    The sheer amount of people queuing for this place should be a testament to how good it is. Excellent food and service at more than reasonable prices. This one is no doubt my favourite restaurant in all of Cartagena. I highly recommend their seafood specialties, amazing dishes and rations. Astonishingly friendly staff is a plus.

    If you thought that tapas is just a substitute for " real" food, then an experience at El Trovafor will change your mind. So if you are not familiar with the area it maybe a bit out of the way, but that should not be an excuse not to visit this restaurant which takes the food business seriously. An extensive menu which at first maybe a bit daunting, but stay with it - you will not be disappointed. With great service coupled with great food this place is sure to feature on your favourite places to eat.

    This place has a good international menue and fast service. However, the quality of the food is between mediocre and bad. The pork was half raw and mega greasy, the octopus was kind of slimy, the mini squid was bitter. Overall it was still ok, but I've had waay better in Spain.

    (Translated by Google) From 10. It was the second time I went, without a doubt a great place to eat, it was very full and we did not have a reservation, but they gave us a table super fast and even faster they still served us the food even though there were many people, the waiters were all machines especially Antonio, a raise for him who deserves it. And the food is delicious, I totally recommend it. (Original) De 10. Era la segunda vez que iba, sin duda un sitio estupendo para comer, estaba llenísimo y no teníamos reserva, pero nos dieron mesa super rápido y más rápido todavía nos sirvieron la comida aún que había muchísima gente, los camareros unos máquinas todos sobre todo Antonio, subida de sueldo para él que se lo merece. Y la comida riquísima, lo recomiendo totalmente.
