La Pata Gorda

First time here in Miami and came to this amazing restaurant. We had a crab bisque that is FILLED with crab meat in every single bite. The grilled seafood platter is also too notch. The slight hint of sweetness in fresh seafood and charred flavour made our night complete. We especially love the octopus it is so tender and full of umami. Staff here is absolutely lovely - George is friendly and warm. He greeted us with a big smile the moment we walked in and is very hospitable throughout the meal. He was patient with our questions about the menu and was attentive to us the entire evening. I would recommend this place 10/10 for those who want an amazing seafood experience with amazing vibe and service!

It’s hard to compete against my wife for amazing Ecuadorian cuisine, but this restaurant makes a valiant effort. We had the Ecuadorian Platter (a sampling of several foods) and Arroz Marinero (seafood and rice, a little like Spanish paella). My wife thought the food was a little off from the real thing, but we both enjoyed what we ate. The blue crab in the seafood dish is very distinctive from American crab and is definitely is worth a try. They served an excellent sweet liqueur at the end.

This is an Ecuadorian restaurant, and since I’m from Ecuador, I brought my boyfriend (who is from Ukraine) knowing we were going to have a great experience and it definitely exceeded our expectations. Our server, George, was incredibly kind and charismatic. He explained the menu to my boyfriend in a very clear and detailed way and knew every dish perfectly The drinks were amazing. My boyfriend ordered a piña colada, which was absolutely spectacular, and my drink (Guayaquil Mule)was also incredibly good. The food was delicious !!🤤My boyfriend ordered the Catch of the Day, a grilled fish served with calamari and shrimp, creamy risotto, and asparagus, and it was outstanding. I ordered the Chopsué, which was also absolutely delicious After we finished eating, my boyfriend was so happy that h

Absolutely loved our experience at La Pata Gorda! The service was outstanding, everyone was so friendly and attentive. You can really taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients in every dish. The shrimp ceviche and the locro were incredible, full of authentic Ecuadorian flavor. We also tried the cocolón and the crab chopsuey, both delicious! Definitely one of the best Ecuadorian restaurants around. Can’t wait to go back!
