La Mestiza — Restaurant in Cartagena

We had a 10 out of 10 experience. To be fair we read some reviews prior to our reservation and we were a bit hesitant, fortunately for us all expectations have been exceeded.

Firstly I want to thank the wonderful young lady by the entrance for giving us a table with great sunset view. I forgot to mention that it was my wife’s birthday but when we got there and I told her she changed our seating.

We read that service wasn’t to great and that everything was expensive, honestly the prices were very reasonable and service was lovely.

All three of us only had a main course (the solomillo), sooo good! Their cava and Rioja/Verdejo wine was also very nice. Because everything went great thus far we thought why not order a dessert, so we did. And we’re so glad we did, it was absolutely amazing!

We’ll definitely come back and recommend to friends/family and whoever.

Don’t be fooled by the “insta famous” people walking over, because it does get busy during sunset which we understand because it’s a stunning view. Just get there around 8/8:30 pm and have dinner there,...

We went there for my wife's birthday because it was recommended by Google. The restaurant is very elegantly decorated, with a wonderful view of the sunset.

Our appetizers arrived after 20 minutes and were delicious. After about an hour, my wife's meal arrived, and because she found the portion small, she ordered something else. This additional order took another half hour. Unfortunately, my meat, which I had ordered, still hadn't arrived after more than 1.5 hours. When we pointed this out, we were told it would be right out. All the tables around us received their meals, but I still had not received mine. After two hours, I didn't want the meal anymore, so we asked for the bill, which we received immediately. As compensation, we were only offered two shots, which is unacceptable for someone who sat for two hours without eating.

Unfortunately, this experience was terrible. The location might be nice, but the service and kitchen are a disaster. I do not recommend dining here. Perhaps sipping cocktails with the sunset is better than eating here. Thanks...

When we got to the restaurant we were a group of around 10 people. Half the table took their order and unfortunately it was not logged into the system. After 45 minutes of being there another waiter came to inform us of the problem and rushed us to take our orders.

Once the food started arriving, it came in a 5 to 10 minute time frame per person. after all my group had gotten their meals i was left without my order, so we asked a waiter to make sure it had been ordered and take it out. after every one had finished having diner i still didn’t have my order, so i asked the waiter to cancel my order. After 25 minutes they brought it so i politely declined it since i had cancelled it before.

Once we asked for the receipt we realized that they had charged us for the plate i had cancelled.

We asked them to take it out of the order, they understood and took it out.

The food was good in quality but scarce in quantity, the drinks were good and the atmosphere was great.

If the waiters had a little more coordination with the kitchen they would...
