"Espectacular, la comida es super rica y los precios son justos para la calidad. Y el ambiente es super comodo y hermoso el lugar. Perfecto para venir a una cita o con la familia."
"We loved this Santanderano restaurant. Highly reccomend for some very good and large portions of food of this style. The soup and the lamb was absolutely delicious. We could not finish the portion provided split between 2 people. Very tender meat with amazing charred flavor but still juicy and not dry. The jugo de mandarena was amazing.. I could not get enough. Prices are also great. 160mil pesos for 5 people. Very affordable. Friendly and attentive service. Great local restaurant! Highly reccomend."
"Encontrarán un menú muy variado. recomendadisimo el mixto de tres carnes, probé Carnero, carne asada y sobrebarriga pero hay otras tres opciones para combinar en el plato. Excelente opción para comida típica colombiana en Cartagena. 10 de 10. Tener paciencia porque llega bastante gente y los platos salen demorados, pero por la atencion y calidad y estilo deo lugar vale 100 porciento."
"Comida deliciosa, abundante, limpio, buen servicio, va mucha gente así que hay que tener paciencia, pero realmente vale la pena, no es obligatorio dar servicio pero creo los chicos lo merecen."
