Absolutely loved this place! The food was so delicious with truly authentic Ecuadorian flavors. I had the Trifasio, and the encebollado was to die for. The service was great and very attentive, and the drinks were excellent. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the restaurant itself is beautiful and inviting. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing Ecuadorian food.
