Wonderful, refined seafood restaurant that is a hidden gem 💎 . The small restaurant offers a range of seafood dishes and some vegetarian and meat dishes. The food was magnificent and the service was excellent. The flavours were fantastic and the best seasoned food we have tasted in South America. It is a little more expensive than other restaurants nearby, but very much worth it. A range of wine 🍷 , beer 🍺 , cocktails 🍹 and soft drinks are available. Would highly recommend.

Absolute hidden gem! Service is fantastic. The arroz de marisocos here is to die for, a slightly different take than what you typically get in Cartagena, but it is the best we've had. The seafood soup and grilled fish were also delicious!

What an experience! Service, food and ambiance is just perfect! I felt so welcomed from the first moment and you really see the passion in the service and the food. An absolute taste sensation. Sangria was already sold out but they made everything possible to get sangria from a different place! We will come back! Highly recommended.

You have to try it!!! Excellent sea food, outstanding fish dishes! Excellent service provided by Danilo. A simple but high quality place in Cartagena.

(Translated by Google) They will apologize but I do not understand why the restaurant has so many excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. It's very bad, I went to celebrate my mother's birthday and most of the dishes were far below expectations: the sancocho de picua was white water without salt, but yes, full of coriander; the steaks ordered from the charcoal were burnt and tasted only smoked, not fishy, ​​the sauces of the steaks knew nothing or just mayonnaise, the shrimp cocktail had too much sauce and the coconut rice tasted like pure sugar not coconut , the relation quality price is terrible. Really the only thing that is saved are patacones. The price is too high for the poor quality of the dishes. My family and I, we were 9 people, we would not repeat that restaurant nor would we ever recommend it. You're warned!!! The attention of the boys is excellent. Yajaira spectacular! (Original) Me disculparan pero no entiendo por qué el restaurante tiene tantos excelentes reviews en TripAdvisor. Es muy malo, fui a celebrar el cumpleaños de mi madre y la mayoría de los platos estuvieron muy por debajo de las expectativas: el sancocho de picua era agua blanca sin sal, pero eso sí, llenito de cilantro; los filetes pedidos al carbón estaban quemados y sabían solo a ahumado, no a pescado, las salsas de los filetes no sabían a nada o solo a mayonesa, el coctel de camarones tenía demasiada salsa y el arroz de coco sabía a pura azúcar no a coco, la relación calidad precio es pésima. Realmente lo único que se salva son los patacones. El precio es demasiado alto para la deficiente calidad de los platos. Mi familia y yo, fuimos 9 personas, ni repetiríamos ese restaurante ni lo recomendaríamos nunca . Están advertidos!!! La atención de los chicos es excelente. Yajaira espectacular!

This was one of the best, and most affordable restaurants in the old city. All the fish and appetizers were amazing. And the staff was super friendly. Definitely a must go!!

The seafood is amazing. Absolutely delicious! Lobster not in the picture but that was great too 10/10

Rustic but upscale. Beautiful at night for dinner, on a quiet but safe road with horse carriages going by. Food is on another level. Music is amazing, staff is above and beyond. One of my favorite restaurants in the world.

Wonderful food. We had the best fish dish in Cartagena! Service by Danilo outstanding.

(Translated by Google) Excellent: the delicious food, the kindness of the staff, always waiting to serve the customer. I recommend the Seafood Casserole, the Machucao de Jaiba, the Lobster Parrillada, the corozo mojitos with or without liquor. In short, a total pleasure each dish of the menu (Original) Excelente: la comida deliciosa, la amabilidad del personal, siempre pendientes de atender al cliente. Recomiendo la Cazuela de mariscos, el Machucao de Jaiba, la Parrillada de langosta, los mojitos de corozo con o sin licor. En fin, un placer total cada plato del menú

We chose La Picua for a seafood dinner and really glad we did. Place is cozy but not cramped and the food continuously did things to exceed expectations with special touches (such as roasted quinoa that came sprinkled on the patacones or the fruity red sauce accompanying the ceviche’s leche de tigre. Service from our waiter Jose Luis was great with great recommendations and explanations of the food.

Off the beaten path, but it absolutely paid off. The food was amazing. The staff was very kind. It was the best lobster I've ever had.

Quite a delicious experience. I ordered lobster knowing it may be my last time eating lobster (personal reasons) and I wanted to experience something phenomenal, La Picura delivered such. My wife ordered salmon with yuca potatoes that she enjoyed thoroughly.

I've been on the hunt for the perfect lobster in the Caribbean for the last 2 months. I've tried lobster in 3 different countries. I came to this restaurant specifically for the lobster and because of so many good reviews about their lobster. Let me say, this place does not disappoint! I FINALLY found the perfectly cooked lobster. It was also paired with delicious guacamole on fried plantains I think? Not entirely sure but the flavors were complimentary and sooooooo good. My fiance and I can barely get by with Spanish but our server, Jose, was patient and very kind. The menu was in Spanish with English descriptions as well. We both got the sangria and would pass on that but otherwise the food and service was a solid 10/10. Totally underrated seafood gem!

Love La Picua. My favorite place in Cartagena - delicious fresh seafood, very affordable, nice atmosphere, beautiful folk art. A hidden gem.

The owners are amazing and the atmosphere, attention to detail. Foos is just amazing!!!

We find this place while walking in the city! Amazing food and service . Mom loved sancocho de pescado and I had an entry “empanadas” exquisite

Beautiful local restaurant, cutely decorated. The food, beer and tequila are excellent. I had a grilled fish which was very delicious and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. Also the prices are perfectly ok. I can really recommend it.

Considering that certain restaurants are always full and that La Picúa was 2/3 empty that evening, I would say that it is really underrated. We ordered la Cazuela del Islote (a seafood casserole) and el Pescado de Mar al Cabrito (sea bass stuffed with vegetable and cooked in a leaf of bijao), both delicious. Perfectly cooked and delicious flavors. Quite atmosphere with good music.

Delicious, fresh seafood specialties from Cartagena and the Caribbean served in a cozy, informal atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Don’t skip dessert!

Fish ceviche was delicious ...the lobster was a little chewy...but to be expected with large rock lobster....( I asked for a larger lobster).I will ask for extra garlic butter next time........ service and bar were excellent....hierbabuena was great.....only complaint is the vertical bench seats are uncomfortable but space is limited

First restaurant in Cartagena = first love! The best cazuela de mariscos ever. A hidden gem for true fish lovers

Great restaurant, the staff was very helpful and nice. Our waiter Elkin was super nice as well as the staff from the door. Highly recommended because the food was amazing

Nice restaurant with great food. Seafood rice and Octupus were outstanding!

Great eating place inside the walled city. This place especially in seafood and you cannot go wrong with any plate choice. Will visit again.

Fantastic salmon tartare, crab and plantain starter and pulpo.

Simply the best place in Cartagena to eat! Food is the best and the service lovely !!!! I highly recommend this place. and I'll be back tomorrow for dinner again

Food was really tasty and customer service was great. Not a fan of the patacones though. Very basic and came with sliced cheese and sour cream. Everything else was very good

The fish was absolutely incredible! Portions were generous! So sad we discovered it on our last day. Very low-key and lovely. Highly recommend! :)

The place was small, hot, and uncomfortable seating. We had the machucado de había which was great hence the two stars. Our limonadas were delayed and arrived after our main dish which was the Cebiche de Corvina. The fish, although fresh, was cut in huge chunks and not trimmed properly. It was tender but it had strips of really chewy skin like tissue which made it feel like chewing rubber. Upon telling the waiter, he didn’t even acknowledge it, almost like he didn’t really care. We left and went to La Mulata which never disappoints. Cartagena has plenty of great food offerings to choose from, I would skip in this little restaurant.

(Translated by Google) I have never had such a delicious lobster and seafood rice as in this cozy restaurant. The octopus on the puree made me hallucinate how delicious it was ...
