Reviews For Restaurante Merkabar Welcome

Affordable, very tasty, unlike many Colombia type restaurants. Would not have entered if my friend had not recommended the place. It is a bit rough looking. The kitchen is amazing and if you are a foodie like me, you will love this place. Juices are safe to drink and water filtered. The seafood soup is the best.

Seafood soup - absolutely incredible! For 7 a piece you get absolutely huge portion of the freshest shrimps, fish and other sea creatures:) Also the ceviche was really good for the same price, with amazing sauce and enormous amount of shrimps! The interior doesn’t look all that nice and clean, but the taste and freshness of the food deserves all 5 stars. Definitely a must visit while being in Santa Marta!

Great local food! Delicious fish with coconut rice. Typical old house near the center. It's not fancy at all but it is really original!!! 100% recommended. A tiny bit pricy based on the place, but great food. 164.000 4 persons, 3 fish and a sea food kind of soup, all with patacón and coconut rice
