This informal restaurant specializes in Pacific Coast Colombian food which primarily means seafood. "Seviche," seafood stew (Cazuela) and fish are served authentically. The taste is superb and the service though at times frantic is friendly and attentive. Every visit I have made here has met my expectations, the quality of the food always remains the same. The food abounds. You are given complementary agua panela (non-alcoholic drink) which is made perfectly, a fish broth and with most entries you will receive a small salad, tostadas (smashed and flattened fried plantain) and coconut rice. The medium size portions are generally enough. They will bring limes or squeeze them on to your food. Most people order the Seviche (which can also be spelled ceviche) in red sauce,which is the local way of preparing it on the pacific coast and the cazuela. Though the breaded fried shrimp are succulent as well as the fish. The restaurant is about a block from la galeria which is a market of produce and everything else and there is a store near by which sell typical Colombian items. The restaurant is very safe, though during the evening it is best to go by car or taxi. During the day it is safe, but always be aware of your belongings. This should not deter you in any way, but it is important to know. You will have a genuine experience without any doubt. I am not sure why, but the owner named two restaurants on the same block with the exact same name. Either one works, one has air conditioning, but I tend to go to the other. The prices are more expensive than other local restaurants for Colombian standards, due to the fresh seafood and the preparation. Still worth it.
