You have to try this. A chilled Margarita made with corozo juice. Corozo is a little palm fruit, that gets a red color juice. Very refreshing. And the old city cartagenian house has that classic atmosphere that remember us old times. Try jaibas (crab) as appetizer. A cozy place to spend a friends night with live music or to have... More

A really well decorated old cartagenian house, with 2 nice enviroments; the patio with lot of plants and a nice tropical feeling and the closed room, with antique and vanduard paintings decoration. The food is really good but the Corozo Margaritas are just the best in town. Recommendations: - Starters: La bomba, Jaibas gratinadas. - Drinks: Corozo Margarita (Of course!!) More

We were first seated next to the men's bathroom at a table that was so dark we could not read the menu. We moved to a spot where we could read the menu. It took forever for the server to take our drink order and then come back for our food order. The room was interesting, with lovely lighting on... More

I was in Cartagena for a week and after reading the outstanding reviews on Krioyo, I knew I had to pay a visit. After all, it's the #2 restaurant in Cartagena according to Tripadvisor. Perhaps I hyped myself up too much or perhaps I come from the New York Tri-state area and there are just so many top notch restaurants... More

Ok heres the rub, after one of the better meals Ive had in my life, and thats saying a lot, yesterday at Salou, I was brought back to earth with a very mediocre experience today. The pulpo appetizer in olive oil and vinegar was tasteless and needed a bunch of salt. After this the electricity went out and it got... More

I'm not sure what the people who loved this had for dinner. We found it adequate, typical of El Centro/San Diego touristic restaurants. More

This place is not easy to find. We actually stumbled on it after seeing the reviews on Trip Advisor. The write ups are correct; this place provides a hidden oasis from the bustling streets. A beautiful courtyard is hidden inside and is the perfect place for drinks and dinner. We only had drinks and appetizers but food was delicious. More

Truly lovely atmosphere. Sit outside in the garden at the little tables surrounded by antique nicknacks. The beef was spectacular, melt in your mouth. And the ceviche was just gorgeous! Stay away from the pre-mixed frozen margaritas- yuck. The mojito was nice, if a bit sweet. And I wouldn't order the pork chops again- overly sweet, thick sauce was too... More
