El Manaba

Well! we bought tickets for an event on 2/7/26 unfortunately from the time we arrived to the place, we feel cold any where.. yes on Saturday January 7 2026 the weather was cold onside the restaurant, it was one of the cold days, but inside the place, with the 15 people (my group) inside the restaurant, the cold was so terrible, all were using our jackets and hats to avoid being freezing. When we asked to the person in charge of the place (owner) he said it is what it is. We saw the workers with jackets, yes with jackets inside serving us. In 25 years in United States, being in many places around the country I NEVER NEVER ENTER A PLACE with no heat it all and the owner who just said it is what it is , i had this business for more than 20 years and it is good. If we call the building dep

I went to El Manaba this evening and everything about the experience was disappointing. They didn’t have several items we wanted to order, including no sangria at all. The rice tasted like it was reheated from the day before, dry and flavorless. The ceviche was disgusting and completely inedible. On top of that, the person attending us didn’t know anything about the menu and wasn’t helpful at all. Overall, horrible food and horrible service. Definitely not coming back.

First at all this place should never be called (EL MANABA) in Manabí we don’t have places like this. Paid 57 dollars for a cubetazo 6 beers. Place needs an update asap. Bathroom is disgusting. Servers didn’t know what she was doing. One star is too much. And if you use your credit card they charge you 5 dollars extra. Saw the food being served and it doesn’t look edible. This place needs to be updated with new owner or closed . And bottle service goes for $250. NOT RECOMENDED DONT GO .

Well! we brought tickets for an event (concert 2/7/26) and unfortunately from the time we arrived the place was very cold , yes on Saturday January 7 2026 the weather was cold inside the restaurant, we all 15 people my group were inside the restaurant with jackets and hats to avoid being cold. When we ask why this is that cold the person in charge of the event (ruben) said it is what is. We saw all people who work here with jackets. In 25 years in United States, went to many places around the country and states I NEVER NEVER ENTER A PLACE with no heat it all I said I may have to call the building department of brooklyn to let them about this issue. So if you think about going to this place, be sure you will not have a heat if is winter. Unfortunately we are here already coming from west

Stumbled upon this place. Food was delicious. We had a party of 11 and everyone was satisfied. Highly recommend. Food was excellent as was the service. Juan Pablo was attentive, friendly, made great recommendations, and was patient with our limited Spanish. He was an exceptional server and made our experience very memorable!
