1. Palmeiras

Parrillada / Grill restaurante.
Reviewed By PVTexas
My wife and I ventured here in order to try something new as opposed to our Manta favorites. Our dinner was good but not spectacular. I would recommend Palmeiras if you are in Manta for an extended period and would like some variety. However, if you are here for a brief stay, there are better options. Palmeiras probably deserves its TripAdvisor ranking just below Manta's top restaurants. The toasted bread was a nice starter and the pesto and aji that were served along with it were both very good. I ordered the pork ribs and they were very flavorful. I also enjoyed the accompanying shredded cabbage, carrot and cucumber salad. The yucca fries were fresh and perfectly fried. My wife's grilled shrimp (along with the same salad and fries) were not nearly as good. In an area were shrimp are very plentiful, these were relatively small and appeared more sautéed than grilled. The house red wine was very fruity with a slight taste of soap and was undrinkable. Service was very attentive and friendly. For a basic meal it was good but a little pricey for the simple preparation. The atmosphere was nice with all the tables being outside. There are two sides to the restaurant. To the left of the entrance is a brightly lit and somewhat sterile seating area while to the right there is a more dimly lit and relaxing garden area. I have heard some people complain about the road noise but the adjacent road is currently closed for construction and the environment was very relaxing on our visit.

This is a nice meat restaurant in a good location. Manta, or Ecuador in general, does not have tender meat. It usually comes straight off grass with no feedlot to tenderize it. So, I was very surprised to find this restaurant.I had the Lomo Fino (Tenderloin) and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They are known all over for their hamburgers. My wife had one with mushrooms, caramelized onions, and cheese.They come with many varieties of toppings, but all are 14 oz patties (yes, only 2 ounces under a pound) and the meat is very lean; it tasted like ground sirloin. The other couple with us had a NY Strip and a ribeye; both were tender an delicious.I thought that possibly they got their meat from Argentina (the best in SA, if not the world). We asked the manager, and was told that it was really Ecuadorian. Some came from Casa de Las Carnes, in Manta, an others were from Quito.If you want meat it would be difficult to find better in Manta.

This is my go to restaurant nearby. I live very close and the atmosphere is really friendly. Bob Lee, an Expat from Texas, owns it and his staff is Ecuadorian and very efficient. Here you get a bit of Tex Mex and also wings and burgers. Soon he is bringing in chili dogs! They have the best onion rings around! Fish, shrimp and chips are also in the menu frequently. Bob tells great stories, and can answer any questions you may have about the area. He has lived in Manta for many years. Oh, and he has the best margaritas in the city. He also has an authentic recipe for them that makes them special! You get 3 for the price of 2 and they are $5 each. So 3 for $10. Frozen or on the rocks!

4. Asadero GUIMUR'S
A very nice place with good food and hospitality in the centre of Manta. The best 'chaulafanes'(fried rice with shrimps) and grilled fish. Come and enjoy with us!

En pleno Tarqui puedes comer uno de los mejores chaulafanes que he probado en Ecuador. Puedes comerlo ahà o para llevar. La atención es muy buena y es chévere conocer otros lugares de Manta que no están en las tÃpicas zonas. !Muy recomendado!
