Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
La Pata Gorda delights with "authentic Ecuadorian food" and "superb service." The "flavorful" dishes, such as seafood cazuela and chopsuey, are highly praised. The "lively ambiance" and personalized service, especially from staff like Byron, enhance the experience. While a few issues with reservations and specific dishes were noted, the overall dining experience remains "amazing."

    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.

    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!
