On Miracle Mile, La Pata Gorda gives Coral Gables a seafood destination with a distinctly Ecuadorian point of view. Its menu centers on mangrove crab, ceviches and Latin-inspired seafood dishes, offering a welcome change from the familiar American seafood template. That Latin American influence is the restaurant’s clearest calling card, bringing regional character to a category that can otherwise feel predictable. Hearty meat dishes, lunch specials and cocktails broaden the experience without pulling focus from the seafood. For Coral Gables diners seeking flavor and identity beyond the usual fish-house formula, La Pata Gorda earns its place on the Gazette’s Best of Coral Gables list.
The Gazette Take: La Pata Gorda puts an Ecuadorian accent on Miracle Mile seafood.
