The Take
Mega Empanadas Las Chinitas serves one standout item worth the trip: the giant empanada stuffed with Chinese-style fried rice. Everything else on the minimal menu is filler.
The deep-fried dough delivers classic Bogotá street volume at a low price, but the fusion rice bomb signals cheap novelty rather than any culinary upgrade. Javeriana students buy it to stretch a few pesos across a heavy, greasy meal.
The Verdict
The giant arroz chino empanada is the only logical play here. Smaller or random fillings waste the single-item menu's narrow strength.
Order the signature rice bomb, split it if possible, and move on. Avoid everything else until the kitchen proves it can vary the formula without losing the size advantage.
