    (Translated by Google) Be careful with your money. We were a group of 20 and with the mess of money to pay, one of the waiters took the opportunity to throw 20 euros from our account to pocket. He took the money while I translated so that some members of my English family paid their part with a card and the waiter took the opportunity to stay 20 euros, then he tells me that money is missing (when in fact it was too much and he had to give me back!) It's a pity that I realized when I was already in the car on the way home. Only because of this do not deserve to come back. They are not honest people ... (Original) Cuidado con tu dinero. Fuimos un grupo de 20 y con los líos del dinero para pagar, uno de los camareros aprovechó para echarse 20 euros de nuestra cuenta al bolsillo. Cogió el dinero mientras yo traducía para que algunos miembros de mi familia inglesa pagaran su parte con tarjeta y el camarero aprovechó para quedarse 20 euros, después me dice que es que falta dinero (cuando en ralidad sobraba y me tenía que devolver!) Lástima que me di cuenta cuando ya iba en el coche de camino a casa. Sólo por esto no merecen que vuelva. No son gente honrada...

    (Translated by Google) Eating with these views is priceless and if, on top of that, you put these paellas for more! Without a doubt, the best rice dishes in all of Cartagena (Original) Comer con estas vistas no tiene precio y si, encima, te ponen estas paellas para que mas! Sin lugar a dudas los mejores arroces de toda Cartagena

    Just a racist Spanish restaurant. If you aren’t Spanish you won’t be welcomed. In fact they will be so dismissive and rude to encourage you to actually leave. Never tried the food but that looked rubbish anyway.

    (Translated by Google) Located in an ideal place and possibly one of the best in Cartagena, is this restaurant that over time does not tarnish its quality, good food at a reasonable price but being justified the location where it is located. One of the specialty dishes, rice with lobster, the rest varied and good service / treatment by staff letter. (Original) Ubicado en un lugar idóneo y posiblemente uno de los mejores de Cartagena, se encuentra este restaurante que el paso del tiempo no empaña su calidad, buena comida a un precio ajustado pero siendo su justificante el emplazamiento donde está situado. Uno de los platos especialidad de la casa, arroz con bogavante, resto carta variada y buen servicio/trato por parte del personal.

    (Translated by Google) The star dish is rice with lobster. Simply spectacular, but if you want to eat to taste and be able to savor and delight with the dish, first ensure that there is availability in the dining room. Outside on the terrace we had lunch today and we had to go without dessert and without coffee because we ate the flies. A shame (Original) El plato estrella es el arroz con bogavante. Sencillamente espectacular, pero si quieres comer a gusto y poderlo saborear y deleitarte con el plato, aseguraros primero q hay disponibilidad en el comedor. Fuera en la terraza hemos comido hoy y nos hemos tenido q ir sin postre y sin café porque nos comían las moscas. Una pena

  • 5/5 Bojan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very efficient staff even during a rush hour (lunch around 15h). Arroz de marisco was very tasty accompanied with a house wine. We tried Zamburiñas also, the second best in Spain! I bookmarked the restaurant and the beach, as I would come back when in region!

    Very good food and beautiful bay

  • 3/5 Lucian L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great seafood for people who eat that. The people I was with said that their rice with lobster was great. As a vegan I could only have an uninteresting salad, so don't bother if you're vegan or vegetarian. The beer was cold. The prices were reasonable.

  • 1/5 Mark N. 1 year ago on Google
    Rude and abrupt staff. Had about 10 tables free outside which apparently were reserved but the 45 mins that we were on the beach none of them were taken. Their loss.

  • 5/5 Fifty Shades Of F. 1 year ago on Google
    Professionalism and humor are among the characteristics of the staff. Yes, they cracked a few jokes with me and my homies. As for the food, I am not sure if the paella should be mellow or not. However, as I have no idea how to cook such a dish, all I can say is that it was indeed very tasty. Money wise, I find the prices quite reasonable given the quantity and quality of the food, the location of the place and also the breathtaking views.

  • 4/5 Kristian K. 8 months ago on Google
    Good place to eat with cheap prices and quite good food just at the centre of Cartagena's main beach. Much fish and seafood on the menu. Very noisy, but, hey, that's Spain.

  • 3/5 Burak �. 9 months ago on Google
    Calamari is not good but octopus is great. Sangria is normal. It’s sea side of course and you can swim and eat something..

  • 4/5 Frouk M. 6 months ago on Google
    The food was oké but accept 1 guy tge sevice bad ..

  • 1/5 Martin H. 6 months ago on Google
    Tourist Warning! I just wanted a drink and a snack and was treated like a bum by three waiters. Luckily I speak some Spanish, nothing else was accepted anyway. The location is beautiful and all food around me looked fine. I waited a long time for the food and then even longer for the bill. I was charged with 17€ and only after some argument it was reduced to 6,50€ according to the menu. I haven't been treated so badly for many years, and it was the the only attempt of fraud I ever encountered in Spain. Do NOT go there unless you can handle the situation. Be sure you know about the "libro de reclamaciones". It"s your strongest weapon, and you may need it.

    (Translated by Google) FANTASTIC!!! The place on the beach is unbeatable. Very professional and super friendly service. And they make an amazing cauldron !!!! It is the perfect place.

  • 3/5 Alberto Ruiz G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We could not eat rice and lobster because we have not called to say it. They don't make you rice if you don't call and say so. Nor do they reserve a table. Nice place to watch the sunset. (Original) No hemos podido comer arroz y bogavante por que no hemos llamado para decirlo. No te hacen arroz si no llamas y lo dices. Tampoco reservan mesa. Bonito sitio para ver la puesta de sol.

  • 1/5 David M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Today we ate there. And this site does not comply with any COVID regulations, the distance from the tables is not established. The waiters all go with their masks down, or their noses out, the owner first. They communicate loudly, everything is very vulgar, we waited for the bill while a waiter sneaked a shot in the middle of the terrace, obviously after touching their faces and mouths (they also smoke puffs in the corner when the boss is not looking). You see them wash their hands or pour alcohol into them, the atmosphere is pathetic among the waiters and to top it all, people who go to the beach pass between the tables without masks. A real danger this site its measures and ESPECIALLY the employees themselves. Don't come here if you want a place to be quiet and out of harm's way. Pure embarrassment to see them work. (Original) Hoy hemos comido ahí. Y este sitio no cumple ninguna normativa del COVID, la distancia de las mesas no es la establecida. Los camareros van todos con la mascarilla bajada, o la nariz fuera, el dueño el primero. Se comunican a gritos, muy vulgar todo, hemos esperado la cuenta mientras un camarero se tomaba un chupito a hurtadillas en plena terraza, obviamente después de tocarse la cara y la boca (también fuman caladas en la esquina cuando el jefe no mira) no les ves lavarse las manos ni echarse alcohol, el ambiente es patético entre los camareros y para colmo la gente que van a la playa pasa entre las mesas sin mascarillas. Un auténtico peligro este sitio sus medidas y SOBRETODO los propios empleados. No venir aquí si quieres un sitio para estar tranquilo y fuera de peligro. Pura vergüenza ajena verles trabajar.

    Fantastic location. Been here most years. Never disappoints. Quality food at reasonable prices. 9 of us ate tapas and drinks for less than 10 euros a head. Shame older reviews affect the recent scores.
