La Fresa

One of Popayán’s must-do experiences is coming to this no-frills corner spot and ordering a plate of empanadas de pipián. These fried turnovers are made from corn and potatoes and are dipped into a mildly spicy peanut sauce. They’re tiny, so ordering at least a half dozen is essential, and a dozen won’t seem odd.
