds legit, so let’s put it to the test!

Foodie Notes from Colombia

Okay, time to chow down! The meal was delicious, but here’s a heads-up for my fellow steak lovers: Don’t assume the cooking measurements are the same here as in the States. In my experience, a “medium” steak in Colombia leans more towards medium-well.

So, if you prefer your steak on the pinker side, be specific when you order.

Every culture has its quirks, and this is a friendly tip to ensure you get exactly what you crave. Because hey, a good meal is important, no matter where you are in the world.
