👍👍 Let me start by saying this restaurant has now been added to my list of places I have to eat when I'm in Cartagena. The location was very close our hotel and Carlos was so hospitable. The food was Amazing! A buddy of mine had the largest red snapper I've seen to date! The sangria was delish!

    We were recommended this restaurant. From its good reviews I expected much more. They served stale bread, the fried calamari was from frozen but still did not taste good. I had a Fish Filet Muniere which was a 5 out of 10. My wife had the Arroz Tinaja, which was good, nothing out of this world. The service was a little better. The restaurant edifice is actually very nice and so is the atmosphere. It’s a shame they don’t take advantage and hire real chefs. The desert was good. Coquette de Arequipe—-Expensive in comparison to its competitors in the area. Update: My wife who ate some of the calamari after I said it tasted bad got sick to her stomach an hour later. Beware of any place that will serve you stale bread.

    Service was really good. Food was “ok”. Steak was chewy. Could’ve been way better. Ehhh, filled my belly but I’m definitely not eager to return. Food could’ve used salt too. Snapper was dry. Restaurant wasn’t overall an “experience”

    We had ceviche, filet mignon and seafood rice. Everything was excellent. I got a very well done meat due to a miscommunication but was promptly taken care of by the friendly staff who replaced my plate with a rare filet mignon. Great service and food!

    An amazing gastronomical experience. They have everything on the menu and even made some arepa de huevo for us that weren't on the menu. Excellent customer service and the atmosphere is original and modern 👌🏼.

    Where do I even start. First of all the ceviche with the plantano chips was tan delicioso. Next, the filet mignon was wrapped in bacon, and I don't mean of the Canadian variety. I cut it with a butter knife and the steak gave way. And the sauce was extremely savory, not too overpowering but definitely flavorful. The pollo Tinaja was delicious, seared to the perfect amount, leaving fresh chicken and yummy shrimp. And OH! Lets not forget about the screwdrivers. Yum yum YUM!

    I can not find enough words in the English language to say how amazing this place is. As soon as you walk in there is an amazing atmosphere! The music is excellent and the service is amazing! Jorge was our waiter and he went above and beyond and gave us amazing recommendations!! He had a dynamite personality and you can tell he loved his job. The food was to die for. I totally recommend this place!!!

    The food and service here was impeccable. When you walk in it is like you have walked into a beautiful enchanted forest. We decided to sit outside due to how beautiful the location was. The food was amazing as well as the sangria. As an appetizer we ordered a seafood dish inside of a tostone. For our entrees I ordered the fish and shrimp with sauce and my fiancé ordered a steak. I would definitely recommend going here to eat due to the ambience, staff and price.

    (Translated by Google) LOVES THE ATTENTION. We arrived on a Saturday night (9.30pm) and were greeted by a large man reluctantly. He told us that 9:45 pm the kitchen was closed and he left. He never told us that the place also closed at that time; otherwise we would have left. We asked and we did not finish eating that took everything. Really if they are going to let a person enter they should tell them to leave because they are already closed. Because serving like this gives ASCO. 22.05 hs we were leaving the place. They kicked us out LITERALLY, they turned off the lights. The man was very not at all kind. And the tip should be earned not put in the account. Regrettable. The food was good but the bad attention and ruined our evening. Bad experience I take away from Cartagena for its LOUSY ATTENTION (Original) PESIMA LA ATENCIÓN. Llegamos un sábado a la noche (21.30)y nos atendió un hombre grande de muy mala gana. Nos dijo que 21.45 hs cerraban la cocina y se fue. Jamas nos dijo que el lugar también cerraba a esa hora; sino nos hubiéramos ido.Pedimos y no terminamos de comer que se llevo todo. Realmente si van a dejar que una persona ingrese deberían de decirle que se vaya porque ya cierran. Porque atender así da ASCO. 22.05 hs estábamos saliendo del lugar. Nos echaron LITERALMENTE, nos apagaron las luces. El hombre fue muy para nada amable. Y la propina se la debería ganar no poner ennla cuenta. Lamentable. La comida fue buena pero la mala atención y arruinó nuestra velada. Mala experiencia me llevo de Cartagena por su PESIMA ATENCIÓN

    What a find Restaurante La Tinaja Cartagena was! Great food. Like really delicious and pleasantly prepared food. I loved my fried snapper that I ordered. It was prepared to perfection, and served nice and hot the way I like it. Service was excellent! The atmosphere was very calm, which is appreciated considering it's proximity to the Clock Tower. I enjoyed my lunch while watching the fútbol game. Can't beat it.

    The place was pretty much empty, only one other party. That party had a t-bone steak which looked good so i ordered the same. Mine did not taste good at all, had a lot bristle and unchewable bits.

  • 5/5 Alexander De La C. 1 year ago on Google
    this place is classic Cartagena and a locals favorite. Hidden away with a beautiful indoor garden with individual bongalos the experience is definitely one of the best you'll have in the city. Meats are great and so are the soups... make sure you take a picture at the Joe Arroyo statue outside.

  • 1/5 Aurelia H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is not worth it. We had a reservation for new years dinner with menu. They pretended there was no reservation, the waiter was the rudest person ever and the food was way overrated. Also the band was facing the wrong way around. Definitely not a recommendation!

😠 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...
