Simply best crabs worldwide. Amazing quality for such a price. Crabs in all shapes. Perfection
My favorite restaurant for over a decade! I couldn't wait to come back and have their parihuela de mariscos! Excellent! We started with the fried calamari, these were very simple, nothing memorable, but we did also have the grilled octopus with chipotle honey, this was a different dish, the octopus was tender and savory, it is definitely worth a try. My wife had the crab stuffed avocado, very good, my mom, the crab stuffed cannelloni, and my dad, the grouper in crab sauce au gratin, I, on the other hand, had the seafood soup and a crab stuffed sweet plantain. Everything was wonderful and the magnificent quality I've come to enjoy, and expect, from the Red Crab. Definitely a restaurant to visit, more than once!
One of the best places I been to in Guayaquil. We had amazing service from our Server Stalin. Amazing Service and even better food. Thank you for a good time

Red crab's food never fails. What still need improvent is sound proofing the place. It is way noisy and if you go in a large group like I did, there was no way I could hear the conversation across the table.
