Comedor Costeño
A family canteen on the riverbank for about forty years, where fried river fish and braised duck with coconut rice are popular with locals and visitors alike.
Located on the riverside avenue (Carrera 1) overlooking the Magdalena River. It is one of Mompox's best-known inexpensive old eateries and has over a thousand reviews on Google. The signature is bocachico, a river fish, which is fried, braised or cooked in broth (en viuda). Also popular is pebre de pato, a braised duck, usually served with coconut rice, fried green plantain and salad, and homemade hot sauce on the table. Portions are large and prices are low. It is mainly a lunch spot, and popular dishes sell out, so arrive early. Service can be slow when it is busy and is fairly informal.
Opening hours
Mainly lunch, roughly 11:00-15:00
