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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Galapagos Asado
Ruby D.

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! :)

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!

Y'all, this place is a sleeper restaurant. It is in a bit of a sketchy area with less than stellar…read morereviews. However, my friends and I were craving Cajun food and wanted to give it a shot. Boy, were we surprised! The seafood was so fresh when we ordered. We got the shrimp, crawfish, and snow crab legs. Maybe they just got their shipment on Monday, but it really hit the spot. They did mess up my order ( I ordered House Mix with Medium spice but got Garlic Butter with Mild spice), but it didn't change the fact I enjoyed my meal thoroughly. Also, their corn was great. I'm usually a fan of seafood boils that have a thicker sauce consistency (like King Cajun), so if you're the same, you might want to skip. Their sauce is a bit on the more liquid side. I would say if you're gonna eat here, place your order online and pick up your food and head out. It will hit the spot, but you don't want your car parked around outside cause it's honestly a bit scary.

If you want seafood & aren't looking for a fancy restaurant, this is your place!…read more Food was good & shrimp a bit rubbery.. I appreciate the king crab came with slits cut on it so you can crack them open easier! I ordered the "Feast Combo 2" which includes half one king crab legs, half pound snow, crab legs, half pound shrimp with no head, one corn, one potato and side of fries! Cost was $66.48 with a pop!

While it's not the best one ever it is pretty good and better than others. If going for drinks at night a few things to note: there is usually a line to get in, the place will be absolutely packed inside, and they don't sell THC drinks (or are sold out every time I go). There is street metered parking available. Depending on when you go it could be hard to find. Luckily the North Loop makes for a good neighborhood walk.

We came here for restaurant week and had a very good experience!…read more Our server was great. Very personable and present without being overwhelming. The ambiance was very nice too. The place was very busy and had a good energy about it. I had the Jambalaya, which had chicken, sausage, and shrimp. It was pretty good and had a nice spicy kick. A good portion as well. Girlfriend had the shrimp etouffee with grits. It was nicely blackened and on a big bed of grits. Also spicy. Friend had the original lobster roll. He was surprised it came on Texas toast and not a roll. But he really enjoyed it. The dessert was a sinlme but delicious Cookit with ice cream. I recommend for restaurant week. And if you like seafood in the form of things like the lobster roll or shrimp etouffee that you don't get other places. I thought the jambalaya was fine but unremarkable. Not pictured here was the lobster mac and cheese. Which was only a small appetizer and I thought underwhelming (also, I don't like corn).

The food was fresh and delicious -- honestly can't complain at all. Definitely a solid spot if you're craving sushi!

Husband wanted sushi and I wanted ramen so we decided to try this place for best of the both world…read more We came around 1pm so there was a happy hour menu (selected smaller portion $5 appetizers and $13 sushi roll (not really cheap for sushi happy hour). Cream cheese - typical but kind of small Chicken Katsu- crunch outside and not dry inside Ramen- from the presentation, does not look creamy. It also did not taste creamy. Doesn't have the typical tonkotsu ramen taste I've had before. Broth is a little bland. The pork belly is basically pork belly and not the typically ramen chashu pork I'm used to. It was a disappointing bowl of ramen. Sushi- presentation wise, does not look fancy. The plating looks like what you would get at an all you can eat place. Per husband, it was decent good. As for me, based on ramen, I would not go back for that. Maybe next time I will give sushi a try but not sure if it's a god back to place. If you want $5 appetizers, it's worth a try. If you get happy hour sushi rolls for $13 each is not too bad but regular price is about $17 per roll (like dynamite roll.) Service was quick. Food came out in 10 mins or less but it was not busy when we went as well.

I came here for my birthday and Allie made sure I was absolutely taken care of in every way possible. I'm pretty extra and extra extra is what I got! I was so impressed with everything! I ordered the 1884 high roller & strawberry spritz! Both so tasty! The whiskey was so smooth...incredible! The presentation with the gold foil on the glass really made it look outta this world! The spritz was perfect! We had the oysters, tuna tartare, Heritage steak, wedge salad, mushrooms & crab cakes. All outstanding. The star of the show, though, for me was the desserts! I ordered the 16 layer chocolate cake AND raspberry pistachio cheesecake...because that's how I roll! Omg...that decadent chocolate cake may be the best I've ever had!! Everyone must get that cake. I know I will always get it because it is mind blowing! The cheesecake was delish, too, but I prefer a more solid in texture type cheesecake myself. Just preference...but it was also a tasty dessert! The atmosphere is something else. I just loved it there. The beauty and history. This was THE perfect place to celebrate my birthday! Thank you so much, Allie & her manager, for making sure I had a top notch dining experience! Highly highly highly recommend!!!

The ambiance was some of the best I have ever seen at a restaurant, as it was an old bank, there are some spots that are from the original building. It was so open and decorated beautifully. Despite being one open large room, the noise level was fine!! As it was my birthday, they greated me with a birthday card signed by the staff and I got a complimentary dessert. The food was fabulous; we had the chopped salad for an appetizer with their delicious pretzel bread and whipped butter. For dinner we had the mac and cheese, the mushrooms and the porterhouse steak. The steak will live in my dreams it was cooked to perfection wiith a chimichurri sauce to dip it in. The only thing I could maybe call not a re-order would be the mac, I think I wished I got the mashed potatoes but it was delicious nonetheless. Service was great, our wine and water glasses stayed full and they cleared our table off so fast. Definitely will be back!

Unbelievable food! Martina is an absolutely fantastic restaurant with an incredible vibe…read more We sat at the bar, and the bartenders were so friendly, attentive, and completely on top of everything. The service made an already great dinner even better. Everything we ordered was delicious. The cacio e pepe ravioli was rich and perfectly done, the ribeye was cooked beautifully and the potato churros and chimichurri that came with it were incredible. The pork chop was another standout, and the grilled watermelon salad was such a unique combination of flavors and a perfect way to start the meal. Honestly, there wasn't a single thing we ordered that we wouldn't get again. Great atmosphere, great service, and seriously amazing food. Martina is absolutely worth a visit if you're in Minneapolis.

Daughter had the steak & eggs and enjoyed it with the chimichurri. The carbonara was rich, as expected and the crunchy buts of guanciale added great texture. The Brussels sprouts salad was literally a mountain of salad and was a good break from the rich pasta. The Argentine chorizo was a hit as well with a whole link coiled in between the bread. They gave us a free birthday coconut gelato which has these amazing crunchy cocoa bits. Service was impeccable as expected!
