    Todo muy rico. Nos encantó todo excepto por el encebollado, muy salado y la albacore estába muy fishy. Me pedí un chop sué con cocolon, un locro de papas. Los postres muy ricos. Un manjar.

    Crab ans shrimp salad delicious aide dish of 6 spears of asparagus for 9$. 1.50$ each and looks puny on plate. Made us sad. Crab and rice dish very garlicky and sauce on it was like Velveeta. Grilled fish delicious. A mixed bag, id say. I wouldnt go back. To many other great places!

    Born and raised in Miami, I never knew how delicious Ecuadorian food could be. As a seafood enthusiast, La Pata Gorda has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants. I’ve been coming here consistently, and the service is always top-notch. My favorite waiters, Byron and Nelson, always provide excellent service and ensure a 10/10 experience. I keep telling everyone I know to come here and try it out themselves!

    Delicious, a little piece of Ecuador in Miami, the crab has the same flavor as in Guayaquil, exquisite, excellent service and variety on the menu.
