I don't think this place needs more reviews, as it's evidently the best in the city (and everyone recommends it when you ask for recommendations). Get the Cazuela you won't regret it!

Huuuuuuge portions. Consider sharing. It's a seafood restaurant, but after going there 4 nights in a row, we also tried the steak. Very juicy and tender.

Place is good. Fairly priced cazuela in comparison to the rest of the restaurants on the strip. The calamari with cheese was much left to be desired and the calamari was.... Let's just say at didn't finish it. Honestly the inside has old gulf of Mexico Florida vibes like Sarasota abd in my opinion the interior can be greatly updated. The service was good but the cazuela was just... Heavy cream, not much flavor.

Be ready to wait. It takes them a lot of time to prepare your order. Corozo juice is awesome. Ceviche bomba OK but not remarkable.

They cooperate with a hostel where you get a free soup but we still had to negotiate to get it. The waitress made us feel unwelcome when we asked what type of fish they had. In the end I ordered meat which since most of the fish options I asked for were out, and the fish was overcooked (not medium rare as I had ordered). Overall a rather unpleasant experience.

Horrible shrimp lasagne. This was a bland fatty something with barely any taste. The pasta sheets were overcooked and afterwards drowned in melted butter. The cheese on top was not baked through and so still soft and not crunchy. The complementary starter was swedish bread with garlic oil ... a very weird combination for our palates. Maybe some other dishes are exquisite, but this lasagna was a disgrace.

I got food poisoning from ceviche so badly I still couldn't heal it. Waiters nice, interior very generic, taste worse than average if you live in for example Italian standards.

Disappointing. Shrimp were "Bay shrimp", very small, overcooked and flavorless. For 61,000 COP. Not a happy diner.
