"Located in the barrio Santa Lucia this restaurant offers a phenomenal selection of fresh seafood. The red prawns from Cartagena and the crayfish from Huelva were absolutely delicious!! I didn't enjoy so much the octopus a la marinera, it was too salty. A big thank you to Nico for his attentive and friendly service!!"

"Our server Nico was so humble and pleasant from first contact. In many years living in Spain, honestly the first person that I’ll remember for honesty and such a nice aproach. We had pulpo, baby calamari and some local specialty. We even got great olive oil. To make story shorter, great authentic place. Pleasant atmosphere, gentle music, good wine. Great food and service"

"We came on the most busy day 14th of August and all the tables were reserved. Yet they found us a table for 4. And we're so glad. A really authentic experience. Local variety of sea food freshly caught. We went here 3 days in a raw, because this place is the best. Best in terms of food and service. Took some pictures of different dishes we were suggested by Nico. And yes, these are as good as they look and even better. Muchas gracias to Nico and the reat of the sfaff."
