    I absolutely loved this place. I went for dinner one night by myself and without the reservation I was still able to get a nice table. The ambiance was great and there was live music the night I went. My food was amazing I got the steak risotto and some fritter things. Everything was amazing, the server was very attentitive and the portions were large too. I had plenty of leftovers too. I highly recommended this place if you're in Cartagena for dinner.

    Finally had the chance to try this place and for the most part it lived up to all our expectations. Hostess could be a little friendlier, but servers were very attentive. The ceviche lacked flavour, but otherwise was good. And our main dishes (langostinos coco and a mixed rice) we’re very good as well. And if you like spicy, I suggest asking for their hot sauce as it was excellent. Portions are very generous as well. We sat in the front dining room because of the ac, but I don’t care for their decor. The back seemed to have some gardens or something and looked much nicer, but too hot to not be sitting in ac haha.

    Incredible and they have vegan and vegetarian options. My husband and I lived in Lima, Peru for two years and we both agreed this restaurant is even better than most of the food we had there (and we ate at some of the best places). Definitely worth enjoying a meal. Oh, and the service is equally incredible.

    It makes my mouth water to remember how delicious was the grilled lobster and the rest of the seafood. The causa was very well made and with the breaded fish on top added a crunchy to make it exceptional. The choros a la chalaca were full of flavor and freshness. Chicha morada was well garnished and tasty. The service was friendly and quick. Very tasty and authentic Peruvian food in Cartagena.

    Lovely restaurant in the old town. We stopped by for some lunch after a long stroll in the city. The service was fast and attentive, we were seated instantly and the food came rather quickly. We would definitely like to come back and try out the dinner experience but as for lunch, it's definitely warmly recommended by us.

    I would come back here 1 million times if I could. Everything about this place is up to par with a 5 star restaurant. Dinner and dessert was AMAZING 🤩, the seafood was super fresh (the octopus 🐙 was especially nice) and the live music really set the vibes. It’s mind blowing how good this place is and it’s super recommended for dinner!

    (Translated by Google) I loved the atmosphere. Octopus a la breaststroke, for starters, for lovers of seafood. One of the best I've ever had, in texture and flavor. Exquisite. I recommend that in times of pandemic the tables should be further apart, remember the distance is 2mtrs (Original) Me encantó el ambiente. Pulpo a la braza, de entrada, para los amantes de los mariscos. Uno de los mejores que he probado, en textura y sabor. Exquisito. Recomiendo que en tiempos de pandemia las mesas deban estar más separadas, recuerden la distancia es de 2mtrs

    Can not say enough about how great the staff was, seriously they go above and beyond. The food was amazing. We tried several ceviche dishes, and both were wonderful. We enjoyed a bottle of 2018 Malbec that was great. Also had a risotto dish and rice dish. Just exceptional food. Taste and presentation was great. Definitely a place you want to spend some time at while dining. If your in the area don't miss this jewel of old town.

    If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. This food was amazing from beginning to end. We started off with ceviche and my boyfriend who doesn’t really care for ceviche, absolutely loved it! We ordered a steak risotto and a seafood with red sauce. The steak risotto was absolutely amazing! So tender and flavorful we couldn’t stop eating it. The chocolate lava cake melted in your mouth and was rich in chocolate. The service and ambiance was good as well. We will definitely come back before our trip is over! Thank you!

    The food was very good and we had a friendly service. They have a great menu with lots of variety. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you like Peruvian cuisine. I don’t give the restaurant the full five stars because of some minor issues: - wine glasses had water stains on them. - one of our friends had to wait 10 minutes longer on his first course while we where already eating.

    (Translated by Google) My visit to this famous restaurant was very good, great atmosphere, delicious food, great music. Although the attention at Reception was not the best. I admit that I did not have a reservation, we went to celebrate our 35th anniversary and they left us at the door to enter, despite the fact that there was a bench at the entrance. While there, another person arrived in the same conditions as us (without reservation), however they were located first than us. It did not seem correct to me, before my claim they placed us on the second floor .... after this impasse the service attention was very good. (Original) Mi visita a este famoso restaurante fue muy buena, excelente ambiente, deliciosa comida, buena música. Aunque la atención en Recepción no fue la mejor. Reconozco que no tenía reserva, fuimos a celebrar nuestro aniversario #35 y nos dejaron en la puerta para ingresar, muy a pesar que había una banca a la entrada. Estando ahí llegó otra persona en iguales condiciones que nosotros (sin reserva) sin embargo fueron ubicados primero que nosotros. No me pareció correcto, ante mi reclamo nos ubicaron en el segundo piso....luego de este impase la atención en servicio fue muy bueno.

    My husband I enjoyed being waited on. This place is classy without breaking the bank. Food was delicious and they want to know if you are enjoying your food so be honest. One of our favorite places from our week trip.

  • 5/5 Thomas P. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best restaurant we have tried in town. We were a group of 12, all the different dishes were delicious. The service was fast and fantastic. We’ll come back for sure 😋

  • 5/5 Meli S. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant is gorgeous, the food is scrumptious, and the service is outstanding. I am Peruvian and was excited to try this place in CTG. This is legit, the real deal and you will not be disappointed. I had the ceviche and was absolutely perfect! We went a couple of times and everything was consistent, just an overall amazing experience. If you visit during dinner, there is live entertainment and a super chilled vibe. Only suggestions...please add the large Peruvian corn, Inca Kola and Cusqueña to your menu 🙏🏽

  • 5/5 Garrett B. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything we got here was absolutely amazing! The drinks, appetizers, entrées, and desserts were all to die for. The service was top notch and the live music was awesome. The decorum was beautiful and clean. Don't leave Cartegena without stopping here!

  • 5/5 Graham B. 1 year ago on Google
    Cuzco is a small chain of upmarket Peruvian restaurants around Colombia. The atmosphere is festive - think live salsa every night and most tables made for reservations of 10+ people with something to celebrate. The prices are exceptionally high by colombian standards: a single main course costs as much as an entire dinner for 2 in your average touristy restaurant. So don't go if you're looking for a laidback, quiet dinner. It will be loud. The food was creative and delicious though, with classic Peruvian and Nikkei influences keeping it interesting.

  • 5/5 Lyllah 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning restaurant setting with great food. I had the truffle mushroom risotto (not sure if this is very Peruvian) but it was so so tasty. Lovely wine and great staff too.

  • 3/5 Mae A. 9 months ago on Google
    We had 4 different cocktails, two mains, an octopus causa appaetizer and dessert. Food was ok but not mind-blowing. We had high expectations based on the recommendations and reviews but found that food was lacking a bit. The service was slow, took a long time for us to get the service staff's attention every time qe wanted to order. At first the waitress forgot our drink order. The waitstaff kept hurting my boyfriend's back with their radios when walking behind him as there was not enough room between tables. They didn't even aknowledge it or said sorry once. The table next to us was loud and obnoxious, but again, since the tables were so close together it was difficult to not be affected by it.

  • 5/5 Nat G. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful food experience. Everything we ordered was delicious and well presented. There is a big variety of ceviches, which I completely loved. We also had a pesto risotto which was amazing! Make a reservation in advance or you won't get a table.

  • 5/5 Yanis B. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant. The decoration is cute inside. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. The food was really delicious. If you love seafood, I would recommend their seafood pasta. The only drawback was their Bloody Mary which made with too much salt and lemon. Apart from that, I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

  • 5/5 Restaurant C. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved the food. Their mixed ceviche is awesome and huge. It comes with cooked camarones and 2 lobster tails. And then the regular delicious ceviche add well. That plate was huge which made me fill an cannot eat my main course. I highly suggest you split that. My main was also delicious cooked octopus. Drinks. Service. Atmosphere. All were top notch. I highly recommend.

  • 1/5 James D. 3 years ago on Google
    Took 1 hour and 20 minutes to get a drink and 2.5 hours to get our food. Both orders were incorrect. The manager essentially said it was my pity that they didn't get the order correct.. I'm not even mad - it's just bad service all-round. I'm glad they have a good following.. I won't be returning.

  • 4/5 Jaime Gueits O. 3 years ago on Google
    I ate multiple times in this restaurant while I spend 26 days in Cartagena this past October and early November and overall I like the place. The price is slight overpriced for the common market of the city but the food is very good, especially the apricot and shrimp risotto, and the service is top notch. Is not a five because in our of our visits I was sitting by the window and was accosted by panhandlers on the streets while my party and I were trying to enjoy our meal.

  • 3/5 LAdoll 3 years ago on Google
    Ambience is amazing!! great live music atmosphere was perfect!! food i ordered wrong maybe i got the sushi and my server did not understand me at all not catered towards english speakers so just FIY. If i were to come here again it would just be for drinks. Let's just say i did not leave happy to make a long story short. hopefully you will have a better experience than me.

  • 5/5 Justin S. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was amazing! The staff all wore mask. We had the 4 cheese langastino pasta, parmesan crusted scallops, and shrimp and fish (sea bass). Everything was delicious! The service was great! Our server was attentive, giving us new silverware after each course. They also gave us a bag for our masks. The appetizers came out within 10 mins and the main course was out within 30.

    (Translated by Google) False gastronomic restaurant. A menu so large that the quality and presentation is not present. High prices for disappointing quality. The positive point, the attention of the employees and a pleasant place. Very noisy place with the band that does not allow you to speak without yelling. (Original) Falso restaurante gastronomico.
