Do you ever get bored with food? It’s easy to get into routines in life, even with what we eat. That’s where fusion cuisine comes in to save the day, and there’s a unique fusion restaurant in South Carolina called Fusion Cocina Latina you should definitely try when your tastebuds are screaming for something new and different!

Fusion Cocina Latina is located in a shopping center in the “International Corridor” at 1945 Decker Boulevard and is the place to go for great Latin food.

Inside, the atmosphere is comfortable, warm, and friendly, making guests feel at home.

Start with pizza empanadas, or there are many other empanada options if you prefer, including beef, chicken, shrimp, pork, or guava and cheese! Guava is a tropical fruit.

For your main course, there is a good variety of choices on the menu, such as Monfongo Fusion, which is fried green plantains mashed with garlic, and olive oil, then shaped into a ball and served with your favorite meat ….

… or Colombian Bandeja Paisa, which is out of this world. The beans are flavorful and the steak is so tender.

There are also specials day to day to choose from. Doesn't this look delicious?

The shrimp cocktail special has a fun presentation, too.

Or there’s always a sample platter if you just can’t decide. This is the Picada, a rockstar best seller of a selection!

They also have sandwiches, including the best Cuban in town.

And then there’s dessert … tres leches, anyone? Oh, yum!!

Or flan and the chocolate cake looks delicious, too.

When the weather is warm, definitely have some paleta.

And … our foodie bucket list just grew by one. If you’re visiting the Columbia area to eat here, be sure to head over to Main Street to check out one of South Carolina’s best main streets.
