We stumbled upon this place while walking around Cartagena, and it turned out to be a great find. The homemade food and the daily menu are very affordable. It seems like a well-run family business. The service was excellent, with hardworking and efficient waiters who also gave us great recommendations. If we return to the area, we won't hesitate to eat there again.

14 euros for 2 dishes, a drink and a desert (coffee, cake or ice cream). Bolognese was sub-par, but pork loin was very decent. If it wasn't for the spaghetti, for that price it would be a top tier place to eat at.

El Rincón de Pepe in Cartagena offers traditional cuisine with an authentic flavor, generous portions, and a warm, family-like atmosphere. It's a classic that never disappoints.

I had never been there before, and it's just an average place. The montaditos and the longaniza were good, but the croquettes were not worth it. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. Highly recommended.

A place with a great atmosphere and high-quality products, centrally located and bright. We ordered a portion of steamed mussels, which were spectacular. A half portion of calamari, whose quality I don't doubt, but I found them a bit tough for my taste, though they were superior in flavor. And to accompany, some bravas, with a sauce that tasted more like mojo picón than brava, but still, the flavor of the sauce and the cooking of the potatoes were simply perfect... Without a doubt, I will return, probably more than once, and I will always recommend it. Thank you for a great experience.

Close to the port of Cartagena and the Arsenal, there's a restaurant where you can enjoy very typical dishes from Cartagena at quite a reasonable price. I went with a friend for some tapas and, once again, the restaurant did not disappoint. The quality-to-price ratio is very good.

Lunch menu was terrible, fish and seafood was frozen and undercooked, paella was made of bones and shells, no seafood. Seabass was as the only tasty option

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. An appetizer called seasoned ham - it's 3 slices of the cheapest sausage topped with olive oil and cut in half. The children ordered spaghetti bolognese, there was a chance that it would work, but this dish did not taste good either, a better solution is to buy a ready-made dish in a jar. At the end we were waiting for dessert, because we ordered sets of the day that include dessert. Here was the best surprise, the waitress asked if we wanted coffee, we said no, so we got the bill. I understand that the dessert was supposed to be coffee :(. This is a really poor place. I do not recommend it.

The place is usually crowded and we have been here many times before however can't help but notice the service and quality of food have dropped. Not sure it was pure chance or luck but the food we had tasted old i.e. russian salad was not fresh and croquettas were cold not freshly fried hot. For classic Spanish tapas, you'd think it shouldn't go wrong but when it does; it sure makes you wonder. 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 finish by then.
