Rincón De Pepe (CARTAGENA) — Restaurant in Cartagena

If you don't have to eat here, don't! There are of course positives: the drinks were fresh and cold and the food was warm. However, the quality of the food is very bad. Paella mixta made on bones stuck with meat scraps. Gaspaccio served in a glass tasted like minced raw tomatoes with garlic - all in all correct, but it tasted bad.

Prices are okay, however the service was rather bad as it took them over 30 mins to take order and when they finally do, alot of things we wanted to order was not available. We visited on a Friday night at dinner time, not sure how it was possible for many things to...

The food (some of it) was good. The service was weird. There were 6 of us and we all ordered a sandwich. We all ordered something different but they brought all the sandwiches out on one plate. We didn’t know who’s sandwich was who’s. And, they only brought 5 sandwiches. When asked about it, it was almost like they thought I was trying to pull one over in them. They did bring me my sandwich it it was a super poor version of bread with almost nothing in it. Kinda like giving me a middle finger. The beer was good and the others enjoyed...
