Resaca

Guayaquil


This festive two-story spot on the malecón serves filling Ecuadorian classics like ceviche and shrimp soup, plus salads and mixed meat and rice dishes. It also has a lovely rooftop deck, a fine spot to enjoy a house-made margarita, piña colada, frozen daiquiri or Long Island iced tea.
