What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bar Las Termas del Pincho is lauded for its authentic Spanish cuisine and welcoming atmosphere, with many praising the affordable menu del dia and the friendly, helpful staff. While the food is generally considered excellent, especially tapas like artichokes and croquetas, some reviews mention inconsistent service and occasional issues like slow preparation times or cleanliness concerns.
"We had just arrived and were staying at a hotel down the street and wanted some tapas to get our evening started. I ordered a vermouth that I saw behind the bar unopened and the server went to ask the owner who came over himself to open the bottle and tell me that it was a local brand not available outside of the country. It was really good and I thanked him for his hospitality. Our server suggested Crujiente de Pato, I love duck but wasn’t sure what crujiente was but we love trying new dishes. It was spectacular! as was everything else we ordered. Needless to say we returned the next day because I had to have more of that duck!"

"I tried couple of their tapas, like the octopus, the fried duck, the squid, the croquettes, the stuffed pepper, the artichokes and 1 main course which is the fried cod.
Calamar a la Andaluza or the Andalusian squid best one along with the croquettes. It is perfectly salty, deep fried perfection.
The Crujiente de pato aka crispy duck is indeed crispy and good but just intensely sweet, like super crunchy with sticky sweet, it is a bit confusing.
The Alcachofas a la plancha con aceite de trufa , jamón y parmesano aka Grilled artichokes with truffle oil, ham and parmesan cheese is a seasonal product which I am not a big fan of becauseit's a bit sour?
The Pulpo a la Cartagenera aka Cartagenera style octopus is fine, not too soft but not too chewy, it looked small but actually you got a good amount of meat in there.
The Tacos de bacalao frito con cebolla confitada, piñones y peras al vino aka Fried cod cubes with glazed onion, pine nuts and pears in wine is fried to perfection and the fish is so flaky and not fishy at all, the batter is a little bit too salty to my liking, but the onion that comes with it is suuuuper sweet and I don't think they goes well together.
Pimientos rellenos de rabo de novillo con salsa de hongos y foie aka Peppers stuffed with young bull tail with mushrooms and foie sauce is actually soo good and creamy, but I wasn't a big fan of goat cheese so I really didn't like this one, but if you enjoy goat cheese than I do recommend getting it. The menus are digital with QR scan, and they have English menu so that's very helpful. The waiter wasn't the most friendly but he is quite helpful.

"Massive place, with the kind of impersonal, mediocre food and service you expect catering to crowds. The good: I was seated quickly with little wait. All the servers looked rushed off their feet, which is fair enough for the venue I guess. Matrimonio (standard Murcia tapa) was decent enough. Scallop with kimchi was nicely cooked but suffocated in salty kimchi mayo twice the size of the scallop - scrape most of it off and it was decent. Pulpo (not the Cartegena style which was sold out) was passable but too salty and a bit dried out. I don’t know if this the standard for Cartagena but pretty mediocre-bad compared to the places (even very busy ones) in Murcia city where you can taste the quality of the ingredients from the region."
