If you find yourself in Santa Marta, Colombia, and you’re looking for a truly unique dining experience, Guasimo is an absolute must! The food here is outstanding—every dish feels like a masterpiece. The fish is as fresh as it gets, and the chef’s creativity shines through in every bite. We decided to order a variety of dishes to share, which was the best decision. Each plate was an adventure with incredible sauces and flavors that left us wanting more. Honestly, this is the kind of place I could come back to again and again.

The ambiance at Guasimo adds even more to the experience. The art on the walls? Turns out it’s the chef’s work, too! Not only does this chef create amazing dishes, but the paintings add a personal touch that makes the whole space feel special. It’s clear that every detail in this restaurant, from the food to the decor, is crafted with passion and talent. If Guasimo were in Chicago, it would be one of the top spots, hands down!

We celebrated my birthday here, and it was truly one of the best nights I’ve had. The music, the atmosphere, the incredible staff—all of it made for an unforgettable evening. A little tip: take an Uber or a taxi to get here. The streets are narrow, bustling with people, and it’s in a lively area. Trust me, it’s worth the trip.

Kudos to the chef, the staff, and everyone who makes Guasimo such a remarkable place. If you’re in Santa Marta, don’t miss this hidden gem. Five stars...

Pretty crappy. This is one of those restaurants that thinks it is reinventing classical dishes. So artsy the inside looks more like an art gallery than a restaurant. So first off the quality of the food is average. To all those saying the taste is 5*, please, go out more, learn to cook, stop eating at Burger King kr other bad fastfood chains. The flavors are either bland or excessive and clash. The products are fresh however, for the price they ask you can find much better around town! Nothing to write home about, but the swordfish did standout somewhat... The portions I ate were laughable. I've had 6 dishes and I'm still not full.. For reference I have a hard time eating 2 big macs. I'm not what one would call a huge eater. The drinks are also rather average. I've tried the corozo and the lulon. Unbalanced and over alcoolized. I'll thank them for not charging the last dishes considering I had to pull out fishbone from my crockets. All in all, I'd avoid this place unless you want to impress your date by spending too much and then ending up at Donde Chucho's when she says she's...
