Honestly the best place we ate in taganga. They have a perfect view of the beach for sunset, great music, decor, very attentive service, and food that is so fresh, amazing, and filling! We had the fish of the day, pizza, and the lemon pie for dessert. The drinks (nonalcoholic) were also the best we’ve had while here.

At night in Taganga and looking for something to munch? Well, let me tell you Pachamama offers the right environment: a ceiling made of sticks, a few dream catchers hanging about, and some bachata or salsa played at a classy level. That is until the business next door raises the volume to not classy levels. The food, you ask? It was underwhelming all around, including their cocktails. However, I'll give you this, come for the pizzas. Had I known they had good pizzas from the beginning, I'd had saved some money on everything else. I ordered the "Carne Curada" (curated meat) pizza and it was delish. 👌

Great quality and service. I had a fish in lemograss sauce which is my new favorite thing, I wish I remember what it was called. We ended up coming back the next day because we had such a great time the first dinner. And of course the sunset view is incredible

This is hands down the best restaurant available in Taganga especially if you’re a foreigner looking for good experience and value. I have tried half the menu and the prices are very fair for the quality ingredients they use. The combinations blend well. There’s a direct view of the beach. The waiters are all very attentive and eager to help. The pizzas are also very tasty they for some reason do not have pepperoni which is a bummer. My only complaint is the waiters/waitresses can run around abit too much and not notice you signaling at them but overall a 5 star for me. This is a place you can relax happily after your meal.

Food and service weren’t good but the atmosphere is decent (if you’re not sitting directly by a speaker) We ordered the “combo dip” which is bread and dips. The dips were OK but they gave me the smallest amount of bread ever - like I ate 10% of the dip with the amount of bread I had. When I asked for more, they weren’t too happy and explained that there was no more artisanal bread (which i wasn’t even given to start with) but I got another couple of small slices. Overpriced. Service is soooo slow and it’s hard to flag someone down. Would have probably had a couple more drinks had they been more attentive!

Service really lousy. They served me the food without preparing before the table, and once I finished they removed it without asking if I ordered something more ( as I did). The opening set of seafood was not good. Then I took the fresh fish..even worse. Local people told me that this is the best fish restaurant in town.... I'm scared of the others. In any case the pizza looks good.

Stumbled upon this place on a sunny Thursday evening. Sat down for a sunset dinner and My experience can only be described as pure bliss. The views 10/10, service impeccable and food simply to die for. I’m not sure I’ll ever make it back to this oasis of pleasure but the memory of my experience here will stay with me until the end my days.

Great food and reasonable pricing, right on the beach in Taganga. The menu is solid and quality. Having dinner there while watching the sunset is amazing. Like most restaurants in Colombia, staff needs to be more engaged.

Extremely overrated. Food was served cold, and it tasted like catered food . It sort of felt like an upgraded airplane meal. For Colombia, it’s extremely expensive for what you get .

Servers were very nice and the view of the beach and sunset was beautiful. Atmosphere was a bit chaotic with loud music and people trying to sell you stuff while eating. Food was ok, drinks were very sweet, and had a stomach ache afterwards.

Fantastic spot to have a cocktail and enjoy a dinner while watching the sunset. Food was great and they also have live music!

Great food with acceptable pricing! Nice vibe, an awesome place for watching sunset. Totally worth it! However, service could be improved. The waiter that attended us didn’t note down our orders and brought us a wrong one. Had to wait extra 20 minutes for the correct order when we were already quite hungry. The staff also didn’t do anything when a man came to the restaurant, singing with used plastic bottles as his instrument and kind of pushing customers to give him money. It’s just doesn’t fit the restaurant ambiance. Also strangely payment with one of our cards didn’t go through, but we could use another card, not sure what was the issue.

The brickoven style pizza was awesome!! They have a nice variety to choose from as well. They have outdoor seating which was nice since it's right in front of the beach and the cool breeze was enjoyable. Overall the restaurant itself is great. Just be ready to have your meal interrupted frequently and constantly by vendors or simply strangers on the beach asking for money. The restaurant management doesn't seem to do anything to prevent this either. If it wasn't for this last thing I would have given them 5 stars for atmosphere.

The Chef’s rib and a must try and the seafood is great. Location 5/5 Service 5/5 Food 4/5 Great atmosphere after the sun is down.

The staff is usually good although some are really disorganized, which is not unusual in Latin America Food is decently good I’ve had a few breakfasts there BUT that French woman in the back has absolutely no customer service aptitude, after waiting 5 minutes for my ketchup and jam I decided to go and get it and she started getting cranky I’ve heard she is the mom of the owner and she needs to get out of there before that place goes down! Of course I’ll never go back there! Too bad because the location is good

Wonderful spot with such an amazing view! The food and drinks are even better than the view. And the vegan dish we had was out of this world! We finished every bite. If you are in Santa Marta, you should definitely check it out!

A nice restaurant in Taganga with a pretty view, good service and really tasty food, especially the fish of the day! Must go to while in Taganga.

Unfortunately we did not have the positive experience that others did. Maybe the manager was not there, maybe the personnel changed or the cook was new, but unfortunately the pasta was salty and the fish croquettes appetizer was reheated and not fully warm. Service was friendly but inattentive; I had to go and ask for everything at the bar including cutlery and napkins.

We’ve been traveling for 1 month around the country and this was by far the best quality food. I’ve had. The ambiance was perfect they have a beautiful scenery and on time proffesional kind staff

Great spot to grab some good food while watching the sun set! And their cocktails are killer!! The waitress was wonderful, super personable and went above and beyond. If you’re in Taganga, def stop by!

Great authentic food: fresh fish and delicious fruit juices and lemonades. Friendly staff and good atmosphere to watch the sunset over Taganga bay

Had higher expectations, considering the 4.6 stars reviews, but the food and the service weren't that great. The food didn't really have that much aroma (veggie curry) and the service was probably inexperienced. I would say it's overpriced for what it offers. I guess they changed the menu recently, because looking at the menu pics on google I was expecting much lower prices.

We visited this restaurant mid November because we were looking a place for my parents to renew their vows. Unfortunately (or fortunately) our initial plans had to change and we were left without a venue where to do the ceremony. In a pinch Andres (manager) accommodated us and offered the third story in the restaurant that we could have for ourselves. Food was amazing, fresh, variety of choices and decently priced. Fiorela was our server and she was fantastic. We celebrated as a family my parents 40th wedding anniversary and vow renewal. Our family pictures were beautiful! This restaurant has an amazing view to Taganga. I hope to come back some other time.

Wow incredible fresh food here and super delicious smoothie(s)! I had Carpaccio and a fried fish (in the pic). Very tasty! The staff is kind and you have great view over Taganga beach. Good portions and great price too! Highly recommend it. Also for sunset if you can!

The ambiance, the view and the service was great but the food was not so much. My girlfriend and I are now going through some intestinal exorcism, and she has some severe diarrhea. I had high hopes for the food , but it was not so good. Perhaps stick to the seafood and not the meats if you’re ordering from this place. I’ve also had their ceviche, but wasn’t my favorite either. Updated: Below they claim I was sick. I went to the bathroom twice, once upon arrival to wash my hands, and the second time to pee. Do not make up some b.s. claiming that I was sick when I clearly wasn’t.

Ate there two nights in a row, the food was just delicious. The service is really nice and gives you very good recommendations. Don’t know why this place not crowded, it should be. You might want to enjoy one of the cocktails before or after dinner.

Superbeautifull view and great ambiance. The food isn't the best of Taganga in my opinion. The service and drinks are nice. Mellow atmosphere and stunning view especially with sunset at the second floor. Would recommend.

It’s a great place with fantastic view of the marina. It’s about hard to find it, just follow the sign and walk up the stairs.

Nice spot..friendly staff...good lemonade de coco but Ceviche way too salty...unable to finish it

Great food and amazing view. We had the chicken curry, grilled fish and the sea food pasta, everything was so good. Go there at sunset and sit on the second floor 😇

Amazing Hostel. The go to place if you want to do diving in taganga. They work with an awesome dive center, you even get discounts. Very professional instructor, good food, nice dorms, nice people. Not a party hostel. The pool is clean. Nothing more to say. Just go there and enjoy scuba. They take care of everything else. Thank you so much. 👌🏼

Really nice stay in the hostel ! The staff was super nice, helpful and kind. The furnitures really good and the food from the restaurant marvellous ! I had a great stay there, chilling at the pool where you can also get diving sessions. The owner is really easy to talk to and great vibe there she tries to maintain and make it better !

We loved our stay at the hostal. It is a little piece of heaven in Taganga, with the pool and an AC room. Lucie the owner was so lovely and made sure that we knew where to go when we needed something. The staff were also very friendly. She is very knowledgable of the area and has lots of options for diving around Taganga. She also made sure we were safe. Thank you for the beautiful stay!

I’ve chosen Divanga because on the website these hotel had everything I needed ! From the first contact before coming with Lucy who arranged me 2 fun dives with her professional partner reef shepherd ! The check-in was perfect and professional ! The restaurant is so excellent and the card is made for every one ( veggie vegan or not) ! It reminded me of french cooking ! The hotel is cleaned and well maintained. And the rooms are very cleaned to ! I had 2 wonderful dives with Reef shepherd with a discount because I had all my equipment ! The dive team was very professional and safe ! Atmosphere is wonderful and we feel like at home ! Lucy the owner is so nice and flexible thank you ! I recommand Divanga for sure !

Absolutely fantastic hostel. The staff are brilliant, great vibe for a solo traveller looking for Carribbean paradise! Great for practising Spanish, going to the dive school it's connected with and chilling by the pool. Stayed for 4 days but could've stayed 4 weeks! Oh, and the food is amazing too! 6/5 stars.

Very nice hostel, staff were super helpful and friendly, they have drinkable water, free coffee, a free pool table and a really good restaurant.

We went for a taster dive with divanga and it was a great experience. Alan was our instructer and he was great, really nice and made us feel very at ease for our first diving experience! We then went for lunch at hostel and the food was very good, the lady who runs the hostel was so kind and made us feel welcome even though we weren't even staying there. Would highly recommend

This hostel is a fun hostel with good people! I would not describe this hostel as party hostel. There is a bar where we hang out a lot with a pool table. The people that work here make it great even if you come alone. The food is great and the rooms are comfortable. Try out scuba diving through the hostel. It's a great deal and you get 10% the amazing food that they serve. Highly recommended. I stayed 5 nights.

The best hostel I have stayed at! Peaceful, great vibes, plenty of opportunities to socialize, clean rooms with AC, and everything you need for a great stay including pools. They also have great food there for those lazy days where you want to stay in. Lucie, Jacob, Greg, and the whole team are great. Highly recommended!

Nice hostel that also has diving courses in the pool. They should add more shade to the upstairs kitchen area because it is way too bright with the sun beating down. The staff were really friendly. Bed was comfy. I wasn't a fan of Taganga in general, but the hostel was good. I liked that they put 3 soap dispensers in the dorm bathroom. It's not common to have 1 hand soap in many Latin American hostels, so I enjoyed that 😂

Place to learn about history. Good initiative to have school students tour people around for tips. The place needs better maintenance. Somewhere disappointing.

A must if you are in Santa Marta. The guides, while young, are knowledgeable. They will answer most questions you ask. The locations are nice and after the tour, you are allowed to check out the different locations at your own pace. The guides are not paid, but they make some well deserved money out of tips.

This last stay of Simon Bolivar is such a lovely place, well preserved over the time, the gardens are gorgeous, well located opposite to Buenavista Shopping Center, guide by history students, be aware the guide fees are not included in the entrance ticket.

Must-do visit if you are in Santa Marta and would like to learn more about Colombian history. Here is where Simon Bolivar died. The landscape is sublime and beautifully maintained. The guided tour is friendly and perfect to get all the little details about what happened at this place back in the 1800’s. A lot of tourists from cruises come here so the place is full with dancers and activities to showcase the Caribbean culture. Great family trip!

Fantastic place with a wonderful staff. Filled with history and beautiful sites

Impressive area with lots to see. A single ticket of 23,000 COP gives you access to Bolivar’s shrine, a museum, contemporary art museum, and the hacienda of Bolivar. Coffee shop could be better.

Excellent....a must for any history lovers and those who are interested in Simon Bolivar. Lovely coffee shop and gardens too

Be ready to sweat and be hot, other than that; beautiful place with a lot of history. You’ll be walking the same ground slaves walked hundreds of years ago, you can almost feel their pain. The same ground goes for the ground Simon Bolivar walked. What an experience. Easter egg: people from that time were very very short and big headed, you’ll see.

Poor maintenance old and abandoned structures. Signs are broken and sometimes warned out. Its a shame that the country's most prized founder is neglected. Its a botanical garden of weeds and nothing more. Main structure was painted and it seemed they just threw the paint because its all over the floors. Outsiders pay more than locals so be aware. Its almost the country's founding aniversary and nothing done to look its best. Shame.

Tour felt a little rushed but to be fair, I arrived near closing time. The humidity was high and the speed walking made it feel more like a light exercise than a tour. I would recommend arriving several hours before closing time, wearing comfortable breathable fabrics, as well as comfortable shoes. The space that you cover isn't that big, so you can take in the entire experience in an hour.

Good preserved buildings and monuments about the death of Simon Bolivar, however the botanical garden is not taken care and therefore looks bad. A guided tour is available and also quite good, possible in Spanish and English.

It says botanic garden, but at the end nobody explain anything about the plants or the animals in the place. You can have a guide, they are students and you give them the tip you considered fair for their work. Thay talk about the history of the house, their owners and the last day of Simón Bolivar there. I think they could have more information but is it still a good information they give.

It’s a lovely historical place, good for a quick exploration but the museum was empty/closed for reasons unknown. The grounds were a bit untidy and they had no English speaking guides at all. I do acknowledge that we are in a Spanish speaking country BUT I feel like it’s good practice to have at least one English speaking guide at tourist/historical sites like these :)

A historic place that includes a free guide with the ticket just make sure to tip them. A mix of a botanical garden, a bit of art and a tribute to the last days of the man Who was the liberator of America, Don Simon Bolívar. Make sure to wear light clothe since is Hot at least on January there is a café área where you can buy drinks and ice cream.

Totally worth the little trip outside the city, and the free guide are really nice people and very knowledgeable. The place isn’t very well maintained for being such an important site for Colombia with the monumento a la patria. Everybody should come here!

Very cool museum with great exhibits about the history of Santa Marta and the indigenous inhabitants and their way of life. The gold ornaments and jewelry are amazingly detailed and there are more everyday and funerary artifacts too. Great place to get out of the heat of the day and best of all, it's free to enter. Thank you Santa Marta.

It is a place full of history that is going to help you to understand how native people lived before the colonization and all kind of things that happened after that. Actually if the house could talks, she'll tell you many interesting stories where she was present through the time. It's Free.

Well displayed artifacts in a gorgeous building ❤️ very small museum

Absolutely stunning place, so much information, pictures and artefacts. We spent almost w hours in there. It was just beautiful to see so much of the culture and history of Colombia. I highly recommend this place, its also in English and Spanish and its free!

Wonderful museum that tells you a lot of local history from pre-colonial to modern day. Great explanations and displays! And you can't beat the price of free.

Cool museum. One room with gold objects, two with artifacts and an upstairs that’s an expanded Wikipedia entry made into a walkable exhibition. Oh yeah, Bolivars body was there briefly.

For a free Museum it is pretty nice, learned a bit more about local history and Santa Marta as a city

Love the place, learn a lot about Santa Marta area, and there indigenous people... Will go again

Our tour guide did a great job leading us thru this museum and telling is the stories. It was great.

If you want to know part of the history of Santa Marta, this is the right place, visit it on a Sunday and the stillness will make you enjoy all the magic and charm of the place.

I had a truly wonderful experience at this museum. The collection of historic artifacts, especially the section dedicated to indigenous history, left me in awe. What made it even more special was how accommodating they were to my family. We were traveling with an elderly family member, and the museum staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly when providing a wheelchair at the entrance. I can’t recommend this place enough – it’s a must-visit for anyone, and it’s great for families too.

Fabulous and Free! This museum has excellent signage in English and Spanish. It’s got a diverse collection of pre-Colombian good goodies, indigenous information and sparse Simon Bolivar bits. Lovely shop attached if you’re looking for high end souvenirs and it’s housed in a magnificent space.

Good museum, is not very big but with a very good organitzation. There are archeolohical and historical expositions. Free entrance

Free museum. It is small, with only a small room of gold artifacts. However, the museum consists of a lot more. The signs are almost all in English and Spanish. It has information on the pre-historic indigenous people, the indigenous cultures now, and about the significance of the historical building that houses the museum. It’s worth 1-2 hours visiting.

It was good but nothing special. We had two vegetarian dishes (pizza and "gyros"). There were many staff, so the service was very fast and attentive. We liked that very much. In addition, they were very friendly. The atmosphere and the terrace is very nice.

Fantastic restaurant. The pizza here is fantastic. They have many Vegetarian options. I went here for dinner twice and enjoyed it during both visits. The patio tables are lively during the night. I still can't get over how good their pizza was. A must visit when you are in Santa Marta. They accomodated my dietary requests.

Cute spot at the end of the park! The calamari was a bit disappointing but the eggplant croquettes were absolutely fantastic! We also had the surf and Turf and Greek paella ! Both were large portions that were flavourful and very delicious. Tried the 2 juices they had on the menu and they were a bit too sour and concentrated.

The service here was great! The dinner was fantastic even though I received the wrong order😂 I was grumpy about it but I enjoyed the dinner nonetheless. We were a large crowd with a lot of similar orders so I understood. The sangria was great and the ambience was perfect for a group or intimate dining. It is also located on a busy strip so there is tons to do and see if you fancy a walk before or after dinner.

Ouzo is such a good restaurant, waitresses are very kind and will assist you! We tried two different pizzas both of them were super tasty. Also we asked for lemonades and they were so refreshing. They do have spots inside and outside, it's up to the availability. It is recommended to contact them ahead to make a reservation, specially if you're a big group of people.

Food and service are great. Eating outside will result in some solicitation from beggars vendors and rappers. Beef dishes were very good, mussels as well, the bruschetta was so so.

Location is a must. Food delicious....I had fig and goat cheese pizza. And tangerine gin. Super potions for price and take home provided if you can't eat it all. Recommend booking in advance....rarely any tables if you simply turn up.

Food was delicious. Sangria was ok. I expected a cold Sangria. I ordered one made of white wine and for this weather, you would expect a really cold drink. Sangria was warm but over all 8/10

Great service, nice place, food was ok (In good terms) I expected more. Make sure you do have a reservation, Otherwise you can’t get a table. Loved the drinks, the place and music. It’s such a good vibe, Caribbean and elegant. I enjoyed the ambient on the second floor.

Good place for a romantic dinner. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The pizza was good but we preferred the oriental food. The food came quick but we had to ask twice for our drinks. The place gets very busy, so a reservation is recommended.

Place is great! We have been here multiple times. Pizzas are great, fairly priced and simply delicious. Their service is top notch and you always leave happy after you visit this place.

Food was delicious- we had eggplant croquettes, different steaks and a chicken and bacon pasta. The pasta was made fresh, the steaks were lovely. The music was quite loud and the sounds from the street also impacted this. The staff were nice, maybe a little slow sometimes but very friendly

Paella griega nailed it Morrillo mediterraneo was good but not the best ;) No AC, so it was a bit hot inside even though it was the night time But overall, this place was amazing

Had a Mushroom Bruchetta and a Figs and goat pizza. The pizza was very good, I was expecting more for the bruchetta entry. Service was really good, fast and server was always within reach. We were seated at the second level and food was still good. We loved the pizza here. Complemented my food with a Bosque Juice, it was very refreshing as well.

Location is 5/5 Food is very good/ great Service is 5/5 It’s pretty much one of the the very few decent places around the park.

Food was so good, had to come back the next day. Beef gyros was great and so was the Tuscan chicken. Good quick service too. All very reasonably priced!

Lots of outdoor tables, but you probably need to reserve them as they weren't available, nor were the ones on the terrace. Downstairs dining area is pretty warm and has little airflow. However, since I was dining alone, I grabbed a seat at the bar under one of the fans and watched the bar staff create their great cocktails. Food was expertly prepared and delicious. My steak was cooked just the right side of a punto and I loved the new potatoes and veg in the wine reduction. On my second visit, I tried the Ouzo Pizza and was very pleasantly surprised by the nicely blistered crispy crust and well balanced toppings. No inch thick layer of mediocre cheese on this bad boy. Enjoyed it so much I scoffed the lot and only felt slightly over full. Best of all, they have a limited but good selection of bottles of Chilean and Argentinian wines at fair prices. There's even a Pinot Noir from Argentina- the holy grail!! Servers on each occasion were excellent, very efficient and friendly and many will speak English when your Spanish eludes you, but they're happy to let you practice and they never grimace.

We came here two nights in a row and had very different dishes, all were very good. The pasta with prawns (and extra chili) is really amazing, try it!

This is the best restaurant I've ever tasted. (period). Deserves like 6stars for reeal. So glad I lived far enough to come here (from Costa Rica.). Congrats to the chef and everybody that works here 11/10. I've been here 3 times already (as a tourist)

Honestly the best place we ate in taganga. They have a perfect view of the beach for sunset, great music, decor, very attentive service, and food that is so fresh, amazing, and filling! We had the fish of the day, pizza, and the lemon pie for dessert. The drinks (nonalcoholic) were also the best we’ve had while here.

Of course I’ll never go back there! Too bad because the location is good

I had the mixed seafood platter. It was very large and definitely something you’d want to share with someone else. The seafood was fresh and very tasty. It was 50k COP and the drinks were pretty standard in pricing. The place had a beautiful patio with fans outside and a live singer

Not very clear and organized regarding table assignment… but the wait is worth it!! Food is amazing incredible flavors!! Presentation is beautiful!

A popular place for dinner. Very colorful surroundings and mixture of locals and tourists clientele. I only see outdoor seatings. No-nonsense seafood mostly, fresh and well prepared. Service can be a bit brisk and particularly if you don't speak Spanish. Performers in front of the restaurant daily, with different music styles. Be prepared to give some tips, as one should, with small peso bills.

Food was overall good even though they served the white wine after 10 minutes from ordering and warm, but service was all over the place they seem not to know what they are doing. 3 different waiters came to ask ask for the order after I had been sitting for 10 minutes without anybody asking anything, I had to ask for a menu. Drinks arrived quite late and service was super slow despite the fact they had quite a few people on the floor, but maybe not in the kitchen. Tuna tartare is not a proper tartare because the do cook the tuna although it's rare, but overall was nice so still a good rating for food. I would not come back and found better options in Santa Marta

Nice restaurant in the center of the old colonial part of the city. Regional style seafood. The quality was good. But nothing that really struck me. All good but not that special. Service was very attentive.

The food and the drinks are great, good service and beautiful place.

This place is a disappointment in a Latin Country. Profiling customer at the entrance. We were told that a menu is not available without a reservation. I was shocked to find out that Americans/ gringos were treated special and allowed to enter this restaurant no questions asked. Better for me I found a good Pasta restaurant down the block and I was not discriminated on my race. Latinos please stay away from this place.

Great experience. Their menu offers a great selection of seafood. Live music is a plus. The singer Kenny was good. We got seated on the patio and it started to drizzle so the waiter run to set our umbrellas. How nice! In general great service, food and atmosphere. After that we walked a little to enjoy some vendors in the parque los novios.

We ordered seafood risotto and while the flavor of the rice itself was perfect, it lacked seafood. I expected the plate to include way more seafood. There was a huge line to go into the place but surprisingly the line doesn't get you inside, you have to skip the line and ask the server to make a reservation for you otherwise they will not let you in, the line doesn't serve any purpose.

The food was absolutely delightful, offering a wide range of delicious options that satisfied everyone’s tastes. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff making us feel welcomed and ensuring our dining experience was exceptional. What truly stood out was the wonderful atmosphere, creating the perfect setting for an enjoyable meal together. This restaurant has undoubtedly become one of my favorite places to gather with loved ones and create lasting memories.

A very good place if you are looking for a romantic restaurant, on the fancier side, with a very good level of food and service. Everything we had there was amazing, but I appreciated the lobster in particular. Keep some space for the dessert, it's worth it! The waiters were really caring and, although the place was almost completely full, the waiting times were perfectly fine.

Delicious food, amazing friendly service, set in a lovely courtyard. Couldn’t be happier. Will definitely be back during my stay in Santa Marta!

We enjoyed our dinner there. The ambiente is very beautiful, tastefully decorated and nice music. The staff is attentive. For the quality of the food it's a bit overpriced in our opinion. They don't have desserts except one" dessert of the house".

Amazing quality food here. Worth the price and service.

Another hostel guest and I came here for dinner as she recommended it. The customer service and ambiance is nice. It’s not a big space inside but they do have outdoor seating. It took a little while for the drink and food but maybe it’s just how the Colombian culture is. The waiters were accommodating and prompt for service. Although, I didn’t get asked if I wanted a receipt. Overall, it’s not bad.

Best food in Santa Marta by far. We love: 1. Bondiola & poached eggs toasts 2. Vegan wrap (tofu) 3. Banana & peanut butter toasts Staff is super lovely. Overall: 12 out of 10 ;)

Went there with my gf around 6:30 pm for some drinks. Luckily , they had happy hour for mojitos - 2 for the price of 1 = 28.000 COP or $7! Ordered passion fruit ones and were amazed how tasty they are! Definitely one of the best mojitos I’ve tried in my life. Especially for the price we paid! The stuff was also really good, together with the street musicians that created magical mood :) Definitely recommending this place!

Best arepas I’ve had in Santa Marta. They are delicious alone, but even better with the wonderful variety of toppings. Smoothies were great as well. Shout-out to the owner for their amazing photography around the shop! Would’ve loved to take one of those photos home.

Beautiful and peaceful terrace area! You can’t leave the place without trying the lulo lemonade and the falafel salads! I haven’t had such a nice lunch in a long time. What a great balance of flavors. The cubana sandwich not at its best.

Simply put, this place is way over priced for the kind of food they serve. The food is plain and the smoothies are so sweet you can’t even taste the fruit is made of. We got some sliders and arepas but it was not worth the time or the money. They better up their game cuz there are so many great option in Santa Marta’s centro.

Incredible food. A range of vegetables in the quinoa bowl, and it so nourishing and fresh. The ceviche was the standout dish for us. Also delicious real fruit sodas. Would recommend.

The restaurant located in an alley, which creates a great atmosphere. Street musicians often playing in front of the restaurant. Great place with delicious arepas - both meat and vegetarian options were good. They have a happy hour for drinks 😀 I would definitely go back.

The location is perfect. The staff very professional, and the menu to die for. Succulent ceviche. Highly recommended

A friend of mine recommended this restaurant, I ordered a dish name Arepa, you will not find it in the menu (see picture). It was delicious and filling, they have all kind of juices and smoothies that are natural. Highly recommend it

Nice but expensive for what it is. Prices are high for Colombia and honestly for $32k COP I expected more than 100g of fried plantain chips. The waiter was attentive but didn't even blink or say anything when my very petite friend misunderstood the menu and ordered a meal for two people (it says just 'para dos' at the end of the description). He simply put in the order and when it arrived placed two full meals in front of her. A well trained waiter would have asked if she knew it was two meals. Additionally, I hate, hate, HATE the prevalence of QR code menus. This place has zero physical menus, so you're in a nice restaurant trying to read a large menu on a tiny little screen. It's ridiculous. The pandemic is over. Paper is recyclable so don't try to claim it's to "save the environment". It's to save the owners money. I won't go back for this reason alone. QR code menus are ableist and exclude those who don't have a smart phone or choose not to have one. Shame on you.

Yum. Food was good and smoothies even better! Highly recommend you try the Lulomint smoothie; it's delicious! We got the veggie sliders and Mediterranean salad. Quick service and cute spot.

Beautiful cafe-bar style atmosphere. As soon as I walked in I knew the food and experience would be great. I sat towards the back which featured a great jungle vibes type atmosphere with flowers everywhere and an old style type scene. The coffee was freshly grounded and made perfectly. I had the arepa with bacon, avocado, egg and beans and it was just phenomenal. From the taste to the presentation it was very tasty and neatly presented. Overall experience from the staff to the food to the environment, I’d say 5/5

Had a green juice, which was great. Had the Quinoa salad, flavorless but I love vegetables so it was fine. I rate it one star because you get gringo prices and 10% tip already included in your bill. This is the same price for a salad and juice in a city like Miami or New York. Wouldn't go back and would not recommend as it's nothing special. In a very touristy area which is cute if youre look to get hustled, go for it. Nice presentation though.

Excellent quality food and service 👌! The arepa breakfast dishes were tasty and high quality. The greek yogurt parfait was well balanced in sweetness, and the fruit smoothies were simply divine! Recommend 100%!

The place is nice enough (except for the street musicians outside), but everything else doesn’t quite match their ratings on here. 

They got our order wrong, didn’t give us bottled water even if we asked for it explicitly (in Spanish), and everything seemed off. The food was bland and, in general nothing to brag about (we ordered arepas).

The decor was interesting. Lulo has foliage that serves as both decoration and a makeshift roof. They have fans so that the "inside" is comfortable even on a hot day. The drink that I ordered was a cucumber limeade, and it was quite refreshing

The best Mexican I’ve had in the world! I live in Australia but I visit Entre Cuates every time I come to Colombia, my brother loves the burrito (see photo). The guacamole with cheese is amazing as well as the bowls. Excellent customer service too.

Entre cuates is a Mexican restaurant. Their menu has broad range of dishes. All of them from Mexico. The way how they cook and made the food is amazing. We tried different recipes and all of them were tasty. Enmoladas was a little bit spicy but it's taste was the best!!! Also we had Tacos de Carnitas as appetizer and they were so delicious. As soon as you go and sit inside you'll feel like in a Mexican home.

I haven’t had better Mexican food in Mexico.

Starting off with the positives the nachos are decent. I ordered online for delivery and not only did it take 2 hours for them to prepare my food but when it came it was a completely different order. I ordered a vegetarian volcano and instead was presented with a chicken soup - not very good for a vegetarian. Safe to say I won’t be ordering from here again.

As previously mentioned, it's worth finding this gem near the Parque de los Novios. It's a lot quieter and out of the massive crowds of people flocking the restaurants down the avenue. Good food, great atmosphere 👌 terrible bathrooms out back in a warped patio. One bathroom doesn't even have a door. However, STILL worth trying the food...excellent guacamole.

The atmosphere was very nice and the customer service was excellent. I really enjoyed every dish. Mexican food is one of my favourite cuisines and everything was freshly made and delicious. I recommend for a nice lunch❤

Excellent food! And super excellent service. I ordered the La Tampiquenia plate...tender beef a la plancha with beans, salad and rice. Delicioso! Washed it down with a perfectly concocted Cuba Libre. I highly recommend visitors and locals give Entre Cuates Santa Marta a visit. Friday and Saturday they have live entertainment. Thursday night is Ladies night featuring 2 for 1 Frozen Margaritas. Everyday they serve great food and great service. They accept credit cards or Colombian pesos. Very good spot to gather with your group or party. I and my family will be visiting Entre Custer Santa Maria Mui Pronto!

Gorgeous location on the corner of parque de los novios with a beautiful mural. The food took a while but was fresh and delicious – the seafood with coconut and curry being the standout dish. The patacones were the size of a small plate.

Very nice authentic mexican food! Taco's perfect and the pulpo dish was very tasty. Please remember the spicy sauce is really spicy! I could not handle even though I like to eat spicy. Too bad the clamato was not available for michelada otherwise I would give 5 stars.

Amazing service, GREAT FOOD. I recomen the tortilla soup and the me vale madre nachos. Service was quick. Really cute place for pictures too.
