    Mazorca Desgranada is an all time favorite Colombian snack (antojito) made with fresh corn, sprinkled with cheese, drizzled with different sauces and topped with crunchy potatoes with a choice of bacon or chicken. My mouth is watering just writing about it! There is also a baked version of mazorca desgranada called maizitos, prepared with bechamel sauce, bacon, and baked in the oven.

    I remember enjoying plates of mazorca desgranada and maizitos when I lived in Colombia. On weekends after a party night (rumba) with my friends, we loved going to eat at a popular small restaurant that specialized in Colombian street food called "Mario Bross". It served delicious snacks like salchipapas, hot dogs, burgers, chuzos or pinchos, maizitos gratinados and mazorca desgranada.
