    The ambiance and history of this restaurant is just simply amazing. Right in the heart of Cartagena centro this place is just gorgeous. The food I got was the best I’ve had anywhere. Plus they had mozzarella sticks unlike most of their restaurants. Service was good except the cashier messed up on the check and only put mine on there. The second check they tried to get us to pay the tip again. But other than that perfect service. Recommended!

    Was staying not too far from here and popped in after doing a Google search. I had the place to myself for most of the time. The staff was super helpful and after doing some translations I ordered. My burger & fries came out HOT and fresh. I have to absolutely recommend the Chipotle Burger. It gives Shake Shack a run for their money. The burger literally just melts in your mouth. I washed it down with an Apple Jack cocktail. I left a tip for the cook. Excellent service. Great interior. Good vibes.

    We loved the food and service so much we returned three times. All the food is delicious… however the peasant potatoes were the best potato dish that I’ve ever tasted.

    Saw this place pop up many times while looking for a place to go and I’m mad I’ve slept on it for so long. Tried most of the appetizers and they were all good. Almost didn’t have enough room for the steak but I’m glad I sucked it up and ordered it. Drinks on point too, especially the mojito.

    Amazing place with good options! Very comfortable seating area and good music vibe. Balcony is simply perfect, cozy and beautiful. Environment is great. As said, music is good, staff is excellent and not to mention hamburger that was washed with 1 lite of Budweizer, home made bread 👍. Getting food was perfect timing, approximately 45 min, enough time, nor to fast not slow. Prices are reasonable. Have a look.

    I ordered their New York steak ! It was ok I guess. I wasn’t super impressed by it. It came with a stubborn layer of fat that wouldn’t cut. Plantains and spicy French fries 🍟 were excellent. Server was attentive and friendly.

    Had an exceptional Caesar Salad for lunch along with the NY Strip & fries at Porthos in Cartagena. Very generous amounts of grilled chicken in the Caesar Salad & the steak was very good too! I returned with friends in Nov 2023 our waiter Ivan provided info on other menu items. I switched from the steak I had in May 2023 to the curry chicken an rice dish with mini empanada appetizer. Both were amazingly good!

    GO! Incredibly delicious burger – get the Costeña burger 😘👌 absolutely delicious, may be one of the best burgers I ever had. At first when I saw pictures of the buns I thought it’d be bad, but let me tell you, it’s like homemade amazing soft and delicious bread. The potatoes are hot and seasoned perfectly. They even brought us this homemade sauce that we couldn’t get enough of – highly recommend this place. Also we ordered grilled veggies + chicken as an appetizer 😍😍 so good!

    We ordered two things - shredded pork and chicken, in our opinion the chicken was undercooked, it was chewy and looked jelly. We told this to the waiter and he only nodded and said okay, didn’t do anything with it, so that was disappointing. We also had to pay full price for the chicken which we barely ate. The pork was okay and I would recommend it.

    I was surprised but i think it's the best place for steak and burgers in Cartagena (compared to several other more expensive steak houses). It's fairly priced for good food. Their Patacon is so crispy and good. My favorite is their BBQ ribs. Meat fell right off the bone and was so flavorful. Their hamburger was very juicy and scrumptious. Felt like I was at a chain steakhouse in the U.S. but is now my go to place for good reliable steak, ribs and hamburger joint while in Cartagena.

    I came here on a tuesday where they have 30% off burgers till 11pm. I ordered the smokey burger and it was good. It wasnt mind blowing, it was serviceable for an extreme fair price. The burger was good, the beer was cold, the fries were crispy. I cant complain i will say that this place has no business in anyones top 15 restaurants list. This is what caused me to seek it out, it definitely does not deserve to make that list. But its a serviceable place. Warning. You have to flag down your servers for everything. They dont check in on you or anything.

    The place where I got best ( fast, attentive) service in Cartagena. Bravó Ivan ! Smoked burger was, probably a 4 star, but the service compensate and I decided : 5. If you love burgers, that's the place !

    The meat was good quality but definitely not well prepared, my steak was not well roasted on the outside, the sides were completely raw and the fat layer didn’t even feel the fire… it’s a pity to do this poor cooking with a good quality meat. I wouldn’t come back

    Everything was really good... ambient is very cozy and great service. The only thing was that the portion of chicharrones is very small but they're really good.

  • 5/5 Daniela V. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was amazing, very attentive, but beware the chicharron portion is just enough for one person. The passion fruit margarita was delicious as well as their garlic sauce. 10 out of 10

    In General the food in Cartagena is incredible but this restaurant is out of this world. Amazing steaks, especially the baby steak. Incredible service and reasonable prices. I also had the natural lemonade and rustica fries. Best steakhouse and best restaurant in Cartagena.

😠 I’m disappointed in the service we have been having at crepes and waffles. Extremely slow, rude waitresses, they do not give you attention- plus there was a green worm in our food. Did not take it off our bill

👍 If the servers were only helpful and friendly I would give this restaurant five stars. The servers seem to have an attitude and an air of snootiness. Not acceptable. The food is well presented but it does take a while to get it. My Poblano crepe was quite acceptable. The mushroom crepe was super yum...
