This place is a hidden gem. Fantastic food. They make a great Vegan off menu plate. My only criticism is that they don’t market their food well from the menu. The food is beautifully plated and generous.
It was the first time for everyone in our group eating Ecuadorian food, and it did not disappoint. The food was absolutely fantastic, everything was fresh, flavor was distinct and phenomenal, and everything had great presentation. The staff were fantastic. Our waitress was wonderful and patiently broke down the dishes on the menu for us. Someone in the kitchen even noticed that I was showing a video on my phone, and brought out a phone stand so that I didn't hold my phone up. Definitely not something I've ever had happen anywhere else. Very thoughtful of them. I definitely recommend this place. I will be returning soon again.
As the name of the restaurant says, it’s just like eating in Ecuador. The food was great. I look forward to going back and trying more old favorites and new dishes I haven’t tried yet. We had the encebollado and arroz with menestra and carne asada. So worth it.
Restaurant owned by an Ecuadorian family! I got the special (Tonga) and it was SO GOOD. My Ecuadorian friend was so excited to eat there and it did not disappoint The juice was also amazing. I got the passion fruit juice. Note that water is 1, so if you’re a water drinker you may want to bring your own.
Wow!!! We are so thrilled to have found this amazing restaurant! We will be back often! The food is delicious and very authentic to Ecuador where my son lived for 2 years! The onion soup was incredible, as well as everything else we ate! The service was wonderful!! The chef is a real chef from Ecuador and about the most fun, genuine, incredible woman you could meet! You can tell she loves her culture and loves to cook and serve everyone as if they were long lost family members! By the time we left it was like we’d known each other for years!
Guys, this place has some of the best Latino food I’ve ever had! The place has decorations EVERYWHERE and is tucked away. Think hole in the wall but 10x better. 10/10 recommend!
Literally the best sausage I have ever had! The food is amazing! Great atmosphere and the perfect date night place to enjoy good food and talk!
Extremely delicious authentic Ecuadorian food! We enjoyed every bite and plan to go back often. This is a must try if you like tasting foods from other cultures and countries.
