Techos Bajos
Restaurante Techos Bajos
An affordable seafood restaurant opened in 1950 beside the fish market at Santa Lucía fishing port, with fish brought straight from the market a few steps away.
Located at the Santa Lucía fishing port in Cartagena, right beside the fish market. Opened in 1950, it is now in its third generation. Fresh fish and seafood are served daily, mainly fried or cooked on the flat-top grill. The signature dishes are mixed fried seafood, octopus and griddled baby squid, and the menu also includes homemade croquettes and rice dishes. The room is spacious and a bit noisy, with checked tablecloths and no fancy decor, but prices are reasonable and it is a favorite with locals. Booking is recommended on Sundays and public holidays. A taxi from the old town takes about 5 minutes.
Opening hours
Mon closed; other days roughly 9:30–16:00; Fri and Sat evenings 19:00–24:00 also open
