The first time I had a buñuelo is in Colombia, even though this is a fried doughnut can be consumed in many parts of the world. Depending on where you get the buñuelo the size and fillings vary. The best one I tried was in Medellin, Colombia where paisas (people from Medellin) are known for their bakeries. I picked a random bakery in Medellin and had 2 buñuelos both filled one with chocolate and the other with arequipe. The best part was they were still warm and soft and they paired well with my guanabana (soursop) smoothie. The size of the  buñuelos in Medellin are the same as those from La Abundancia bakery, but the ones in Cali are slightly smaller and more dense. Buñuelos are typically consumed with coffee during breakfast but can be purchased at any time of the day. This is a traditional Colombian dessert, but even more so during the Christmas season.
