This restaurant is closed. Other one is open at the same location but not this one.We didn't try the new one as the concept is different. It may be goid though...carne a la llanera. However we had a different expectation and it was disapointin find that Barbacoa Restaurant closed 3 months ago.

Chicken tenders, boneless, hamburguers and ebano sauce are delicious. Service is very nice, delivery is very good too. We come here and also use the delivery service quite often. Very good place to have some nice chicken wings too. We love it here.

The arepas are excellent, with a choice of large corn (yellow or white) arepas, and you choose from a 3 filling or 6 filling option.There are at least 28 filling choices including many various meats (chicken, beef, chorizo, ribs, chicharron, chunchulla, bacon, ham, shrimp), vegetables (mushroom, plantain, avocado, corn), and quail egg, beans, cream cheese, curd, plus 7 different sauces (honey mustard, garlic, pineapple, mayonnaise/ketchup, hogao, chowy, and my favorite – aji)As a surprise to many, the arepas are filled very full, so the value is very good. For those with a smaller appetite, there is a smaller arepa available with less filling options, but we did not try those. We have been there four times already, two times at their previous location in the Santiago Plaza, and now twice at their new location they moved to in September 2015. It seems to be always comfortably busy, yet no long waits and seating is regularly available. We would suggest trying it out, as it is a nice surprise to have a restaurant of this caliber available with the quality and price. Prices when we last visited in December 2015 were 6,900 pesos for the 3 filling, 7,900 for the 6 filling. Oh, and they deliver if you are in Cartago and do not want to walk or drive to the restaurant. We saw many deliveries being made during our visits.

Es un restaurante de comida Colombiana del cual puedo decir que no tiene Plato malo.El menu del dia es espectacular, en especial los Miercoles de cazuela y los Jueves de ajiaco.Tambien tienen una carta con variedad de carnes y el servicio es bastante bueno.

La Maria

La Maria is a place that arises from the investigation of the autochthonous recipes of Cartago and the valley, since this city was one of the most influential in the gastronomy of the department, we seek to bring this wonderful cuisine from oblivion.

Cartago fue una de las ciudades más influyentes en la gastronomía del valle, esa riqueza y esas recetas se perdieron, en este lugar se han recuperado y se traen de nuevo al ruedo, excelente !!!

En regreso a Cali después de 2 días de trabajo en Pereira, recordé una recomendación de amigos de Cartago en un corregimiento al sur de esa ciudad. Necesitaba detenerme a elaborar unos correos electrónicos, descansar un poco a media tarde, reponerme después de un almuerzo embolatado y poder conectarme en paz y quietud.Todo eso lo encontré en este agradable sitio situado a tres cuadras de la carretera por el costado sur del parque principal de Zaragoza (toca entrar por el costado norte de dicho parque, girando a la izquierda tan pronto se llega). El café aparece en google así que no hubo problema en llegar. De entrada me sorprendieron con una bebida hidratante natural con base en limón, bicarbonato, miel y sal! curiosísima y deliciosa a la vez.Me dispuse a picar entre algunas opciones pero el aroma que salía de la cocina me invitó a pedir Pollo al Curry, sencillamente espectacular que acompañé con aguacate, patacones y arroz, todos en adecuada medida y con magnífico sabor.Bebí aguepanela con limón y jengibre, riquísima. Trabajé finalmente un par de horas debido a la tranquilidad del sitio, a la suave brisa de la tarde bajo un sombrío de árboles que me dijeron se llaman Ébanos y con la compañia de unas melodías de jazz en suave tono.Antes de partir la propietaria Francisca Arango me sugirió probara torta de mantequilla acabada de salir del horno con un delicioso café de la región. Me quiero quedar a vivir acá!!!.Recomendadísimo. Vale la pena la parada a ojo cerrado.

Have eaten here before a few years ago and it has gone downhill. Service was slow and the tropical juice that was included in the lunch of the day was somewhat tasteless. The cauliflower soup was good but the main course of pork in red wine sauce was served practically cold. The cost was very reasonable at $9000 for the set lunch about (£2.50). Personally I would prefer to pay a bit more and get a hot dish.

Restaurante Casa Vieja

Delicious food and wonderful service. Winners: chuleta de cerdo apanada (breaded pork filet) lengua en salsa criolla (cow tongue in creole sauce) and the salads.....and of course the fruit juices. This place itself is a reason to come to this town. Fantastic!
