LA LANGOSTA - LA LATINA - seafood and steak house — Restaurant in Cartagena

DANGEROUS OYSTERS BE AWARE!! FLUFFY TEXTURE TERRIBLE TASTE! Yesterday I went to eat to this place and first impression was an abandoned building no exterior paint and landscaping very disappointing if you expect to have a nice meal and spend your money. Moving inside place look a bit better and service was ok but only ONE customer inside. I order a dozen of oysters and surprise they were NOT fresh and and I need to spit it or get wild intoxicated! They fixed changing for another ones NOT FRESH. I have been eating oysters the past week in three other restaurants here in town and I can tell this place sells expired or on its best expiring oysters. My conclusion they are struggling with the business each day...

What a gem. Beautiful old fashioned building, with great service and hospitality. Music low in the background. The appetizer ordered was fried calamari, grilled octopus, and potatoes. All were great especially the sauces that are served on the side. (Highly recommend the house spicy sauce). Main dish was the classic 1kg lobsters which were amazingly cooked and flavorful. Highly recommend this place and would come back again. Two thumbs up.

Alexander our server was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Went to this place today as someone recommended us for eating ceviche and oysters. The oysters were not good and probably washed ..the cocktail shrimp was warm instead of chilled as it should be served, the fish ceviche with coconut was ok, the rice dish with Mariscos thick and not good flavored. We were the only three people to eat there it should have been a sign ! The waitress was nice and keep asking if the food was ok....Id avoid this place..so many great restaurant...
