Where To Eat In Taganga, Colombia

Taganaga is a small fishing town on the Colombian coast of the Caribbean sea. It might not be a super popular tourist destination like San Andres or Cartagena, but it still attracts tourists who are into diving. Here is a list of the best restaurants to eat in Taganga.

Pachamama

Pachamama is located on the beach, on the left side from Calle 13. It is one of the best places in Taganga due to its location, relaxing vibe, and good food.

Pachamama looks a bit like a beach bungalow with a few trees implemented into the interior. It is a great place to hide from the hot Colombian sun, get yourself a delicious mango juice, or a great lunch.

Pachamama’s menu is quite big and offers a variety of foods. Here you can find pastas, burgers, seafood, and traditional Colombian food.

My recommendations: seafood pasta, spinach ravioli, shrimps wrapped in bacon, fish of the day in lemon butter or coconut, burgers.

Location:Cl. 16 #1C-18, Santa Marta, Taganga, Santa Marta, Magdalena

Babaganoush

Babaganoush is a fancy treehouse restaurant. It is located on the hill, overlooking Taganga’s beach. 

Babaganoush has a great menu with lots of great dishes. They also offer a set menu for $12 that includes a starter, a main, and a dessert. 

Babaganoush is a great place for romantic dinners and sunset watching.

My recommendation: the fish of the day, croquettes,  pork ribs.

Location:Piso 3 Centro de Buceo Tayrona, Cl. 1c ##18-22, Santa Marta, Magdalena

El Muelle

El Muelle is a beach restaurant that offers delicious and not expensive seafood. 

El Muelle isn’t a fancy place with a special atmosphere, in fact, it looks very simple. However the quality of food is great here, and the prices are quite cheap. That is why El Muelle is a very popular spot for lunch among those who relax on the beach.

My recommendation: fried fish, fish with shrimp sauce, fish soup

Location:Cra. 1 #18-95, Santa Marta, Magdalena

Restaurante LA NENA

La NENA is another beach restaurant, no surprise there, since Taganga is a beach town. They have a big bungalow right in the middle of the beach with quite a few tables. 

La NENA is a cute, but very busy place that serves mostly traditional Colombian dishes and seafood. 

The staff here is particularly very nice. Besides talking to us, welcoming us in Taganga and asking how we like it, they also offered us a delicious free fish soup. 

My recommendation: seafood rice, fried fish of the day
