"** PLEASE LIKE & SHARE OUR REVIEWS. ** Of our 5 days in Cartagena, we ate here THREE times. It was the only repeat place we visited for food. It is THAT AMAZING. We visited because it was reccommendation from our tour guide Alvaro from Nexperience walking tours. *(Def recommend that too). We loved everything we ordered especially the soups and juices. Our server was Lilney. She didn't speak English but brought us menus in English & Spanish, underlined orders & reviewed our orders to make sure it was correct. If she didn't understand she had a pen to underline which meal we wanted. Highly recommend asking to have her as a server. She is mostly there during daytime hours. Our all time fav was the pescado dish with coco rice and morozo juice. This restaurant is very busy and we can see why. They have some of the best prices in Cartagena and Getsemani as well. They have fans all throughout so it never feels hot even during the noon hour."

"This little place quickly become our favourite. They have great food, good cocktails and cheap prices. The waiters are helpful and friendly. Sometimes it gets really busy, as it is a popular place, but even when it was fully packed, they managed to squeeze us in somehow. Sometimes it took more time for our food to arrive, but it worth waiting. I would recommend this place."

"More of a local typical Colombian restaurant then anything. Wait staff was good, attentive and friendly. They have more meat and fish focused on the menu. No dessert options but prices are super cheap and good eats."
