Holy moly this meal was fire. You know what it is - the Bendeja paisa, all the protein you will ever need in a single dish. First time having Colombian food and it was a real treat. 5/5, definitely recommend

It has been a few years, ten to be exact, since the last time I came here. I was amazed at how much it had change. From the small store to nice spaces, open sitting areas inside and outside, perfect for a Sunday lunch! Started with some chicharron that let me tell you was cooked to perfection! For the big meals went with Seco de carne and Lomo Saltado. Delicious! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for the great service and wish you success.

I recently dined at Los Galapagos Latin Restaurant, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic Latin flavors that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, transporting me to a vibrant Latin American setting. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that every need was met promptly. Overall, my experience at Los Galapagos was nothing short of amazing, and I can't wait to return for another culinary adventure. Highly recommend to anyone craving an exceptional dining experience!

The food was excellent!!!! I really enjoyed it. I recommend the encebollado and the whole fried fish. The encebollado was authentic and my Ecuadorian husband loved it. It was the best food I’ve had in a long time. Kind servers and we were really happy with our experience.

Oh my... this is by far my favorite South American restaurant ever!!! The food tastes just like back home. The quality and quantity are just perfect. If you want to try new something new, please come to Los Galapagos. You won’t regret it.

If you are looking for authentic home made food this is the place to go, me an my wife got the mixed plate which is pork, rice, beans, and a veggie mix. The blackberry drink in milk or water is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this if you've never tried a mixture of Latin foods that is absolutely to die for.
