Colombian food is officially coming to Northern Colorado this weekend.

Yellow Crunch — named for its yellow and crunchy Colombian cornmeal empanadas — plans to softly open in Old Town's The Exchange Saturday, taking over the space formerly occupied by Chick'n Cone, according to Yellow Crunch founder Viviana Henao.

The eatery will dish up Colombian finger foods, including its namesake empanadas, tamales and traditional dishes like bandeja paisa.

Yellow Crunch will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Editor's note: An earlier version of this story mentioned Yellow Crunch's gluten-free offerings. While several of its dishes are gluten-free, its menu is not fully gluten-free.
