Next best thing to eating Ecuadorian food in Ecuador. Great fast friendly service and large portions at a great value! Will be returning again and again!
This food is always a plus, the lomo the ceviche everything on the menu is top notch...this particular picture is ceviche camarones Ecuadorian style and Peruvian style on the other plate...avocado salad was good and fried plaintans are great
Tremendous place...the food is delicious and fresh, the portions are gigantic, and the prices are very fair. The service was also good 👍 my son took me there for father's day and i love it!!!! Sincerely...Carlos, I like to add after reading some negative reviews , I can't believe that someone gave this restaurant a negative review over hot sauce..that's unbelievable!!!! The sense of entitlement of some people is outrageous, an Ecuadorian restaurant is not going to give you "Chinese hot SAUCE.." LOL 🤣.. UNREAL...
Great authentic food.. large portions. One of the best little secrets in the State when it comes to Latin food.
My family has been coming here since I was a little girl, still a family staple 20+ years later. Love this place! The owner is so sweet & makes you feel at home.
The best food in town. The service is great. I have been eating here at this gem for 15 years. I love it!
The restaurant serve very good food,the atmosphere is very nice ,the price is cheaper and the service its amazing.
Despite the many complaints regarding wait time on some of these reviews, we had no issues on a Sunday. The restaurant has parking which is a huge plus. We needed a table for two and were called within 5 minutes. We did not wait for our food very long, food was delicious and fresh. Our server was very attentive. Will definitely be back to try other dishes! Thank you
We were a group of 7. We went for lunch and only had 1 hour or less. They took our order really fast and the food came out quick also. The food was amazingggggggggg. I ordered the “arroz chaufa” with shrimp, beef, chicken, ham and egg. I think at least 3 people can eat from it because they serve so much. They have my favorite freshly squeezed orange juice and other variety. The food from my friends was also excellent and delicious. Pictures tell the story.
Been coming here for many years and it’s one of my favorite. I drive 25min for this place
