    Felicito al server que nos atendió muy amable y servicial, los cangrejos no estaban frescos, nosotros cómo cangrejeros habituales notamos que estuvieron secos por dentro y se sentían cómo si hubiesen estados congelados. Cómo sugerencia sería bueno agregar a la promoción de cangrejos maduros o plátano verde que también saben ponerlo, es parte de la tradición. Los cocteles excelente muy ricos.

    The rice tasted stored/stale. También el aji. The juice was too watered down. But I see the potential. Would give it a second try.

    What a surprise! La Pata Gorda truly exceeded my expectations. Every dish was packed with flavor, and the quality was outstanding. I tried the Chopsuey and the Crab Claws—both were absolutely spectacular. The atmosphere is great, and the service was top-notch. Enera provided amazing service, making the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back soon!

    Really enjoyed dinner at La Pata Gorda! The food was very tasty, served beautifully, and wait staff were excellent. The shrimp ceviche was excellent with a good portion of shrimp, as was the Galapagos Brujo Filet - highly recommended. The Crab and Oysters Au Gratin was nothing short of pathetic. Very very small oysters and no crab in sight. Do not order this disappointment. The wine by the glass list is a bit short. A friend got the ribeye and said it was excellent. Overall a good value for the money. I'd definitely go back.
