La Casa de Socorro

I was curious about the conflicting reviews on this restaurant but we had the same experience as the bad reviews perhaps worse. The food was lacking, I ordered sea bass it was cold, the ceviche was partially raw as it had not been allowed to...cure long enough, of the four of us only the seafood casserole received a good mention. The service was as very bad we waited 20 minutes for our check so we walked to the cash and observed our waiter chatting with his coworkers. Finally getting his attention a dismissive wave of his hand indicating the the checks were on the counter. The prices are comparable to other restaurants but you can easily find better food and service. I noted on the additional information questions that asks if they take reservations, yes they do but they conveniently lost our for a larger group.

I had the crab salad appetizer and the grilled fish entree. It was OK. The beer was very cold and good. Service was OK and food took quite a while.

We had a great lunch the service was excellent. My husband had the fish a la plancha I had the cazuela de mariscos. Both were very tasty freshly prepared. The restaurant was not pretentious it was packed.

The restaurant is legendary in Cartagena, it has a good menu, descent prices and value for money is good. Service is as usual, Cartagena style. Slow, specially if they are busy at peak hours, So sadly is the let down of the place. I don’t...want to discourage people toncome, but do not expect great service. Which sadly makes it very expensive bc the service is average from all the waiters! Food 4 Decor 4 Service 2 Ahhh sadly the coffee, please don’t order it, they make it in the morning and then is kept warm Or heated the whole day. So was not great. And they did it. Apologies or anything, they just said is the way it is make! It can be an amazing place but has a lot to improve.

Excellent food and service. We had Cazuela de Marisco and rice with shrimp and the food delicious. Very tasteful. The waitress was great. The price was very reasonable. Waiter very attentive. Highly recommended
