SOPAS - (World Famous Soups)*
Spanish Bean Soup
The soup that made the Columbia famous. The original recipe of Casimiro Hernandez, Sr. Garbanzo beans simmered with smoked ham, chorizo sausage and potatoes in a delicious broth of chicken and ham.

Caldo Gallego
As children we called this soup "Giant Soup", because we believed we would become a giant by eating it. Prepared in the traditional method used in the Northwestern section of Galicia, Spain. Great Northern beans simmered in a rich stock with smoked ham, chorizo sausage, turnip greens and potatoes.

Cuban Black Bean Soup
Frijoles Negros prepared exactly like our grandmother, Carmen Hernandez did. Served over a bed of white rice and topped with diced raw Spanish onions. 100% vegetarian.

Gazpacho Andaluz
Spain's famous cold soup of puree of ripe tomatoes, green peppers, onions, cucumbers and garlic. Topped tableside with finely diced vegetables and toasted Cuban croutons.

The Columbia's legendary salad tossed at your table. Crisp iceberg lettuce with julienne of baked ham, natural Swiss cheese, tomato, olives, grated Romano cheese and our famous garlic dressing (our 100 year old family recipe of fresh garlic, oregano, wine vinegar and Spanish extra virgin olive oil).

Beefsteak Tomato Salad
This was the favorite salad of our father, Cesar Gonzmart. Thick sliced beefsteak tomatoes, topped with sliced red onions, and crumbled Spanish Cabrales cheese. Served with extra virgin olive oil and Sherry wine vinegar.

Lula Mae’s Chopped Salad
A Columbia original and favorite. Named to honor the memory of our long time staff member Lula Mae who graced the Columbia nightly for 48 years.
