What a cute little restaurant, slightly off the beaten path on a little alley near one of the town squares. We were pretty psyched A. to find the place in the city's mazes of streets, and B. to walk up and immediately get an outdoor table as another couple was leaving. We weren't even that put off by somewhat expensive... More

This was one of my favorite restaurants in Cartagena. Their ceviche ranges from traditional to creative, tasted very fresh, and the wait-staff was helpful and friendly. I crave their ceviche in coconut milk and lime juice...

I stayed two days in Cartagena, and I had lunch there both days !! Ceviche is just delicious, we were 4 and have tried every day different ones, all of them were full of different tastes, the tables outside on the shade are just perfect for a fresh lunch when on the sun it is 40°C... Concerning the portions, you... More

This restaurant is on the pricey side, but I have never had ceviche this fresh and this good. I ordered a medium bowl of ceviche mixto and regretted it halfway -- should have ordered the large! It's a tiny restaurant with not very comfortable chairs, but that's not what you come for. The service was okay and it had good... More

First, the food is quite tasty and I enjoy several of the ceviches. The place is cute and has personality. However, all of this is shadowed by the horrible horriiiible service. Super slow! I have had to stand up and get the menu myself, and also call a waiter and tell him that we've been sitting and waiting for 15... More

We were told this was the best seviche in Cartagena, and I can't imagine anyone doing it better. We had three different dishes, with the best being the shrimp marinated in a simple lime/mandarin/red onion juice. Absolutely fantastic. A must-visit for seviche or seafood lovers. The service was also efficient and friendly.

...People who knows about GOOD FOOD are writing the BAD reviews!!!! I stay in Cartagena 1 month every year and had experience great food away from any of the tourist-trap plazas and feel bad for the tourists who come to Cartagena for a short stay and allow these people to "Rape" their walled.... The owners of this restaurant should be... More

I read the reviews about overpriced and not worth it but I tried it anyway based on a local's confirmation that it was good. It wasn't good, it was excellent. I went by myself, had the coconut ceviche medium sized, and it was spectacular. I ate the saltines with their spicy olive oil and Panamanian hot sauce only because I... More

We went here for lunch one day and tried some of the Ceviche's that they have on offer. They were really delicious, but also very expensive... Try the frozen lemonade - wonderful!

Beautiful environment and in excellent location.Not much hassling from street vendors. The cold ceviche was super and in many varieties. Around the corner from Casa Del Curato hotel and Plaza de San Diego. Reasonable prices.
