Went to Centro Histórico for a walk with my wife. The cab dropped us off at the corner of the street where the restaurant is located. We walked by, saw the mirror outside, but did not stop. A blind guy selling souvenirs close to restaurant asked us if we wanted to buy anything. We got couple of gifts and asked him for a place to eat. He recommended this place. As soon as we walked in, we felt the lovely atmosphere. The were quick to take our order. I asked for the pichana and my wife asked for chicken. When I saw the food, I already knew it was going to be good. But soon realized that my feelings did not do justice to how good it was. The best pichana I ever had. And I am not sure what they did to my wife’s chicken, but that was the softest chicken breast ever. This place is worth every penny. Highly, highly recommended. The food in Cartagena is good all around, but this restaurant stands out.

So I took this one fat broad from the hood to Pepe Anca just for the hell of it. We had a good time. It was funny to see her wolfing down a meal that she couldn't ever afford The inside is just as classy as the outside, and, as expected in this part of the city, I was the only negro diner. It wasn't too bad, though. I didn't get too many stares from other diners, so that was nice. The noise level was acceptable. It didn't matter too much anyway, since my date and I used Google Translate for much of the communication. We were treated normal by our waiter, though he seemed to be somewhat in a hurry. The waitstaff didn't smile much, though I didn't check to see if they were smiling when attending to the white diners. To our waiter's credit, he checked up on us a couple of times. Earned his tip, I guess. I'll probably come back to Pepe Anca with a classy lady, take my time to order something interesting, and truly enjoy the atmosphere.

A nice surprise hidden in barranquilla. When you walk in, you're immediately greeted and welcomed into the restaurant. Once seated, you already know it's going to be a fine dining experience. The service was great, and we even had the manager come over to help serve and make sure everything was to our liking. She was friendly and professional. The food did not disappoint. The serving size was perfect, and you can taste the love the cooks poured into the food with each bite. We are foodies at heart, and Pepe Anca was one restaurant we are happy to have visited. Definitely one to add to our list of must visit again and again. The menu had many options, and we need to come back to continue the culinary experience. Thank you, Pepe Anca!

We choose Pepe Anca for the steak but there are more options, like the risotto nero which was delicious. Steak came undercooked a bit, but after a bit on the grill it came out perfect. Service was ok. Pity we did not have any dessert.
