Well! we bought tickets for an event on 2/7/26 unfortunately from the time we arrived to the place, we feel cold any where.. yes on Saturday January 7 2026 the weather was cold onside the restaurant, it was one of the cold days, but inside the place, with the 15 people (my group) inside the restaurant, the cold was so terrible, all were using our jackets and hats to avoid being freezing. When we asked to the person in charge of the place (owner) he said it is what it is. We saw the workers with jackets, yes with jackets inside serving us. In 25 years in United States, being in many places around the country I NEVER NEVER ENTER A PLACE with no heat it all and the owner who just said it is what it is , i had this business for more than 20 years and it is good. If we call the building department of brooklyn to let them about this issue they will close that place. It was at least 40 degrees inside. So if you think about going to this place, you will not have heat if is in the winter time and at the summer, I am not sure how the air condition will be.. I was so un happy with the answer of the owner and knowing about HVAC he just didn't care about customers, we were scammed with the event organizer plus we got this place what I think was a garage before looking from out side the metal garage doors. Unfortunately we are here already coming from westchester county and we really regret how this place exist because i was very cold from 6pm to 8pm. The event was scheduled to started at 12:30pm We tried to be happy and enjoy the hundred of dollars we paid to be here ....after 2 hours of suffering from the cold I call my Uber and left the place (can't give other name) and i was so happy y was warm again for all my trip back to home. The $$ I paid for the Uber were the best money I invested in many years for my self to be warm, relax happy going back home. The owner of that place really don't know how he survive to the building department and customers.

I went to El Manaba this evening and everything about the experience was disappointing. They didnât have several items we wanted to order, including no sangria at all. The rice tasted like it was reheated from the day before, dry and flavorless. The ceviche was disgusting and completely inedible.
On top of that, the person attending us didnât know anything about the menu and wasnât helpful at all. Overall, horrible food and horrible service. Definitely not coming back.

Not bad. Food ok

First at all this place should never be called (EL MANABA) in ManabĂ we donât have places like this. Paid 57 dollars for a cubetazo 6 beers. Place needs an update asap. Bathroom is disgusting. Servers didnât know what she was doing. One star is too much. And if you use your credit card they charge you 5 dollars extra. Saw the food being served and it doesnât look edible. This place needs to be updated with new owner or closed . And bottle service goes for $250. NOT RECOMENDED DONT GO .

We arrived and there was no one to help us, she was busy inside, but other than that, very friendly and always with a smile đ, the place is clean, the door that goes to the bathroom is a little scary because it sounds very hard but the rest everything was fine

The food is very bad, I would not recommend it although it has a good presentation, the food is not fresh, I ordered a breaded shrimp and they came with 6 shrimp with 2 kilos of dough and 1 liter of oil, I had to spend 10 minutes removing the extra dough. I think this place is more of a bar than a restaurant đ¸ the only good thing was the juices.
As for the premises, it is a very spacious place but the bathrooms are in terrible condition.

The worst Ecuadorian food, lunch has no flavor. Bean soup is like a stew with water. I really felt scammed don't go
Definitely this place is not to sit down and eat with the family, the food is very bad, terrible, I do not recommend, rather they should put a billiards something since as a restaurant, nothing to see makes Ecuadorian food look bad.

When this restaurant started it was a very cozy place because it was owned by another person and that person knew how to run his business. The food was good. The service was good. It was a good atmosphere. But after the owner, I don't know what happened. The food is not the same and It looks very Expensive for the quality of the food. Based on my experience, I will not return to that place again because there are better places where you can pay for what you eat and good service. Based on my experience, I will not return there again. I do not recommend it.
