Sabor Cuencano

Cute spot for getting some Ecuadorian food. Very friendly and very good hot sauce. Hot sauce is a 5 star. Great so see they dint give unto the mn bland pallet .

Overall (2.65 stars composite score):Food and service are pretty spotty and it's not a great value play.Food/Drink (50% 1.5 star total):Motepillo wasn't impressive.  It was large hominy and eggs and was kind of medocre. Llapingachos are fried potato pancakes and they were definitely tasty. Asada steak was super thin and there wasn't enough of it.Service (60% of 1.5 star total):Polite, but not super attentive. Server wasn't really available and I felt pretty neglected. Value (70% of 1 star total):Good portions, but not cheap for a hole in the wall.    I would have preferred they not bundle the drink with the meal.  Going a la carte would decrease the plate pricing. Atmosphere (30% of 1 star total): Standard cafe setup.  Nothing of noteBathrooms are clean.  However the toilet and sink were BOTH backed up .

I imagine I'll frequent this new little gem very often. Sabor Cuencano used to be located in south MPLS but opened in Northeast I think just last week. Their family-owned, small, colorful and festive space is welcomed to the neighborhood!Right now the menu is limited to some Ecuadorian staples and it's only in Spanish... which was excitingly authentic, even though I don't speak Spanish. We ordered the Fritada and Hornado. The Fritada was like small fried pork ribs that came with mote, a small salad, and cancha (kinda like corn nuts). I saw a lot of other people ordering this and I see why! Those crispy, savory ribs were delicious. The hornado (roast pork and crispy pork skin) came with mote, a small salad, sausage, and llapingachos. The that tender roasted pork with crispy skin was an incredible combo! Make sure to get plenty of their delicious hot sauce with whatever you order! There was a lot of bland mote with each dish, but we were told that we can order rice instead, or half and half. Nice!I can't wait to go back and try their other menu items, like ceviche and empanadas. Stay tuned for a review update!

I recently moved to the area and popped in to try out some tacos. AMAZING! I got some shrimp tacos and a glass bottled Coke to go. Price was fair. Would highly recommend!

Great greasy burger joint! Very friendly staff, we got in and out quickly. I would recommend you check it out. Can't wait to go back and try some tacos!

a lot of wait, pity attention, the food is fine but with very low portions for what it costs
