Absolutely delicious, healthy, hearty and filling food. I've only been here twice this month and the menu is extensive and the prices extremely moderate for the quantity and quality you receive.
Last week I tried their lunch special which was a beef stew over rice 🍚 and a salad 🥗 next to it on the same gigantic plate. All the lunch specials are accompanied by a large bowl 🥣 if homemade soup. The broth was very rich chicken 🐔 broth with small round pieces of corn 🌽 meal floating inside. The chicken itself is quite generous in portion and you might find a little bone so be careful and eat slowly 🐌
The server is extremely friendly and offers some good suggestions. He brings you a basket filled with fried plantain chips and two dips.
Today I chose the garbanzo 🥗 🍅 🥗 salade and an order of 2 cheese 🧀 empanadas with an inca cola.
The salad is a perfect size for lunch. My server initially warned me it's not too tiny and not too grande but honestly of you want my opinion it's a very healthy option and quite filling because it comes with freshly sliced avocados 🥑 some onions 🌰 chickpeas and tomatoes 🍅 and is big enough as a main lunch course.
The atmosphere here is so welcoming, cozy and peaceful. The seating is comfortable like your in someone's private home kitchen. I definitely recommend this Ecuadorian Ristorante both for the quality of ingredients and the extremely clean and cozy...
Read moreI took my family for a treat of Ecuadorian food and instead if my normal Guatita, I ordered an encebollado. Bad decision as the dish was beyond bad. The dish only had Yuca and barely any tuna aside from being extremely salty. I politely told the owner/gentleman working that I couldn't eat it and gave him the plate. Instead of an apology, he simply walked away from me with an angry face and never offered an exchange for something else during the 45 minutes I was there with my family. The worse moment was when I asked for the check and once again kindly asked if he was charging me for the encebollado that I only try it. He then threw the menu, his note of the order with the receipt which only had prices and no descriptions of what I was paying for. Never have I ever experienced someone being so rude and angry for asking to verify. As a customer in a polite and calm voice I then asked for a box for some of the leftovers from my family and once again he threw it across the table. At this point I didn't want to be there and didn't even verify what I was paying for. Service was simply horrible and will never go back. We had 3 kiddos with us and didn't appreciate how the owner/ employee handled the situation. NEGATIVE...
Read moreI walked in here by chance and I'm SO glad! The food here is outstanding! You would never think twice about this place from its exterior, but the second your food arrives you will be blown away. You know people always say about food from any particular country, you know it's good when it's full of people from that country. From what i saw, its the Ecuadorian restaurant that Ecuadorians eat at. It's not SUPER cheap but it's not expensive either They have sushi but I didn't try it. I'd stick with the Ecuadorian food, it's crazy good. I got churrasco, they bring plantain chips with a delicious dipping sauce/salsa. For an appetizer I got potato cheese patties, GET them, they are out of this world. They have jarritos, I got the mandarina flavor, but they have a lot of options. No alcohol, not sure if it's BYOB but don't let that stop you. It's a hole in the wall that you never...
