Jarrinapi Guesthouse Restaurant
Hospedaje y Restaurante Jarrinapi
A long-established guesthouse restaurant on the village beachfront, open to non-guests, serving lobster three ways, snapper with coconut rice and fried plantains.
Set in the middle of the village's main street, right beside the beach, this sizable guesthouse restaurant welcomes non-guests. Many day-trip tours from Riohacha stop here for lunch. The food is typical of Caribbean coastal fishing villages: lobster can be ordered grilled on a hot plate, garlic-style, or baked with cheese, and there is also snapper that is fried and then stewed, Cuban-style rice, coconut rice and fried plantains. Reviews are mixed. Some praise the fresh seafood and the location, while others find the cooking simple, the main courses pricey and the service average. Power in the village comes on only at night. Cash only.
