Restaurante La Casa de Socorro — Restaurant in Cartagena

I recently had the misfortune of dining at Restaurante La Casa de Socorro, and I must say it was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. Not only did they scam me out of my hard-earned money, but they also served me food I never even ordered.

From the moment I walked in, I had a bad feeling. The ambiance was mediocre at best, with dim lighting that seemed to be hiding the true state of the place. I decided to give it a chance anyway and ordered what I thought would be a decent meal.

Little did I know, that would be the beginning of my terrible experience. After waiting for what felt like an eternity, my order finally arrived. To my shock, it wasn't anything close to what I had ordered. Instead of the steak I had requested, they served me a soggy and tasteless pasta dish. It was clear that they had messed up my order, and I was already disappointed.

When I tried to bring this to the attention of the waiter, they were completely dismissive and unapologetic. They insisted that I had indeed ordered the pasta, which was an outright lie. It was as if they were trying to gaslight me into believing I was wrong.

But the worst part was yet to come. When the bill arrived, I was horrified to see that I had been charged for both the incorrect pasta dish and the steak I never received. It was as if they were intentionally trying to overcharge me and take advantage of the situation. When I confronted them about this blatant scam, they pretended not to understand and simply shrugged it off.

I left Restaurante La Casa de Socorro feeling not only cheated but also disgusted by their unethical practices. It's clear that this establishment has no respect for its customers and is more interested in making a quick buck than providing a quality dining experience.

I urge anyone considering dining at Restaurante La Casa de Socorro to think twice. Save yourself the disappointment, frustration, and financial loss by avoiding this scam of a restaurant at all costs. There are plenty of other reputable and honest establishments in the area that deserve...

Really wanted to like this place. I saw lots of great reviews online, so I took a taxi to see if it was good. I’m in town to scope out locations for a wedding, and wanted to try out places to recommend to guests.

The location is good if you’re in walking distance, but difficult to get to by taxi.

When we got there it was pretty empty. The restaurant was set up weirdly. They sat everyone with three or less people in one part of the restaurant and groups of four or more in another part. This meant that 8 tables shared three servers, while our part of the restaurant only had one server for 10 tables. Our poor server was running around trying to do everything. Others in our section were also visibly confused when huge groups that sat down way after them got their food out first. I had to wait 15 mins to get a spoon for my soup!

The food was good, not amazing. My cazuela was good, but certainly not the best I’ve ever had. Funny enough the best food that we had was the chicken.

The service was fine our server was nice, just slammed, maybe only come here with a bigger group. It is wheelchair accessible,...
