Restaurante Mañe Cayon

This seafood restaurant is one of the oldest in Santa Marta. Unfortunately, their menu is quite limited, which would have been fine, but out of the three types of fish they offered, only two were actually available. That was a bit of a disappointment. In the end, we decided to share a red snapper, since that was what they had, and it came with two sides. Honestly, it was tasty. My sister ordered a seafood casserole, which was creamy and had a really good flavor. Overall, it’s a place with authentic coastal cuisine, and I’d recommend giving it another chance

Good alternative for sea food. Place is crowded so you want to get here early. Services was absolutely great. The food was good but on the high price compared to other places around town. If you are looking for sea food variety, this is a good place.

Several people recommended this place and we tried it for the first time today. It was really good. The place is cozy, even though there is no AC inside, it does not feel hot at all, it has great ventilation. We had the fried green platains with ahogado (onions and tomatoes.. so yummy) as an appetizer and they were very good. The lemonade with spearmint was really good ... like really good and refreshing. We also had the coconut lemonade which was also good. We placed our food order and boy did it take long!!!! We waited a bit longer than normal for our food.. when it finally arrived, we truly enjoyed it. Prices are not bad, portions are perfect portions. Flavor was great. Our waiter was very caring. We would definitely come back !!!

Local restaurant with great seafood ! Even their patacones were super good ! Good portions and super tasty Edit: 2nd time coming and again it’s delicious food ! Had the encocadas de camarones and it didn’t disappoint. Very generous portion and tasty !

Great location! I dined late on a Sunday evening, so service was slow, but otherwise good experience meters from the beach. Food was great, but mixed drinks could use some help; perhaps an experienced bartender.

7 staff walking in the floor, 4 tables to be serviced, waited for every aspect of our lunch which turned into dinner. Each time had to call a server to get a menu, to order, drinks, and waiting for 10 min to get a bottle of water, canceled (yet it was still on the bill). I don't want to be that American, but I have traveled to 47 counties, rated hundreds of places. 90% of the dishes are just overly fried, the others are just mix of seafood stuff. I had a shrimp dish and they tasted as they were right out of the freezer, not fresh at all. While I can't recommend a place close by, I wouldn't waste your time going here.

Friendly and fast service. Octopus was very tender and juicy, fish filet was a bit dry and overcooked. Ceviche was spot on. Recommended for authentic experience. Would definitely go back again.

Food is amazing with the Caribbean flavor in all dishes, also some options for people that don't like seafood. Service took a long time to provide the food. But in general everything was fine in my visit there.
