The Take
La Mordida delivers real-deal bandeja paisa and lomo saltado with solid meat portions, yet the default fryer treatment on tacos, empanadas, and sides pulls the whole menu into mid territory.
The margarita bar and late-night focus make it clear this is more about drinking than clean execution of the Colombian-Peruvian fusion the vibrant decor promises.
The Verdict
The kitchen can execute grilled proteins well when asked, but the menu defaults and bar emphasis keep it from rising above convenient strip-mall fare.
Order the ceviche or churrasco chimichurri and skip all fries.
