I love it here- Food is excellent. But it was super busy and only (one) waiter is unexceptional. We waited so long to put in an order…. and there were so many dirty tables. And people waiting on checks etc.

My wife and I had lunch here today, and we both had a great experience! We ordered the empanadas, the blackberry & passionfruit juice, and two orders of Lomo Saltado. The service was very good, the music was great too. Overall great experience, will return!

I loved!! I felt like I was in my land!! Very delicious food, very good atmosphere, very friendly people. The boy who served us was very friendly, attentive!If you want delicious food, good service, and an Ecuadorian atmosphere; visit La Toquilla!!
This is my second time coming to this restaurant and it left me with my worst experience at a restaurant. As the service was horrible the waitress acknowledged us 3 time by telling us i will be right back to take your order it took her 25 min to come to our table 30 min for our drinks and 45 min for our food . Now keep in mind that our party was only 3 adults nothing to crazy but I will not be going back.

Definitely liked this cozy and friendly spot. The beef empanadas were quite good (the stewed meat was excellent). The ceviche was solid but “cooked” a little longer than I’d like. Generous portions justify the prices. Will be back.

I was craving good ecuadorian food and this is the place I was looking for. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was made to perfection. What brought me there was that someone told me they have "ceviche de concha" on the menu and wow, not only that they do have this on the menu but it was incredible, the taste was inmaculate. Me and my family were very satisified not only with the food but with the service. We had as appetizers some empanadas and tigrillo. For main course we had Parrillada, Churrasco Manaba and Ceviche de concha. We asked to meet the Chef and he was very kind and friendly. We are definitely coming back. Best ecuadorian food in Connecticut so far.

This is my favorite local Ecuadorian restaurant!I have been getting my happy tummy filled with great Ecuadorian food from this restaurant since they opened in 2022.Always a great ambiance, Ecuadorian gastronomic options, music, people and staff. Inside or outside and outside seating was great for the summer.The cooking style and flavor are fair representation of Manabi, Ecuador.My favorite dishes are "Encebollado" (Tuna fish soup), "Bandera" (Flag, a tapas style dish), oh, and "bolon de chicharron, or bolon mixto" (green plantain ball with pork rinds, or green plantain ball with pork rind and cheese). "Helados de Gualaceo" (Gualaceo's Ice cream) are a great dessert, my children love it.

Service was great. The woman in the front was super friendly and attentive. They say you eat with yours eyes first and this place didn't disappoint in the presentation, the food itself tasted great and the portions for the price is very reasonable. The place was cozy and clean. I would definitely recommend and go back.
