    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.

    18% gratuity at a restaurant in coral gables is crazy and rare. The food was very salty and the seafood I had with my order “the catch of the day” was extremely over cooked. The service was very good and the waiter was very nice. The $30 bottle of still water was something I’ve never seen in coral gables. I will not be returning.

    As an Ecuadorian and loving away, the food made me feel like home. That feeling that warms your heart and puts a smile in your face. Excellent service, the ambiance and the music were perfect! For sure I’m coming back to try other dishes. This time I had the Locro, Chopsue and ceviche, everything so tasty.

    Experiencing the Ecuadorian cuisine was part of my perfect day because I took my parents with me which loved and enjoyed the place, we had a chopsue and the traditional cazuela, we also had the ecuadorian platter, everything we had was amazing, I can’t wait to come back and tasted a different plate from their menu.
