“The food was so good at this place! We ordered the sea bass and suckling pig at this establishment which was all very good! The only complaint to give 4 stars would be when we got our final bill. Our bill was expected to be 350 but it became 380 but then then credit card reader gave us a final charge of 400 without explaining why there was this extra 50k charge by the waitress. The staff was all very friendly but not sure if we were taken advantage of because we were Americans and didnt know Spanish. The table by the staircaise was also kind of awkward as people were going up and down the stairs as were trying to enjoy our meal. Otherwise a beautiful evening and we will be back!”

“Great atmosphere and service. Cochinillo is best I've had, even comparing it to Spain. Langostinos Tigre also a must try. Very very surprised. A must do when in Cartagena. The chef is an entertaining character as well.”

“Amazing food, wine, service & ambiance. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a great meal/ tapas & wine in Cartagena, this is the place! My wife and I shared the garlic shrimp and tried both the octopus appetizers with a bottle of red wine and it was absolutely delicious. Chef/Owner David from Spain was super friendly discussing dishes with us and other guests and you can really feel the authenticity and passion he has for his craft. His wife is also very friendly and taking care of customers which is so nice to see a thriving family restaurant like this in the heart of Cartagena. I did not get to try the suckling pig as you need a larger group to order the dish but saw the table behind us order and WOW it looked amazing. Colombia can be hard at times to find a good place to eat out with music too loud, food quality or service lacking, overpriced for what you are getting…. This place did not disappoint in any way! 5 stars! We are going back tomorrow for the live music and some more delicious food and will make this restaurant a regular visit every time we are in Cartagena. Thank you Chef!”
