La Bonga del Sinu sounds yummy too :)

I don't have any information that will help you, but I can recommend you try some of the exotic juices they have there. Nispero con leche tastes a bit like chocolate, and is delicious.

If you get stressed at any point in time, go for a walk in the park by the rio (they call it the terrecon). It is filled with iguanas and has a bunch of domesticated monkeys that hang out on the banks of the river, begging for food from the locals.

La Bonga del Sinu as Jack Jason mentioned will see you well. Try a nice mote de queso. Not sure if it is the same as the chain of restaurants they have here in Bogota though. I have eaten at the one here and has good food.

If youre a bit more adventurous you can try the la plaza de mercado and try some of the fish. Gotta also do as PBHjon says and try some of the exotic juices. Remember to ask for your napa (a bit extra for free). Shouldnt be too hard to find a juice place there. If you go to Planeta Rica (about 45 mins from Monteria by car) There are a couple of juice places near the T intersection for Monteria opposite the servo on the main drag. Rocking chairs to relax away a warm arvo. There is also a restaurant there...whose name I cannot remember at this moment, opposite the Colanta milk factory. Has big steaks, bigger steaks.

Enjoy your time there.
