Manglar Alto in Babahoyo is generally well-received for its seafood, with many diners specifically highlighting the crab as exquisite and praising the quality of the sauces. The restaurant is recognized for offering a nice atmosphere and inexpensive dishes, making it a popular choice for a value-driven meal. However, service consistency appears to be a significant issue; while some reviewers experienced excellent service, others reported long wait times exceeding an hour and instances of missing orders. The seafood rice received mixed feedback, with at least one guest finding it unsatisfactory. Despite these service hurdles, the majority of visitors appreciate the fresh coastal flavors and the pleasant environment. Overall, it is a recommended spot for crab lovers who aren't in a rush.
