Tal Cual y Mi Ceviche Medellín

Restaurant

👍 The food is very good but the kitchen service is VERY slow. 50 minutes to 1 hour of wait for your food if the restaurant is busy or if there’s a large group already waiting to be served. The large table waited almost 1.5 hours for their food. People often mention restaurant, service, good, great, Service, small, recommend,

    Came Monday night but they are closed on Mondays so I came back on Tuesday. Everything about this place is perfect. Service was excellent. Started with Mojitos and clams. The clams were small but very good. The flavors exploded. The grilled Octopus was one of the best I’ve had. A street band stopped by and played music and just added to the at

    We had a lovely meal here. The service was very good and the dishes were surprising, tasteful and well prepared. This restaurant is definitely recommended and the prices are incredibly reasonable.

    I have been in Medellin for a few months now, and have visited before . I Can honestly say that this was by far the best meal and service I have experienced here. The food was very flavorful and the waiter was very attentive but in a silent way that was never disruptive . What I would later learn was the owner, she was also extremely polite and helpful . I would recommend this restaurant over any other in poblado .

    Great staff and the owner was very welcoming. The food overall was great, but the portions were very very small for the costs here. The starter come out cold, yes it was a hot dish 😜 The curry was amazing, but needs more to it as it’s very very small. Overall definitely worth a visit but not first on the list of must visits in Manila and would not repeat the experience.

    In Poblado but away from the park. Unique menu. Food was light and delicious. Quiet and intimate. Great date place. They have a nice wine selection. Service is friendly and knowledgeable.

    I’ve been there a couple of times and the food was always simply delicious. The staff it’s always very friendly and happy to help you. It’s a must to visit this gorgeous place

    Great service but very mediocre food. Must have changed chef since lonely planet reviewed them (we came following their recommendation)

  • 3/5 F B. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was very disappointing but the service was excellent, the waiting staff made us feel very welcome. I would definitely come back to spend an afternoon drinking a bottle of wine but I wouldn't eat there again. I had the red snapper risotto, the portion was very small and the rice for the risotto was just cheap white rice. My wife had the seafood soup which was equally disappointing, a very thin water consistency. Overall the food was poorly executed. If it wasn't for our waiter I'd have given 2 stars maximum.

    The food was out of this world. The service is impeccable. Expect a really long wait time for the food, though. Almost 1 hour, so sip some cocktails and talk. Enjoy the beautiful interior and soak it all in.

    Great place to eat in El Poblado. Service was excellent and the food - fantastic! Located on a quiet street at the edge of el Poblado, I really appreciated the vibe of the this area and restaurant - it felt authentic. Highly recommend!

    Excellent food. Food takes a while to prepare but it's worth it. It allows various payment types. Dishes are varied and plentiful. Service in general is good.

    LatAm and international cuisine place. Big portions. Busy place

    Lovely restaurant with beautiful artwork and delicious seafood. Service is great too, buena gente works here. I’d take my friends or family here

  • 5/5 S C. 2 years ago on Google
    Maybe because it was a late lunch, when I went to Tal Cual, I was the sole customer for a while, before a small group arrived. This restaurant deserves to be full all the time! The food is tasty and every service is well executed, at least what I ordered. The staff is the kindest! Go if you’re in the area, you won’t regret it. They have a pretty patio, too.

    A cozy restaurant with a large menu. The stuffed squid served on squid ink rice was very unique. It did taste a bit to the salty side for me personally but overall it was still a great experience overall.

  • 2/5 Tino S. 2 years ago on Google
    Too expensive prizes, and then only serve small portions. I had spare ribs. But the meat amount was not fair for that prize (46.000 pesos!). Quality of the food was good, but also not good enough for that prize. Service was okay - my Feedback didn’t seem to be of interest for them.

  • 5/5 Isabella L. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this restaurant! The food is great, the service is great, the ambience is so lovely and they have nice, moderate volume on the music so you can actually talk! 😍 I have been three times and I have had a great experience every time! Will definitely be coming back! Would love if they would add even more vegetarian dishes!

  • 4/5 Mateo Mejia D. 2 years ago on Google
    Neat restaurant! I really like how the various seating areas have a different feel about them (gallery, outdoor/park even though it's inside, bistro, and the patio).The food was very good and well presented yet still a rather casual enviornment which was nice and so I would definetly recommend Tal Cual to people in the area.

    Incredible food. I travel A LOT globally & am a foodie, & it's some of the best I've had anywhere; SO impressed!

  • 5/5 Byron B. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious food! Great service, at a great price! Would highly recommend if visiting Medellin.

  • 5/5 Vika K. 4 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is SPECTACULAR!! The food is amazing (I recommend the pollo Mongolian or NY strip steak) Our waiter Marcos was extremely attentive and friendly, it was a pleasure being served by him! I cannot recommend this place more, from the ambience to the food quality... every plate is truly an art piece and I have yet to be disappointed!!! My #1 favorite restaurant in Medellin.

  • 5/5 JR C. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing. The best place we ate at in all of Poblado. We went for lunch, had the calamari and clams for appetizers, then I had the salmon for the meal. It was all so good that we went back for dinner where I had the ribs. Everything we ordered was great though. & Marcos our server definitely made the meal even more enjoyable. You have to try this place while you’re in Medellin.

    Very good service and good food.

  • 1/5 Lorena C. 2 years ago on Google
    It is a very expensive restaurant, the dishes are very small and not so tasty as to be worth that much.

  • 5/5 Conor O. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent restaurant en el poblado, Medellin. Food is of a very high standard, the crocante de mariscos is highly tasty, as well as the salmon for mains! Service is very attentive. Decor is cool & quite unique. Would definitely return.
