Ajiaco and Tostones Anchor a Cozy Park Slope Table

Fifth Avenue in Park Slope runs long on brunch spots and wine bars, and a compact Colombian kitchen turning out ajiaco and tostones feels like a welcome outlier. The room is small and warm, blue-trimmed out front, with a patio that opens when the weather cooperates. The chicken ajiaco arrives thick with corn, potato, and a green tangle of guascas, the kind of soup that turns a cold night around. Crispy tostones land golden and salted, waiting for a squeeze of lime. Portions lean generous, built for sharing across a crowded table, and a steady crowd of regulars keeps the kitchen humming most nights. Order the ajiaco, add an arepa, and let the plates pile up.
