Samara Spanish

About

Samara's one Colombian spot, set in an open-air food market called the Mercadito, often with live music. Travelers rave about the empanadas' perfect texture and a standout limonada, with gluten-free options and a friendly owner. A short, focused menu done well, just off the main road near the beach.

Fantastic food! Amazing people! Super cool spot. The limonda was out of this world! If you are hanging out in Samara you have to stop at the Mercadito

The only Colombian food in town so by default it’s the best. Love the access to diverse food in a limited town. Empanadas have the perfect texture. Definitely worth the visit you won’t regret it. So yum!

Food was great! Service was awesome! Super friendly and made some great suggestions! This restaurant is located is what I would call an outdoor food market! Live music, beautiful setting just off the main road. We had no idea it was there until we went for a walk!!
