Josefina's
Restaurante Josefina's
Widely considered the best seafood restaurant in Capurganá, right on La Caleta Beach. Coconut-stewed spiny lobster and lime-marinated shrimp are its most famous dishes.
Located on La Caleta Beach at the northern end of the village of Capurganá. From the pier, it is a few minutes' walk along the shore, with seats right on the sand. Owner Josefina cooks herself, and several travel guides list it as the top choice for seafood in the village. Diners most often mention the coconut-stewed spiny lobster, lime-marinated shrimp and mixed marinated seafood, served with coconut rice. Crab is not always on the menu, so you can ask her directly. Prices are high by local standards, at about 60,000 to 80,000 COP per person. Booking ahead is recommended in high season, and cash is advisable.
