Ecuador Restaurant

Great service , . Food was excellent ,i got the Bandera plate it was a lot of food in the plate with great taste. They had a great ambiance thru all the time I was in there.

The place was packed to the gills!! We did not have to wait too long. They were out of the sweet maduros so I had the stuffed potato which was good. I order the Llapingaucho which was very very good. Would come back just to have that dish again. Overall a nice experience.

I search on Yelp turned up Restaurant Ecuador and its (uncommon to me) Quaker beverage $2.50 (home made oatmeal with passion fruit), but I was unable to convince my two travel companions to agree to have our final lunch here. It didn't help that I was hyped to try their seafood, and one of the gals was not a seafood enthusiast.So after brunch, I stopped by here for a Quaker to go. During our wait, I noticed that there were a number of men enjoying their meal. The drink was milky sweet, but passion fruit isn't my preference, and so I wasn't crazy about it.

My friend and I came in 5 minutes before closing and they didn't kick us out. So already I was hopeful. The menu was easy to read with the names in Spanish and then description in English. They had so many yummy options.It was really good food! Also be aware that the portion sizes are big. You get a lot for what pay and you can get one entree and split it. Service was good too even though they were getting ready to close. The waitress still filled our water and checked in with us. It's worth a trip!

So glad we got to go to this restaurant. Been to Ecuador a couple of times and I've always enjoyed their food. We ordered the cheese empanadas, Caldo de pata, ecuadorian bistec and the llapachingos. I think this is how you spell it. Will definitely come back and highly recommended.

Just moved nearby and saw this place so had to try it. Very friendly staff, customers who seemed like happy regulars, awesome smells from varied and new (to me) dishes; instantly a fan. We had seafood rice entree, sweet plantains, cheese and corn tamales, and breaded chicken with fries. All was delicious. Also tried the passion fruit oatmeal drink which as a nice change up and new flavor. Prices were very reasonable and had plenty of leftovers. Will definitely be back for more!

First time having Ecuadorian food! Everything was so good. The waitress was really nice and the food is unbelievable. The portions were huge and the food was tasty. Ask for aji! Start off: I could go back for Ayaca chicken tamale. It had a sweet taste and came with tender chicken and egg. The cheese corn tamale was a familiar taste but super tasty as well. Entrees: Get the seafood rice.. I think two very hungry people can share this dish and be very satisfied with the amount of seafood you get. You might even have leftovers.

Definitely come through for solid Ecuadorian food. Don't expect gourmet, fancy plating. Straight-out-your-mom's-kitchen kinda vibe for sure. My husband and I got morocho, choclo con queso, the arroz con lentejas y carne, and arroz con camaron. Again, pretty solid. I would say there are better Ecuadorian restaurants in the area but this one wasn't bad at all. If this is your first time getting Ecuadorian, my recommendation would be a seafood dish or a soup. Those are classics. Encebollado de pescado (kind of like a fish stew) and caldo de bola (savory soup with meat and plantains) are very common and reveal a lot about Ecuadorian ingredients. But overall you can't go wrong with any of it!

I have nothing but great things to say about this place. It was a chilly night and my friend who was feeling sick was craving some seafood soup. We turned to Yelp and found this hidden gem a short walks from our place. The establishment itself is pretty discrete in my opinion, you could easily walk past and not notice if you weren't really paying attention. Upon entering, it was a nice cozy atmosphere with a bar area. We were starving when we sat down so we quickly browsed through the menu and decided. We ordered their fried plantains, Caldo de Mariscos and a llmapingacho. Upon ordering, we were advised that the soup would take longer to make and bring out. It was nice that she told us otherwise we would've been wondering what was taking it so long. I would estimate that the soup itself took at least 20 minutes to be prepared. You really can't go wrong with friend plantains, they were brought out first as our appetizer and we're light and crunchy. What really made them tasty was the salsa they provide, it was a chunky and somewhat. It tasted really well with the plantains. The Llampingacho, my dish, then came out and I dug right in. This dish is basically composed of two potato pancakes, topped with steak, two fried eggs and then doused with a sweet and savory peanut butter sauce on a bed of shredded lettuce. I enjoyed it very much, but for those who do not enjoy peanut butter, I suggest against giving it a try. The Caldo de Mariscos then came out and boy was that worth waiting for. First and foremost, the bowl itself was huge and it was packed full of different seafood. The broth itself was so amazing. It was very clear by the strong taste of seafood that the soup was cooked for a very long time. While we were eating, the table in front of us was brought a seafood rice dish... the plate of rice was huge.. and when I say huge.. I mean one family of 4 could probably share the whole thing. It looked so good that I made a note to return and order that next time. I returned not too long after and ordered it and was very impressed. Big mounds of seafood rich rice, kind of like paella. I had leftovers for days. All in all excellent meal. Do give this place a try if you're craving some Ecuadorian food or just some seafoody goodness. Be prepared to eat though cause the portions are HUGE or have leftovers for the next day.

This was far one of the best Ecuadorian foods I had. I went last night with my husband and a friend, and we were very satisfy. For appetizers we order, the patacones and one humita. They were all good, but the patacones needed a bit salt. The humita was super delicious and full of cheese which I loved. For entrees we had the fritada, churrasco y el japingacho with Ecuadorian sodas. We finished it all, the rice was super delicious and fluffy and the portions are huge. You must have the quacker juice it's just too delicious to pass by, we had two orders one to drink there and one to go to drink later. The place is very small it's a hiding gem, it's very clean and the decorations are on point. The play list is very nice i was jamming while I was eating. We order a lot of food and the total was $60 for about 7 orders of food. If you want authentic Ecuadorian food you must come to this place. You won't be disappointed, this was also my friend's first time trying Ecuadorian food, and she loved it a lot.
