It's been a couple of days since going and I can't stop thinking about how good the food was. From the quality to the flavors and execution of every aspect of food on the plate being perfection has had me blown away. There wasn't a single thing missed in every dish that came out. I really can't get over it.
I'm a first generation American, mother and father from Ecuador and some of these plates and flavor really brought me back to my childhood. But aside from that, it was just so damn good!
The service was fantastic. Food came out fairly quick for being a packed house. And no mistakes which I admire. That means these folks are really putting in the work.
The calamari was perfection. The cook on them was flawless. My kids devoured the plate. And notably the amount of calamari served was so generous! I'll be back just for that.
El caldo de bolas were flavors I grew up with as a child. It hugged my soul!
The Churrasco Marinero was a flavor bomb! The steak and seafood were cooked to perfection, and I just could not get enough of it. Every aspect of this dish was nailed! Even the eggs which often get overdone were perfect.
The Calentado took me back to all those mornings after a family party going all night full of dancing and drinking. They hit all the flavors of the most perfectly cooked up dish from the prior night's carne, frijole y arroz. Everything just thrown into that pan with an egg on top. Nothing beats it!
Then, the higos con queso!! Are you kidding me!?! My Tia visiting from Ecuador with a big ol jar full of higos, picked from their finca and soaked for days and then cooked in the panela. I was instantly my 10-year-old self again in heaven.
Brownie con helado... I mean, what's not to love?? The brownie was so warm, gooey and delicious! Perfect ending.
I cannot wait to go back! This is 100 percent my new go to!

My Ecuadorian friend Dan recommended that I try Seco de Chivo, his favorite dish—and it did not disappoint. I’d definitely order it again next time. I also loved the Tres Leches dessert. It was different from what I’m used to, but I’m glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new.

Very good customer service, excellent food, I would definitely return with great enthusiasm. Don't hesitate to visit them
My husband is a native Ecuadorian and we are always on the hunt for authentic tasting Ecuadorian food. Very few places have caught our attention but this is definitely one of them.
The food tasted very authentic (mother in law and my pregnant self approved ) and the portions were perfect .
Ecuadorian restaurants that I have visited usually have poor service and is what I usually expect from them but this place really exceeded restaurant service. Very attentive servers and well mannered .
I hope I can expect consistency in the food and service as I plan future visits here.

I went to pick up my 2 sopas marineras . We started eating the soups the seafood was bad and it tasted sour. I called to let them know, and ask them for the 70 dollars I spent . They said they would only give me half of the money back bc they didn’t have any other complaints about anyone else food. Like good for them but sucks for me. Never coming back here

Very good quality food and generous portions. Great dinner here!
I start with the positive: everyone in my party (seven) liked the taste of their food and their "rice dishes" are large. Now for the not-so-good; although our waitress was very nice, she/they screwed up almost every dish. Two members of our party had to wait over ten minutes after the rest of us were served-and still problems. My dish, salmon came with a clump of dry-white rice-no salsa or anything with it. My plantanos were dryer than my napkin. And, I had one glass of (house) wine and it was $19.00!! My meal alone was $24.00. In many restaurants I could have gotten an entire bottle of wine for $19.00 But wait, there's more; EVERY SINGLE PARTY HAD A BIRTHDAY "CELEBRATION." In addition to singing, they serve a piece of cake with a flaming/smoking "Candle" and after a while the smoke was irritating many of our throats. And, forget having a conversation; the singer/music that night was so LOUD that we asked, three times, for them to lower it/her. They did however the singer raised the volume each time...she has no sense of how to "read a room." If anything, order food to go-Don't even think about eating in.

SUPER GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE, EXCELLENT 10/10 BUT THE FOOD WAS A FLAVORLESS CEVICHE WITH BADLY CLEANED SEAFOOD AND A SOUR FISH. THE CORVINA IN A TERRIBLE SEAFOOD SAUCE WITH A BAD SMELL WITHOUT SIMPLE FLAVOR, ENJOY THE CANGUIL WITH CHILI MUCH MORE.

I ordered 2 orders, a Picada Paisa for the value of $42:64 and another order of Parrillada de la Casa for the value of $67:60. Pay all that so they give you a small meal with nothing to do with what it looks like on the menu, that's an abuse oh I uploaded the photos with the receipt and the orders that Ise so you can see the price I paid for such little food oh places that give you better food for less money the first and last time I go to that place
