    The drinks are strong, the appetizers have great portions and the floaters of everything is nothing short of amazing. This place was close to our hotel so we decided to check it out. No disappointments to be found.

    We stayed 3 days in Cartagena and this was my fave restaurant! We were so sad because they were closed the day after we went! The service was very friendly and the food was so fresh and tasty. I had a shrimp ceviche and we also shared a salmon tartare. They use plantain banana chips instead of croutons which makes you feel less bloated after. I loved it and highly recommend this amazing restaurant. Go encourage them it’s so worth it.

    easy-going atmosphere, great service, and great food. the dishes were presented nicely and were very tasty. the only reason i gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because someone i came here with got extremely sick with food poisoning after we ate here…… 😢

Not only is the food that delicious, but it is also served very quite quickly and additional to the great service from the staff. Prices are fair and the food is great. We ordered the grilled octopus, crab croquettes and red snapper this time! I highly recommend the grilled octopus!

    I tried to taste everything on the restaurant’s menu; unfortunately, my stay in Cartagena was not long enough. The Pescado al Cabrito is outstanding. A corvina fillet is placed on top a bed of thin sliced potatoes, topped with a variety of sweet peppers and bathed in a sauce made with the very delicious, unique aji amarillo, popular in Peru and Colombia. The whole thing is wrapped in aluminum foil and baked in low heat. Delicious. My only misgiving was the thickness of the foil. I sure would not like to have a piece of it in my tummy. The Posta de Carne is another very unique and tasty dish. Steak braised in molasses and onion served with rice made in coconut milk and patacones, the twice fried green plantains also known as tostones. This dance of tastes had never before taken place in my mouth. Last but not least, the creamy ceviche. If you are a ceviche purist, move on. If you just love good food, dive in. It’s a seafood ceviche, and as such, cooked. It is prepared in the ubiquitous Colombian suero, a kind of sour cream. I know, it’s unusual. But it’s very good.

    Very friendly staffs, one of them speak English, tasty food, when I was there they were building a birthday party for customers so if you have the need? Also that means you should check availability before you go. Good location with fair price.

    Average restaurant for local cuisine. Not bad but also not good, just average. Normal portions and decent prices. Many of the dishes taste like burnt oil. Wouldn't return to this one.

    I had the grilled filet and it was great. I also ordered the avocado salad and it was good, but too much food, as a salad came with the entre (didn't know). The place tends to be pretty empty, but the food is good. I also took the cooking class and it was the best activity I did while in Cartagena.

    Don’t let the emptiness of the restaurant turn you off. My husband and I ordered a delicious avocado salad. The dressing, avocado, tomatoes, and the pickled chickpeas were a great combination together. It also had a beautiful Parmesan chip in the salads as well. I forgot to take a picture of the salad. We also ordered the octopus and the catch of the day. The octopus was very delicious and crunchy, but not over cooked with a beautiful presentation. The catch of the day was a fried snapper, coconut rice, and another avocado salad. All very delicious! Thank you for a wonderful meal!

    My fiancé and I took a cooking class here and it was AMAZING!!! The check was great. We learned how to prepare a traditional meal and how to dance. In the end the food was so delicious. I would recommend this to everyone.

    Lo mejor ceviche en Cartagena! The best ceviche I’ve ever had in my life (better than La Cevicheria which has a crazy line). Super authentic, lots of locals. I loved their Ceviche Costeño and Ceviche Coco and it comes with yummy tajadas / plaintains crisps on the side!

    Thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. It was fairly quiet when we arrived with one other occupied table in the restaurant. The food and service are great and really exceeded our expectations. The pricing was fair and the drinks were well made. Would recommend if you’re nearby

    I recommend everybody to go to this wonderful restaurant. It's the best restaurant I have ever eaten in Carthagena. Good food. Good music. Good atmosphere

    Their posta cartagenera (a beef dish bathed in an incredible rich sauce) was one of the best things I've eaten in the 4 months that I've lived here in Colombia. Absolutely worth the trip.
