    Had to wait more than 45 minutes in spite of having a reservation. The food lacked taste.

    The environment inside the room was fabulous with great decoration and ample ty of comfort on the table. This was my first time for Ecuatorian food and definitely it was delicious with many flavors from seafood and crabs. The Red Sangria was very peculiar and a good surprise on its flavors. I will love to repeat the restaurant to try other plates and enjoy family time.

    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!
