Narcobollo
A Caribbean snack brand originating from Cartagena; the Barranquilla branch is known for its affordable snacks like handmade arepas de huevo and bollos.
The restaurant's name stems from an anti-drug search in Cartagena in 1989, where police only found hundreds of bollos in the shop, giving the brand its name, which later expanded to multiple cities. A 2023 column in El Tiempo considered the Barranquilla branch to be the best of all locations, recommending the handmade arepas de huevo, chicharrón with yuca and suero costeño, yuca bollo, and cayeye for breakfast. It features self-service ordering and budget-friendly prices, with single items costing about 3,500-9,700 COP at the time. Ideal for breakfast or a quick meal, it is located on Avenida 20 de Julio, and taking a taxi is recommended.
