Panaderia Ecuatoriana "Charito" — Restaurant in Minneapolis

This is a fun and nice place to visit. They have lots of Ecuadorian baked goods, as well as a small menu to eat. There is limited seating, but it's nice if you want to grab some authentic Ecuadorian food or treats.

Parking can be hit or miss, as it's all street parking along Central Ave. But, there are lots of other fun shops and restaurants nearby, so it's perfect if you can't find parking in front.

The staff has always been very nice and accommodating every time we've visited the store. They also have other non-food items for sale, such as hats, shirts, and dolls, to name a few.

It's definitely worth stopping by and tasting what they...

I feel so lucky to have find this gem of a bakery so close to home! After visiting Ecuador earlier this year I found myself craving the incredible baked goods and food and I'm such a strike of luck they opened just a mile away!!!

I bought several of the filled croissants, the conchas, a pineapple marmalade filled horn, some cookies and an elephant ear to share with the family! Everything was so fresh and delicious!

They also have a selection of packaged foods, beverages, and treatsyou normally only see in South America.

The service was attentive, informative, and so gracious. I'll be back to try...

The staff were crazy helpful and both the bolon and the guaguas de pan (the bread babies with filling) were so so good. I was in Quito, Ecuador for 4 months and honestly their guaguas were tastier than as good or even better than any I can remember eating there! I devoured everything quite soon after so there's no photos. But check them out!!! Great prices, better...
