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.
2. El Sena Restaurant and School
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
El Sena is the exquisite restuarant run by the school of the same name. The staff is made up of of the best students who do a precise job at delivering the best quality service, food, and atmosphere. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, very chic, and offers a unique and extraordinary dining experience in old Cartagena. The person we met both times we dined there is VICTOR JAVIER CONSUEGRA CLAVIJO, Chief Instructor. I do not have an Email address or web site for the restaurant, but Javier can be reached at at: consuegra0712. The students there are getting top quality training and we want to support their efforts at excellence. The food and service is as good as it gets, and the young people in charge are a delight. Definitely worth tracking down.

Comida típica chilena e o bom disso é que é muito bem servido os pratos. E com um ótimo preço em Cartagena.

Un amigo me invitó a comer completos en el local. A pesar de ser pequeño (y que podría estar mejor distribuido para tener más espacio) la atención fue súper buena y esperamos súper poco para comer (he ido dos veces y siempre está lleno). Los completos exquisitos, con sabor casero. De hecho en mi primera visita pedí uno normal y quede con gusto a poco, así que en la segunda a la segura uno grande !

I went with 2 friends for afternoon drinks. Staff were accommodating as we didn't want to order food. One of my friends was put off by the price of the food. Would go again.

Nice location close to Casa Marin villa. Great family style food and drink. Large food portions!! We had the pork chops and chicken and rice and salad.....too much for two people!!
7. Don Waldo Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 16 reviews
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 and that it make us happy because we send dishes full of food and these returns to us empty, as it should be!

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.

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.

A substantial breakfast spread in this restaurant was included in the room rate for Hotel San Antonio. We also had drinks here the night before (pisco sour and beer). Quite the view overlooking the working port!

Comida servida muito bem preparada, conta com todos os tipos de comida, mas por estar perto do porto do local, o que mais se pede são frutos do mar.
