Even under the onions, my bolon de verde ($3) wasn't particularly green.
In this case "verde" ("green") refers to unripe plantain; it's boiled, rolled into a bolon (ball) with bits of chicharrón and mild cheese, then deep-fried. This Ecuadorian-owned eatery serves Colombian snacks, too, from early morning till late evening; selections rotate frequently.
