any number of juice vendors: "keeping hydrated is easy but necessary" Mompós Restaurant Tip by richiecdisc

In a town as hot as Mompos, it's important to keep properly hydrated and that proves no problem with many vendors selling juices. Next to the Costeno Comedor restaurant along the river was a nice little place that had very nice fresh squeezed juices served with a fantastic few, a very slight breeze, and played some cool African music. We had huge mango & maracuja juices which has us wishing we had brought a bottle of rum with us! The two ample beverages came to 6000 COP ($3).

Favorite Dish: Fresh squeezed orange juice goes for 1200 COP (60 cents a glass) from street vendors and we had perhaps the best fresh squeezed grapefruit juice of our lives for a fraction more at 1500 (75 cents) for a glass the vendor kept refilling until his pitcher was empty. We never found him again as he must move from spot to spot to be in the shade, and who can blame him in this heat!

Comparison: least expensive
Directions: Nice place next to Comedor Costeno on the river is open when the other is not. Many street vendors selling fresh squeezed orange juice but look for grapefruit for a special treat.
Price: less than US$10
