Macondo

Macondo, the delightful Latin American café that used to sit on Travis, has relocated right around the corner to 917 Franklin. The restaurant whose name is inspired by the author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, boasts a menu of tasty Latin fusion dishes with a strong influence of Columbian cuisine. Our favorites are the migas on an English muffin with a delicious cup of Columbian coffee for breakfast!
