La Cocina De Pepina - 4ta. Avenida

Oo la la! The flavor melding in all the dishes was fantastic. We have become used to fairly bland food throughout our month in Colombia, but this restaurant made the tastes just sing. We started with the appetizer sampler of 6, with the favorite being the shrimp...in avocado salsa (and my husband is not a big fan of guacamole). My Gallina Monteriana was big chunks of chicken in a coconut milk based soup, with vegetables. When I added some coconut rice to it, I was in heaven! And the plantain chips were the best we'd had throughout all of Colombia thin, very crispy (not oily) and just the right amount of saltiness. My husband had Posta cartagenera and really liked the sauce the beef had been marinaded in. Service was super friendly and fast. We got there about 10 minutes before they opened for dinner, and 6 more people joined us in line before the doors opened. This was a Wed. night, and surprisingly, they hadn't filled all tables by 8 pm (as we had read and expected). HIGHLY recommend, as one of the best places to eat in Cartagena.

We came here in recommendations online; and even the locals told us it was good. The appetizers and soups we had were simply outstanding; the beat food we have eaten in Cartagena these past 4 days. Very tasty and filling food; very unique, with each...dish having unique flavors. Highly recommended. Small place, so expect to have to wait a short time; which you can do wandering the wonderful narrow streets of Getsemani, another wonderful experience

BEST OF THE BEST. Every single plate you order here its delicious!!! Specially la copa si si si! Its so good and very unique taste.

This was AMAZING! This is absolutely my favorite restaurant in Cartagena. The food is homey and so flavorful, and every dish blew me away. The appetizer sampler is the best, everything in it is jaw dropping in flavor and quality. 100/10!
