    This is just fantástico! Open air seating on the street. A couple of ladies to take your order, and a gentleman in the sombrero making the ceviche. We ate here 2 days in a row it was so tasty. Relaxing and people watching just eating some of the best camarones y pulpo ceviche I've ever had, and plantain chips. Recommend highly.

    This is the best shrimp cocktail you can have in Cartagena. Very tasty. Yes, it is shrimp from a street vendor, but you can trust it is very good and very fresh.

    Worlds largest shrimp cocktail title holder. The place is also delicious with fair prices. If you've never tried a "Coctel de Camaron" this is the place to try it. It is served with saltine crackers and comes in many size cups for you to choose. The shrimp tasted fresh and the owner is very friendly.

    The quality and quantiy of the seafood worth's by far the price. Nicely located right outside the border of the walled city, entering the downtown area. Make it a quick stop for high-quality street food, clean, and very good service

    We were dying for ceviche being so close to the ocean. Several locals recommended we visit the sombrero. A lot different than ours usual lime juice ceviche, this was tomato based and a little savory. Served with crackers and made on the spot. It was very good but we loved even more the local experience. Sitting amongst the locals and watching them enjoy the food was delightful. We had the shrimp and mixto. A definite must try for the food and experience.

😠 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...
