This is my local fave for authentic Ecuadorian food with Manaba flavor, the coast. I usually order the caldo de bola, plantain soup with peanut butter sauce in short ribs broth. It’s the closest to my mom’s. And the ceviche mixto shown here was spectacular like it’s served at the beach. It’s not fancy but perfect for good food.
The humitas are good, very similar to how they are made in my hometown in Ecuador. Ceviche is also delicious.
Expensive, poor service, and tasteless (didn't meet my expectations). It might improve but now it's disappointing for me.
Delicious food
One of the best Ecuadorian restaurants out ecuador. This restaurant is a wild perl, no decorations and simple tables.
Amazing service and outstanding food. HIGHLY recommend.
I have not seen a better quantity an quality food to price ratio in Bergen and Hudson County. Pre- Pandemic this was in the top 5 of my ???????? families favorite ❤♥???? to eat once a week for their good ?????? lunch specials. The weekend ala carte menu was my favorite in particularly the shrimp "Ceviche" ? and the best dish in my opinion "Llapingacho" . The owner Ingrid is a smart and passionate entrepreneur.The server Jenny is the backbone of the operation side of the business line , she is friendly and very helpful . Hopefully when the post Pandemic time is here will be able to enjoy the cozy and comfortable feeling of indoor seated dinning again, kind of forgot what it feels like.
Amazing service and outstanding food. HIGHLY recommend.
Being Ecuadorian, I unfortunately am not a fan of most Ecuadorian food. Not to mention being allergic to shellfish. But the food is luckily always 100% well made, very close to home.The service is great because they are friendly and very fast/efficient, very 5 stars. It's only unfortunate that the business becomes 4stars when its crowded, with several people waiting for food and other orders making it seem like they are sloppy and understaffed.
My very first time going and I was pleasantly surprised! Very clean and the food was delicious. The drinks are watered down here so do not order liquor, just get food! OH! And if you register for their rewards program (free) you get a free Pizookie!!! YUM!
