    Take out. Peruvian ceviche
    Cindy D.

    This review is for the Peruvian ceviche take-out order. I think I found the best one in town. I ordered two ceviches for potluck. It was fresh. Perfect amount of lime and everything else. I am impressed. Two weeks after I ordered another one, it is that good that I highly recommend everyone to get some. The staff was wonderful and friendly. Street parking.

    Unexpected visit to this new found place...to me. The menu had different options, wasn't familiar with the cuisine, however easy to decide with the descriptions. The place appeared to have many regulars and the music was upbeat and entertaining. Service was great and the gal was pleasant. If your in the Longfellow neighborhood and looking for a cool experience stop Galapagos Bar and Grill. You will be intrigued.

    Encocado de camaron - shrimp in a coconut sauce
    Alli L.

    Great food and great service! We had a mix of items and all were delicious. I am eager to go back and try more!

    Churrasco
    Liv S.

    This was my first time at Galápagos, and after our wonderful experience, I will surely be back! We started with the empanadas de verde, the beef and cheese empanadas, and plantains with cheese. All of the appetizers were seasoned well and delicious, but not overly filling! I really recommend the cilantro dipping sauce with them. You also can't go wrong with any of their drink specials. For our entrees, we got the churrasco and the encocado mixto. The churrasco sirloin was tender and the egg cooked to order, but the real show stopper was the tomato sauce the sirloin and veggies were cooked in. It was truly an incredible experience. I also loved the brightness of the plantain, which was perfectly sweet. Though I'm not typically a fan of seafood, the encocado was amazing and I enjoyed how the creamy coconut sauce paired with the shrimp. I offered a bite of the churrasco to my mom and she said she already was already having the perfect meal. Very high praises. It is evident from the first to the last bite that the food at Galápagos is crafted and made with heart.

    Galapagos Asado

    One of the best Latin dishes I've ever had. The flavor of each protein was impeccable, and the beans were delicious. I'm terrible at eating leftovers, but you can bet I finished these. I'll be back!

    Fantastic , you will not walk away still hungry! Service was fantastic! Fuss filling!

    Chaulafan
    Vanessa S.

    I just moved to the neighborhood & this is my *second* time eating at Galapagos! I've ordered pick-up both times & each time I was greeted by a friendly face & my order was ready! The first time there I had the Bandeja Paisa & this time I had the Chaulafan (pictured). The proteins of each dish were cooked perfectly. I was impressed that the chicken, steak, shrimp in the Chaulafan were all tender & juicy. Portions are quite generous & one entree was enough for two of us to share! I highly recommend for Galapagos, I plan on returning for breakfast one day soon! Please support this local business, they're deserving of it! :)

    Seco de Carne (Beef Stew Platter)
    Jenny L.

    Was craving some savory Ecuadorian food and this place was worth the visit. Ordered the Seco de Carne (beef stew platter) and it came with some protein, sweet plantains, rice, and a side salad. Man was it delicious! My partner ordered the Churrasco platter and that was a flavorful meal too. For the appetizer we ordered Salchipapas which was a bowl of crispy fries and sliced hot dogs. The turtles at each table were adorable. 10/10.

    Caritas Arepas and empanadas
    sarah s.

    Ordered take out and everything was super tasty. Service was accommodating and friendly. Ordered both the cheese empanadas (more sweet) and the meat empanadas (corn dough-savory), carnitas arepas, Patacones Con Camarón, side of rice and beans and a kid's cheeseburger. I loved both the empanadas and the sauces that came with them. The hot sauce is delicious. The empanada orders came with 3 in each order. Kids loved it too. Will order again!

    Arepas con Carnitas
    Will C.

    So good! First time going, definitely will be returning. One thing to note is there isn't a drink menu, but don't be fooled! They can make drinks, very good we'll priced drinks might I add. Great service, good prices and chill local spot with a nice outdoor seating

Service: The service is friendly! When you arrive at the doors, there's a sign to knock but the employees are pretty good at spotting people so they will open the door to welcome you in and give you menus. You go to the register to order whenever you're ready. They do have some specials which are written on a chalkboard and the employees are able to tell you about the specials as well. Atmosphere: the restaurant was vibrant with colorful walls, and flowers on the table! It is a sit-down restaurant but fairly casual! It was well lit, and good for gathering with friends and family or coworkers! They also do to-go orders if you're not looking to dine-in! Food/drink: they have plenty of gluten free options and a couple vegetarian options. They are able to modify some of the vegetarian options to be vegan if needed. I ordered the vegetariano saltado, which was well balanced with some salty and tangy notes. It is listed as spicy on the menu but I found it to be quite mild. This was my first time having mote in a dish, which are boiled, peeled, corn kernels. They have a mild nuttiness, and a soft chewable texture which was very nice! Overall I enjoyed this dish and would order it again! The naranjilla juice was also very good! It had a tropical flavor, almost like a pineapple with orange juice flavor. I enjoyed the food overall, and thought the portions were good. Each person in my party of 3 had some leftovers remaining!! I would recommend Chimborazo to anyone interested in trying Ecuadorian food, and I will be back!

We especially enjoyed how conversation-friendly it was here. If you're looking to catch up with a friend, this is a great option! As for the menu, you'll find both Mexican and Ecuadorian options. Starting with the beverage offerings, you'll see many flavors of Jarritos, agua frescoes, and some Ecuadorian sodas. I tried the Tropical, which was delicious. Pink and fruity, it was not too sweet and had a little dose of je ne sais quoi. I really liked it! I saw empanadas on the menu, and while I have had them before, never have I ever seen them served with sugar. Of course we ordered them. They were awesome. Exactly the right balance of crisp and tender, the pastry was a delight. (Definitely sprinkle a little sugar on it.) The salty cheese provided a satisfying little cheese pull and went beautifully with the sugar, too. They also go great with the hot sauce, which is a must-have. It's acidic and bright from the vinegar and has a satisfying heat that tickles the tongue and goes great on everything. The plato vegetariano was the epitome of simple and satisfying: potatoes in a delicious and herby sauce; a fresh salad of lettuce, onion, and tomato; a fried slice of plantain; a mound of perfectly-cooked rice; and a cup of beans. It was comforting without being heavy. The dessert menu featured familiar favorites and one that was completely new to me: higos con queso. While I went with the flan, I did get to sneak a bite of this unusual and intriguing dessert: the figs are poached but retain their firmness and are served with a firm and salty cheese. The figs and cheese come with the poaching liquid, which is not sweet but also not quite savory--it's got quite a depth of flavor and makes for a truly unique dish. I recommend it if you prefer to end your meal with something that isn't super sweet. (If, on the other hand, you prefer a more traditional dessert, the flan here is lovely: a bit sturdier than some you may have had, it's got the right blend of sweet and caramelized--it was just right!) Street parking is available nearby, but if you come later in the evening, it will probably park up. This is a great choice for families and friends!

Named for perseverance and determination, Ena is a Latin fusion restaurant harmonizing flavors from Central and South America through a French technical lens, with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients. Chef-Owner Hector Ruiz's cooking reflects both formal culinary training and a clear respect for heritage, with sustainability woven into the way ingredients are chosen and treated. Seafood plays a leading role on the menu, handled with clear confidence throughout. The result feels thoughtful rather than showy, with hospitality that mirrors that same care. - Ceviche: A confident blend of Mexican and Peruvian influence. Chiles and ají amarillo set the tone, sharpened by pickled onion and lime. Balanced heat, clean acidity, and texture that stays true to form. Everything a ceviche should deliver. - Pasta de Langosta: Pappardelle with shrimp and lobster, well executed. Comforting without feeling heavy, this dish pulls together technique and flavor in a way that feels purposeful rather than indulgent. - Pescado: Blue and yellow corn-crusted red snapper paired with mole poblano and roasted tomatillo-guajillo salsa. The interplay of acidity, warmth, and depth complements the fish without overpowering it. Served over a crisp polenta cake with caramelized mushrooms, it's a smartly layered dish that stays focused. - Spanish Flan: a creamy vanilla custard with glossy caramel, accented by lemon-infused whipped cream and strawberry sauce, closed this meal on a high note. The cocktails strike a solid balance--spirited, and playful. The beverage list spans wine, cocktails, mocktails, beer, and seasonal offerings. A meal that stayed with me and IMO, worth adding to your next dinner rotation.

The place was jam packed and maybe overbooked, but the wait wasn't too bad. Not sure what it's like on a normal night, but the place is loud. When we first went years ago, the space was more romantic with low light. Now it's more brightly lit, so not as romantic. Drinks were creative, good, and priced well. My wife had the Scallops and Risotto, which she loved. I had the Paella de Mariscos, one of two versions they offer. The amount of seafood was incredible. The rice didn't have the typical bottom side crunch, but the dish was still very good overall. There were many dishes on the menu that sounded really good, so we'll definitely go again.
