18% service charge considering that he didn’t put in my order is crazy. After 50 minutes of waiting I asked and all he said was “sorry”
I ordered the seafood platter but it never came. I thought since it was seafood it would take longer but the 18% service charge is was ticked me off since he didn’t even provide a service

The food was good except for the salad I believe either it wasn’t fresh or had too much vinegar it just tasted very sour and the spicy sauce on the table also didn’t look fresh. The service could improve since the food is cooked downstairs the servers are taking the order and also are traveling back and forth for other tables and just seemed a lot for just 2 workers. Taxes and gratitude are added to the bill.

This establishment was originally in another location on the same block. Due to a fire at the old location, it moved to a more spacious area. The new location looks more inviting as well. The ambiance is filled with appetizing scents and great music. When my group and I arrived, we were directed to sit where we wanted. Our table was only the third table occupied yet the owner still had to finish setting up the table. We placed our order of ceviche de pescado, chaulafan, encebollado de pescado, viche de pescado, and fritada. We ordered Ecuadorian sodas which is a must at an Ecuadorian restaurant. Our drinks arrived two minutes after placing the order and then no one approached our table until the food came 20 minutes later. The food then arrived and everything was delicious. The pork fried chunks were flavorful. The encebollado was filled with pescado and the portion of the meal was plentiful. By the time we finished our meal, there was only one other table in the place. We were sitting with our empty plates in front of us for about 10 minutes and no one approached our table. After realizing no one was going to approach our table, we walked to the front, paid the bill, and left.
Overall, the food was delicious and plentiful for the price. The prices for the soda did not match the price on the menu. If I had to propose a suggestion from a fellow Ecuadorian that wants to see this business succeed, I would propose two. The first suggestion would be to provide your customers with complimentary chips, nachos, or even popcorn. This would give your customers a chance to snack on something before their food comes. The second suggestion would be to be more attentive to the customers. Our table was only approached three times: when we placed our order, when we received our drinks, and then when we received our food. No one asked us if we wanted another drink or how the food was.
The million dollar question: would I revisit this establishment? Yes, I would.

Even after an extreme makeover, this restaurant still lives up to its high standards. Having some of the freshest tasting food while appealing to a wide range of customers! Let Maravillas be your next date night or friend reunion. 10/10 recommend.

We had previously ordered takeout, but this time we decided to dine in. The food and service were both excellent. However, we were surprised to see an 18% service charge added to our bill, along with an option to provide an additional tip. I am curious as to why we would be expected to pay both a service charge and a tip. Is it customary to pay both, or is one or the other more appropriate?

The service very slow I waited 45 mins for drinks the staff had bad attitude. I ordered churasco with rice french fries the food came as I was eating it I found a bug ? in my food they didn't even apologize to me the the only thing they did didn't charge me for it. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. They are very short staff.

The previous location was way way better staff were friendly and food was good. Staff was constantly arguing with each other. Phone was ringing non stop and no one would bother to answer. Wasn’t the only person disappointed with service and 18% for this service. Need someone in charge or old management back
Coastal food made by coastal people. First time I went and ordered encebollado, hot as it should be and spectacular flavors. And the price is very good.
