Unfortunately, this restaurant is under renovation, today, March 10, 2025, I came I hope they open it soon

Delicious, authentic Ecuadorian food. The staff was super kind and encouraged me to practice my Spanish while there. Try the Aji hot sauce! Its delicious and spicy!

This place is such a delicious cute little find. The stew chicken was so tender it fell off the bone as soon as the fork touched it. They give a great portion size. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for something different for lunch. Also, if you go around 2303, you can beat the lunch rush.
