Diners rave about the attentive service and generous portions, making it a highly recommended destination even if it's a short trip from the city center. While the seafood is the star, unique desserts also earn high praise.
"Best seafood in Cuenca - according to at least two locals we spoke to. And they are right - the seafood is fresh and flavorful, and honestly priced. We went there twice for the friendly service and dishes. Highly recommend the red prawns and arroz.
If the homemade orange ice cream is available for that day please find some stomach space for it. It is deeply intense and goes very well with the complimentary local liquor (risoli)."

"One of the best places in the city, if you look for a sea food flavors. They have really energetic and courteous staff, so even if you have not reserved a table, you will be taken care of.
I personally ordered their tuna steak and it was delightful! One of the best I have ever eaten! They definitely know how to prepare it to be perfectly made both outside and inside.
The prices were fairly reasonable, and the portions were in a good size.
Highly recommended!"
Ofir Malamud
"Hands down the best marisqueria in the city! It may be a bit out of the city center, but it is definitely worth the walk! Everything in the menu is reasonably priced and the serving is generous.
Not to mention fresh!
