Typical food

1. A classic Colombian coastal dish.  Typically, the fish is a mojarra roja (tilapia) and is fried to a nice, golden crisp.  It is usually served with coconut rice and patacones, fried plantain patties (often called tostones elsewhere in Latin America).  Both of those sides are also traditional Cartagena dishes.

2. Cazuela de Mariscos

This seafood stew is also a Cartagena favorite.  Usually a cazuela has shrimp, calamari, and clams.  Some may also include fish and even lobster as an added bonus.

3. Posta Negra

Posta Negra might be considered a Cartagena comfort food.  It is a beef dish similar to a roast, although it is actually traditionally seared then slow simmered on the stove top after marinating overnight.

And some others.
