One of my favourite places in the city. Great tapas, service is brilliant and the pricing is decent as well. Can be a little noisy over the weekend as it's normally packed with people. Pack your ear plugs.

First came here about 22 years ago, went back today. The only obvious change is the TV is flat. Still one of the best tapas experiences in Cartagena.
