Cali Aji Con Sabor Restaurant

This longtime East Elmhurst fixture operates as a bustling hole-in-the-wall spot where the same familiar faces have served the neighborhood for years. Because dishes are prepared fresh, expect a 15-minute wait for your food like the massive carne asada, which is easily large enough for two. The space is highly compact with very limited seating, meaning it fills up quickly and parking nearby is scarce. For those willing to wait, the reward is an extensive menu of Colombian classics available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
