El Frescanjero - Santa Marta

This restaurant is a bit difficult to find, not on the normal tourist route of Santa Marta. At the edge of Parque San Miguel there is a completely different view of the Santa Marta culture. When I went here, I felt like I saw the real people of the city. The food is great. It is prepared with so much love and care. Its American kitchen with a Colombian flare.

One night came for dinner with my two children while my husband took care of some work. The whole food here is delicious. My children had a fantastic pasta with lots of vegetables. There were even flowers and broccoli in it (the first and only time I met these vegetables on my trip to Colombia). I ordered the Veggie Tacos and could not have enjoyed them anymore. The service was great and the owners were very nice. I would definitely recommend this place. The only negative is the place. Right next to a cemetery. I'm a little too superstitious for the stuff, but I could ignore it because of the amazing food.

The best way to start your weekend in Santa Marta is Brunch at El Frescanjero. We had the Hearty Veggie Tacos, full of delicious roasted potatoes, eggs, onions and peppers, all cooked for perfection and filled with a great hot sauce. We had the best **** Mary's ever to drink! Full taste with a beautiful kick and some amazing olives. Robert and Jim are great hosts and make everyone so welcome. El Frescanjero is a fun, relaxed restaurant/bar to spend your time.
