Reviews on Pizza food in Riohacha, La Guajira Department, Colombia. Riohacha (Spanish pronunciation: [rjoˈa.tʃa]), Rio Hacha or Rio de la Hacha (English: River of the Axe or Axeshore - Wayuu: Süchiimma, "Süchii" means river, and "mma" means land, Riverland), is a city in the Riohacha Municipality in the northern Caribbean Region of Colombia by the mouth of the Ranchería River and the Caribbean sea, capital city of the La Guajira Department. Founded by conquistador Nikolaus Federmann in 1535, Riohacha was named after a local legend "The legend of the Axe". Owing to the powerful rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the area is mostly desertic and inhabited by Amerindians, predominantly by members of the Wayuu ethnic group. During colonial times Riohacha was a very important port due to the discovery of vast numbers of pearls. In the second half of the 20th Century, the city became one of Colombia's medium important, maritime commercial ports as well as a multicultural center for La Guajira Department. The city is mentioned several times in One Hundred Years of Solitude, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Chronicle of a Death Foretold, novels written by Gabriel García Márquez.

My friend and I went to La Jaus on our one night in Riohacha, and we had a great time. The restaurant has an atmosphere of its own, with outdoors and indoors sitting options. The food was very good - while original at the same time - reasonably priced, and the staff very attentive. Definitely a must for high quality cuisine (mix of local specialties and Italian cuisine) in Riohacha! (Do give pizzas a try, they are original and excellent)Thank you so much for your visit and for taking a bit f your time to share your experience. It is awesome to know you opinion.

El sitio muy lindo, la música apropiada los meseros encantadores. La Piza es hecha en horno de leña y es muy económico y deliciosa. Hay una que no recuerdo el nombre pero es complicado. Cebolla caramelizadatomares Cherry Lo único malo es que los champiñones son de lata (se puede entender por lo escasos que son los naturales) y ponen muy pocas aceitunas en la Piza
