  • 2/5 Tilen M. 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered multiple kinds of menus and foods, which came in intervals of like 10 minutes. The portions were really big, but the meat was pretty average, nothing special except the size. There was a plastic layer between meats (the one that is usually removed before cooking). At the end I gave a notice about this to the waiter and all I got was a sincere apology, no discount. Im dissapointed

  • 5/5 Borja 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) My fourth visit was a success too, I went with 3 companions, they all came out delighted, the hamburger of foal meat very rich, the potatoes with cheese, etc., very tasty, and also for lovers of tap beer from 1906, always it is nice to repeat My third visit, I went with two co-workers, one of them was his first time. He ordered the wild boar hamburger, he loved it, my other compi, as he always goes he enjoys it intensely, and of course I am never disappointed whenever I go, because they know how to appreciate the Galicia 1906 star beer on tap, and I repeated the hamburger from Venison, a delicacy. Potatoes with melted cheese are also a delight My second visit, and now I ordered the deer burger, 100 percent deer meat, they bring it from a butcher shop, what a wonderful hamburger, recommended for carnivores, and what you want to enjoy a premium meat in hamburger format. It is also appreciated that you have Galicia 1906 star beer here and on tap. The only downside and at the same time suggestion, is to put for when a client goes alone, that with the hamburger they accompany a couple of fries, which does not cost so much, that detail Courtesy (Original) Mi cuarta visita fue un éxito también,fui con 3 compañeros,todos salieron encantados,la hamburguesa de carne de potro muy rica,las patatas con queso, etc,muy ricas,y también para los amantes de la cerveza de grifo de 1906,siempre es grato repetir Mi tercera visita, fui con dos compañeros de trabajo, uno de ellos era su primera vez. Se pidió la hamburguesa de jabalí, le encantó, mi otro compi, como siempre que va lo disfruta intensamente, y yo por supuesto siempre que voy nunca me defraudan, por qué saben apreciar la cerveza estrella Galicia 1906 de barril,y repetí la hamburguesa de carne de ciervo,una exquisitez.las patatas con queso fundido también un delicia Mi segunda visita, y ahora me pedí la hamburguesa de ciervo, 100 por 100 carne de ciervo,se la traen de una carnicería, qué maravilla de hamburguesa, recomendado para los carnívoros, y lo que buscáis disfrutar de una carne premium en formato hamburguesa. Tambien es de agradecer que tengáis aquí cerveza estrella Galicia 1906 y de barril.la única pega y a la vez sugerencia, es poner para cuando un cliente va sólo,que con la hamburguesa acompañe un par de patatas fritas, que tampoco cuesta tanto,ese detalle de cortesía

    (Translated by Google) The place a 10, the food an 11, good place, if you come to Cartagena and want to eat signature burgers, don't even think about it ... (Original) El lugar un 10, la comida un 11, buen sitio, si vienes a Cartagena y quieres comer hamburguesas de autor, ni lo pienses...

  • 5/5 Rafa R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The attention of the outstanding boy is excellent, the food can really improve, especially the point of the ribs and the defrosting of one of the hamburgers apparently was rushed. Everything else very well and the attention and education very good! (Original) La atención del muchacho de pendientes excelente, la comida la verdad es q puede mejorar, sobre todo el punto de las costillas y el descongelado de una de las hamburguesa al parecer fue apresurado. Todo lo demás muy bien y la atención y educación muy buena!

  • 5/5 Alicia Gomariz R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The burgers are incredible, you can tell that it is quality food. We didn't like the desserts very much but just for the burgers it's worth going. I will definitely return. (Original) Las hamburguesas están increibles, se nota que es comida de calidad. Los postres no nos gustaron mucho pero solo por las hamburguesas merece la pena ir. Sin duda volveré.

  • 4/5 Antonio García M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good burger bar, hotdogs, fries, sandwiches, etc. Very attentive staff and very clean tables and chairs. Perhaps somewhat pricey, it makes up for it with its wide variety of craft or Abbey beers (and taps). Photo of the link to the establishment's menu. (Original) Buen bar de hamburguesas, hotdogs, patatas fritas, sandwiches, etc. El personal muy atento y mesas y sillas muy limpias. Tal vez algo caro, lo compensa con su gran variedad de cervezas (y grifos) artesanales o de Abadía. Foto del link a la carta del establecimiento.

  • 4/5 Sonia Blanco S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Variety of menu and everything very good but when there are many tables it takes a while to serve you although the waiters make up for it with their kindness. (Original) Variedad de carta y todo muy bueno pero cuando hay muchas mesas tardan un poco en servirte aunque lo compensan los camareros con su amabilidad.

    I had a nice experience there. It has a fast service, food was pretty good, a lot of varieties on the Menu. Its location is good as well, close to the centre of Cartagena.3

  • 5/5 Peter M. 2 years ago on Google
    Best bar for Irish or English, the staff are lovely and have a great understanding of English. If you love a good Guinness or just a great dining experience I'd choose El purgatorio.

  • 4/5 Tony S. 1 year ago on Google
    Interesting food choices. Great for sharing plates and friendly lunches. Studenty feel. I liked it

  • 2/5 Connie P. 2 years ago on Google
    If you go there for a meal be patience. The staff is friendly, but they forget things and ripp you off when you have to pay. Never again!

  • 3/5 Rich W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar, Paulaner spot on but don’t bother with the Guinness

  • 4/5 Natalie G. 3 years ago on Google
    We ordered a margarita pizza, and the crust was not great. It was as good as fast food. We ordered patatas “fries” drenched in cheese, sauce, and meat (ham), and it was pretty good. I would have liked it more without the ranch sauce. We also ordered the Tex Massacre burger. That burger was delicious! I am from Texas, and it was as good as it gets on this side of the water. The meals were all way too big, so order to share. Decent service. The atmosphere was younger, so lots of smokers 🚬 😷🚬

  • 5/5 Kobe Van D. 4 years ago on Google
    This bar/restaurant is personally one if my favourites. The waiters are super friendly and do their job with pleasure. The beer is cheaper than anywhere else and their offer is huge! The food is also top, a wide offer in pizzas and hamburgers, salads or nachos, the only bad point is it's often greasy (but super good!)

  • 5/5 Ryan F. 1 year ago on Google
    Really tasty vegan food. A little on the expensive side but tasty. We will be back

  • 5/5 Elaina G. 9 months ago on Google
    A nice place for small groups. Lots of food options and an extensive vegetarian options that even a carnivore can get behind! Service is normally quick and friendly but be sure to get there early on the weekend or have a lot of patience. It is a very popular place for very good reason. My favorite are their nachos which are always piled high and generous with toppings.

  • 5/5 Nira M. 6 months ago on Google
    Everything is great the food was huge and delicious I have come here 3 days and they always treat us good with a smile on their face especially the girl with dark hair she have explained us the menu in English and give us her time and d this is the first time I found a bar in Cartagena have billingue waitresses, and I guess every bar need bilingue waitresses, I recommended y’all to come is the best place to be honest

  • 1/5 Linda H. 6 months ago on Google
    We didn’t eat here as the waitress was extremely rude, while we were browsing the menu she barked “drink” at us and had a face like thunder. We went elsewhere

  • 4/5 Federico B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Quite good, many people, many qualities of beer, the special males but the prices a little less. A bit expensive in terms of quality / price, although the quality is very good. (Original) Bastante bien, muchas personas, muchas calidades de cerveza, los machos especiales pero los precios un poco menos. Un poco caro a nivel de calidad/precio aunque la calidad está muy buena.

  • 4/5 Mariano Gómez M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) When you see the place, one can think that this in a biker bar on the mythical Route 66, (dark tones, gothic letters) has a meal, which also accompanies the atmosphere (big hamburgers, big dogs, tacos and fajitas and served in baskets), they also have a more than acceptable beer menu. In short, a well-decorated place where you will eat and drink well for a very reasonable price, ideal for a quick dinner with friends. (Original) Al ver el local, uno puede pensar que esta en un bar de moteros de la mítica ruta 66, (tonos oscuros, letras góticas) tiene una comida, que también acompaña al ambiente (hamburguesas grandes, perritos grandes, tacos y fajitas y servidos en cestas), también tienen una más que aceptable carta de cervezas. En resumen, un lugar bien ambientado en el que comerás y beberás bien por un precio muy razonable, ideal para una cena rápida con los amigos

    (Translated by Google) We went to eat at this restaurant located in a very busy square and with a terrace that is usually full. Despite the variety they offer, we only decided on a few fries for starters and two burgers. To start, the powerful potatoes (they allow half a portion) we found them quite tasty and juicy. Apparently they don't feel frozen (although they probably are) and the flavor of the sauce and the amount of chunks were just right for our taste. As for the main course, we ordered a beef burger and a wild burger. Both were a bit disappointing since the price does not match the quality they offer. We consider that the meat they put was not close to beef or wild boar meat, it would surely be a small percentage mixed with another type of meat, which they should specify. Despite the latter, we would like to return to try some other dish and thus try to find the strong point of this busy restaurant. As a conclusion it seems to us a high price for a fast food for two people. (Original) Fuimos a comer a este restaurante situado en una plaza muy concurrida y con una terraza que normalmente esta llena. A pesar de la variedad que proponen, nos decidimos únicamente por unas patatas de entrantes y dos hamburguesas. Para empezar las patatas poderosas (permiten media ración) nos parecieron bastante sabrosas y jugosas. Aparentemente no dan sensación de congeladas (aunque probablemente lo sean) y el sabor de la salsa y la cantidad de tropezones fueron idóneos para nuestro gusto. En cuanto al plato fuerte pedimos una hamburguesa de buey y una hamburguesa salvaje. Ambas fueron un poco decepcionantes puesto que el precio no va acorde a la calidad que ofrecen. Consideramos que la carne que pusieron no era ni de cerca carne de buey o carne de jabalí, seguramente sería un pequeño porcentaje mezclado con otro tipo de carne, cosa que deberían especificar. A pesar de esto último, nos gustaría volver para probar algún otro plato y asi tratar de encontrar el punto fuerte de este concurrido restaurante. Cómo conclusión nos parece un precio alto para una comida rápida para dos personas.

  • 2/5 Andy M. 6 years ago on Google
    Visited based on reviews of where locals eat. Located on the edge of a nice square. Waitress helpful and had better English than my spanish. Beery OK. Food VERY slow to appear. One dish not as ordered, but near enough, and appeared a full 30mins before other three dishes. They finally arrived allowing us to eat and then leave. Even then, one was not as described on the menu. Not recommended. Shame.

    Great food, well priced and fantastic service. There are many good places to eat in Cartagena but this is one of my favourites. Great outdoor seating area, new small bar next door and always friendly when you take the dogs along. Happy staff and probably some of the best service in town.

    (Translated by Google) Everything is very tasty, I recommend the powerful potatoes and the Tudanca cow. The staff is very attentive and they always try to advise you so that you make the most appropriate choice possible. Of course, for the price that burgers have in other places they also put a garnish of potatoes, it is something that would improve, the fact of adding garnish. For everything else, I would repeat without hesitation. (Original) Está todo muy rico, recomiendo las patatas poderosas y la vaca tudanca. El personal es muy atento y siempre te intentan aconsejar para que tomes tu elección lo más adecuado posible. Eso sí, por el precio que tienen las hamburguesas en otros sitios te ponen también una guarnición de patatas, es algo que mejoraría, el hecho de añadir guarnición. Por todo lo demás, repetiría sin dudarlo.
