Some of the best seafood dishes we've had on the coast! Right after New Years, we came to El Barco after passing by it several times. It is uphill from the beach, with stunning views. Decor is nautical/rustic. Service was friendly right away (the owner attended us!) but what really impressed us was the food. He let us know what was fresh that day and his recommendations did not disappoint. The shellfish, particularly, was amazing (locos, machas, etc). Food was not necessarily cheap compared to other restaurants in the area but it was reasonably priced considering the quality and the restaurant experience. Look forward to another visit!
9. Don Waldo Restaurant
Don Waldo has fresh dishes everyday, has an excellent quality in service of all San Antonio Port, we have a professional and qualified staff behind all dishes in the menu, however the most important piece in all this, is the customer being they who enjoy

You may have to go to San Antonio to deal with Chilean customs (Aduana). Good luck to you! Having moved to Chile, I have had to make several trips to this depressed port city. Since I no longer eat Pacific sea food, post Fukushima, because of what my Geiger Counter tells me, not the media, eating in this town has been nothing short of dismal. Until today.We followed Trip Advisor to one of the top rated restaurants in San Antonio (the only one rated higher did not answer their phone) and found it on the run down main street. There was not a single customer although it was lunch time.But right next door there was a restaurant filled to overflowing with locals. Delicious smells were coming out of the open doors, too.So, figuring that the locals knew more about eating here than we did, we waited a few minutes for a table. It was more than worth it.All three of us had the lunch special (3000 Chilean pesos or $5.45 per person) for a lovely tomato corn, cabbage and dark green shredded lettuce, a wonderful soup with a large potato, a n equally fine piece of pumpkin, green beans, cilantro, rice, corn on the cob and, for me, a delicious chunk of beef lomo and for my companions, chicken breast.Dessert, included, could have been scrumptious looking cakes, semolina pudding or a large mound of very, very fresh cantaloupe, which we all chose.Alas, their coffee is instant so, since we own an organic coffee farm in Panama and are rather fussy about our coffee, we skipped that option.To drink we all chose large glasses of fresh, really, really fresh, kitchen made, mango and strawberry juiced mixed for us. So good some of us had two!It was a huge meal served in a simple, honest and carefully run restaurant by Margarita Rojas Madrid and, I suspect, her husband, decked out in a spotless chef's jacket and toque.I will absolutely go back there again.It makes me want to import something so I have to go back to San Antonio.

This restaurant was right behind the Hotel we were staying at in San Antonio. We were there for one night and boarding a cruise ship next day. We were mortified at the prospect of trying to decipher the Spanish language menu when we 'no habla espanol' A waiter seated us and sensing our language barrier, he sent over Mario.Mario saved the night. He helped us with the menu. I asked if he had any fish and he responded as per the title.The food was absolutely delicious. The service to notch. I give this place a five.

El menú es muy barato, en sabores y calidad es regular, todo acorde al precio. Sirve para sacar de apuros. La atención es buena. La limpieza de los baños deja mucho que desear.

On the first floor with nice sea views. We only wanted a light dinner so their prawn and cheese empanadas were ideal. Good pisco sour too! The owners and staff were really helpful....unusual for them to have Brits eating there and they were keen to demonstrate items from the menu.

A very welcome lunch after a LONG flight. Plenty of choice...the reineta fish was excellent. Nice sea views and friendly helpful service. Probably one of the better places to eat in Cartagena. They do a happy hour on the evening.
2. Pura Sangre
Reviewed By Patriciofe
La comida es buena, el servicio es lento y la atención poco atenta, si necesitas algo debes levantar tu mano hasta que alguien se de cuenta.( su dueño algunas veces recorre las mesas para saber si todo va bien ) los platos son abundantes ideal para compartir pero como dije debes ir con paciencia pues la cocina es excesivamente lenta, había solo 2 mesas cuando llegamos igual esperamos cerca de 45 minutos, si quieres comer un rico costillar lo recomiendo pero recuerda que debes ir con tiempo... LAS FOTOGRAFIAS, NO SON DEL RESTAURANT..ESTAN MUY LEJOS DE LA REALIDAD

The food was incredibly delicious and the service was very good! One of the best, tastiest steaks I've ever had. Ambience was a bit strange? Almost New Orleans themed but also Argentinian themed. It was odd. The menus were also odd. Luckily, the food was outstanding! Go for the steak...not the appearance of the place itself.
