Cheap Eats
Cartagena - La Sandwicheria
Small menu of Arabic/Mediterranean style cuisine with Colombian flare. Everything is delicious. Restaurant is located alongside the lovely Plaza de San Fernando de Madrid in the San Diego barrio of the Historic city. Just a short walk from El Viajero Hostel.
Palomino - Restaurante de los Hermanos
If you're willing to make the 1km hike (or bike) into town, you will be rewarded by visiting Restaurante de los Hermanos. It is a typical restaurant, serving soup, beans, rice, salad, and choice of meat for 6.000 COP. Twice the food at one-third the cost of the beach-side restaurants.
Santa Marta - Cocteleria Juancho
A local favorite, Cocteleria Juancho offers some of the best ceviche on the Caribbean coast. 10oz mixed or shrimp ceviche sold for only 8.000 COP, with 1.000 COP Club Colombia beers. Service is friendly. We recommend spending an entire afternoon gorging yourself on ceviche and beer.
Valledupar - Comidas Rapidas Jerry
A great little fast food stop with Colombian style hamburgers and chickenburgers, Salchipapas (french fries mixed with hotdog slices, lettuce, sauces, and more), all for less than $5. Convenient location and speedy service. Great for a late night bite.
