La Garrapata

Had the seafood grill, chicken curry and fish grill.

All 3 of them were good. Maybe bit more chilly for the curry but was good overall experience.

* the server did give me spicy salsa to satisfy my taste buds.

Great place!!! Almost magical!!! Sitting watching the world go by and enjoying the beauty of the island. My girlfriend's favorite place in Santa Cruz! Great service! Great Food!

Great atmosphere for dinner. Ate here 3 times over 2 weeks in Puerto Ayora, everything was always good. The live music adds a nice touch!

Great food and excellent service! Stop by for some lobster and Ecuadorean wine!

I had the simple garlic shrimp, which actually had enough peices to enjoy with the rest of my sides. It was so full of flavour and cooked just right. My husband had their steak. It was amazing! "I'm all shrimped out," he said. It was cooked to perfection!

Great happening place. Our food was the best that we ate in the Galapagos Islands. The shrimp salad was delicious. Also recommend the chicken curry. Mmmm. Margaritas during happy hour were yummy - 2 for $10 and they were full strength!! Staff were very friendly and the service was great.

So amazing! the place is busy for a reason! a short walk from the pier with open air seating that is covered. the food is great and comparably affordable. the service was good but you need to realize that it does take longer which is true for almost every place we went to. don't miss this place for dinner!

Excellent service (Thanks to Osvaldo), great selection of good. I loved the octopus in garlic sauce with veggies and potatoes. Fresh local fruit juices are just delicious. Live music was so beautiful.

Open atmosphere with hospitable hosts, servers and bartenders.

We were so happy to discover this restaurant being vegan and then saw the reasons why lots of people were there when we arrived. They have a few really nice vegan options, the food is very nice and fresh and the presentation very nice. I ordered the quinoa with vegetables and it was a nice portion so much I took some home for breakfast the next day! Service was spot on and a nice live music showed up with pan flutes and guitar. It’s right next to Bongo bar, we did not stay late enough for this to open. We would definitely go back to La Garrapata.

VERY fresh octopus - extremely happy with my meal. My friend had the seafood pasta which look amazing. Friendly service. The menu even has the price calculated with tax and service.

Really great food, casual atmosphere and very friendly staff. All the plates we ordered were excellent. The owner (I think?) of the restaurant was really nice, even helped to shell the lobster we ordered.

Lane is rocky and sandy. Wear a pair of shoes for comfortable walk. No vehicle for there. It's little far off. Beautiful place situated within two hills. Clear and very cold water. For marginal swimmers life jacket is available on rent. Must visit place. Fishes are available in plenty.

Good fresh food, very friendly and helpful service. We became returning customers. A booking recommended as the place tends to be full in the evening.

Staff very friendly and helpful speaking good English, it has a nice laid back atmosphere. Food was excellent on the two evenings we visited and the menu is in both Spanish and English

Splendid place to dine. Delicious cuisine, charming atmosphere, delightful service and live music. Just about perfect.

Our favorite restaurant in Puerto Ayora and we dined there twice. The dishes were all great and worth the price.

Hands down the best chocolate cake I’ve eaten. I kept going back multiple times a day and they eventually ran out 😭

Beat tuna steak I ever had, try the one with the pepper sauce! Also fantastic staff and nice venue!

Lobster was perfect and easy to eat. Kids loved the grilled chicken, pasta, and steak brochette dishes.
