El Muelle de Darwin

I was a bit skeptical ordering from here (although the menu lists gluten free) due to the lack of reviews regarding gluten free. I get very sick from cross contamination but the server ensured they used separate and clean kitchen equipment, I ordered the salmon and shrimp entree that came with mashed potatoes and veggies and it was delicious! Very fresh and I did not get sick. Highly recommend!

El Muelle de Darwin is a gem on Santa Cruz Island! The service was exceptional, the atmosphere vibrant and welcoming, and the food absolutely delicious. A must-visit for an unforgettable dining experience!

Not going to complain. Stopped here for happy hour and an appetizer it was excellent. I had the mojito x 2🤪 along with the grilled octopus. It was perfect😊👍 Update February 4, 2024 I returned the following day, mostly because it was Sunday, many restaurants were closed and didn’t find any with happy hour. I ordered the mixed ceviche which was outstanding. The kitchen is open and very clean and professional. It also boasts a skilled very pretty chef 😍

Really delicious food, both for vegetarians and meat lovers. Best Italian food I ate in south America ! If you're not on a budget- it's the right place for you! Very close to Darwin's research center.

The salmon was delicious, the risotto was one of the best my partner ever had! They took very long with our order but they apologized giving us an entree and coffee later. Very good service and management

The grilled T-bone, tomahawk and even the fillet was very chewy and almost inedible. Mixed grill platter very salty and doesn’t feel too fresh. Service is slow for bigger groups.

Great bar and restaurant on the Main Street. Tasty chickpea burger and chips with spiced red cabbage on the side. Crispy quinoa salad also very good. Flavoursome salsa piccante on request. Excellent almond milk cappuccino too. There’s two floors both open to the air so it has a fresh feel.

My sister and I ordered a tiramisu each and it tasted a little sour/off. We told the server about the taste and he reassured us that it’s fine and they were made today. Also that we can’t swap it out for anything else. I ended up finishing mine and my sister gave the rest to my cousin since she only had a bite. We both got food poisoning the next day when we’re leaving Galápagos. Otherwise the service and drinks were fine.
