BK - BURUKUKA Restaurante Bar / Sunset Spot Santa Marta

Beautiful Views, Average Experience The standout feature of this restaurant is definitely the 180-degree view of El Rodadero Beach. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a drink or meal while taking in a stunning sunset — the view alone is worth the visit. That said, the food was fairly average, and the service didn’t particularly stand out. There is a lively atmosphere, thanks to a DJ playing electro-Caribbean mixes, which adds a nice local vibe to the experience. Overall, it’s a great place to go for the view and a relaxed drink, but if you're looking for exceptional food or service, you might want to temper your expectations.

Great place to visit if you want to enjoy delicious Colombian food with a nice view. On Friday they have live music (this was the day I visited). Sitting by the edge of the restaurant is much nicer because of the views

Given the elevated price point, the dishes do not quite justify the cost. The blue cheese sauce overwhelms the flavor of the meat, masking its natural character rather than complementing it. The sushi, on the other hand, was fresh and flavorful, though the presentation lacked artistry. A minimalist approach—true to the spirit of sushi—would have elevated the experience. The ceviche sauce bears resemblance to Leche de Tigre from Peru, which I appreciated. However, the preparation fell short: the fish was not marinated but instead served fresh atop the sauce. This makes it difficult to consider it a true ceviche; “fresh fish with BK sauce” would be a more honest description. On a brighter note, the view is spectacular, and the service was warm and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience.

I really enjoyed my visit here. The place has spectacular views of Rodadero and is perfect for watching the beautiful sunsets that Santa Marta offers. I had the Orange Sunset drink, a mix of aguardiente, vodka, and maracuyá. It was delicious and refreshing. The music was right up my alley—loungy, relaxed, and great for chatting while enjoying the open air. We ordered an appetizer, which was good. However, the service was horrible, so keep that in mind. It took forever to place our order and even longer to pay. All in all, it’s a great spot with amazing views and a tasty menu. Definitely worth a visit, and I will return.

The food and drinks was really. The waiters were not always that attentive. I'm not sure if it's because of our timing, but it was really hard to communicate with each other because if the music. There was a live band and during their break a background music.

A really great spot, very reasonable value. Good drink options if you aren’t having alcohol. Eduardo gave us great service and you can’t beat the views.

The food was good, maybe a bit too pricey for the food quality but the atmosphere and view make up for it. The wait staff are very nice

This place is great! They probably have the best view of Rodadero. Just coming here for the pictures makes it worth it. The food we got was delicious and the service was good (which is not common in Santa Marta). We enjoyed being here and having a good time with the family. The music could have been a little less loud in order to have a great time. I highly recommend this place!
