Restaurante El Mejor Sitio — Restaurant in Cartagena

We went multiple times during our visit to Cartegena. They have different menu for lunch, dinner and Sunday. We have ordered their fishes; sierra, morjarra and robalo in coconut sauce or just fried. All of them are delicious. For the coconut sauce, It appears the fish were fried with a layer of coconut sauce on top. The Robalo is less boney then morajarra, both delicious. Sierra was a steak cut. Ribalo has white tender meat and had less bones compared to the morjarra. Linguini with shrimp and mushroom sauce was a hit for my son. He said that was his favorite food during our 20 day trip to Colombia! Lunch was the most economical of the menu choices. Food took a while to come out, but it is worth the wait. The decor is simple but clean (including the bathroom) with plastic chairs and tables. Lots of fans working to cool down the restaurant. Portions were very good...

Not a restaurant per say but a nice, clean basic place to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner. Very friendly people working here.

We really enjoyed the food here especially for the prices we paid. $12-16.000 for a full meal (about £3). Like most places in Cartagena the options are simple glazed, grilled chicken, pork, beef, and a few other options, served with your choice of 3 sides. We liked the patacón - squashed, grilled plantain, and we don’t normally like plantain! You may have to ask for salt because they participate in the governments salt reduction campaign :)

Beer $3.500 (less than £1).

Thank you for the...

Terrible service. After ordering the most basic thing on the menu, fish filet in house seafood sauce, we waited about 45 minutes to receive the wrong dish. Upon asking the staff, they admitted they gave our order to other guests and just chose to flop the other guest's order on our table thinking we wouldn't notice. They unapologeticly gave us the option to pay for the wrong food (which was double the price of what we ordered) and eat what they gave us, wait another 40 minutes for a new order or leave. Would not recommend unless you have hours of time to waste and don't mind...
