Why Travelers Love La Mulata
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
The place lost power but was still good atmosphere. The food was good from the soup start to the shrimp pasta! My highlight was the passion fruit juice so fresh and crisp. The fish with lime was also good options Whenever I‘m in Cartagena, I just love eating at La Mulata. They‘ve been around forever. The restaurant has a nice, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. My favorites are Filete de Pescado Camaronero and the Ceviche Mixto. The corozo juice and the limonada de coco are fantastic. We loved the food at La mulata. Really good portion, for very good prices. We saw a littler roach walking up on one of The wall near our table and complained to the waitress, nothing was done about it. The food had great taste and I would have given them 5 stars on everything if I didn’t see the roach walking on the wall.

Think this is a great restaurant to have on your list of places to eat in Cartagena. Lunch or Dinner will be fine. Casual restaurant serving local food. The fried whole fish looks like the best thing to get here. Unpretentious but tasty. I got the coconut lemonade - think the plain lemonade is better though. My total bill was 52,000 which is extremely good value.
