Mainly take out but you can eat in. The BBQ is excellent. They leave the knuckles in the goat (not a fan). Nice people $16 for take outVegetarian options: I have no idea what this food is made of. It's good, but I would ask

I was super excited to go to an Ecuadorian restaurant, it reminded me of home, the food smell delicious and taste good, the place was clean and nice, but I feel they brought one of the worse customs from Ecuador idk if it was because my husband is an American, but when they served us our food the portions were a ripoff, half scoop of beans same with the rice and I can barely talk about the protein, when my husband saw it (I look at him and feel embarrassed, because this is my people) so I ask for a portion extra of protein that of course we were charge extra.So , I’m not making this review to make them look bad but to make them realice that Ecuador Can do better, serve a full portion to all people and make them fell happy that they came and paid the money that they paid. Americans love Spanish food and they will go but if you don’t give them the right amount they won come back.

I come here often on my dinner break from work and I was soooo happy they survived Covid! Their food is so good, it's authentic, it's always fresh and always tasty! Their juices are delicious and I try a new one every time I go (although I do have a favorite ) this tiny little place packs a huge punch of authentic flavor which is very difficult to find up here for some reason so it's definitely worth the visit!!

“Rensselaer’s hidden gem.” MZMi Ecuador should be top on your list for economical, ethnic, and tasteful sensational experiences.A wonderful experience full of food made with love. Tender meats, perfectly cooked rice and beans, and also heaping loads of the aforementioned fill your plate. The lunch special is $12, so it is definitely bang for the buck.Stopped in around lunch time but the place was not packed with people, though it was filled with enchanting aromas, Ecuadorian trinkets, and fun music.Anytime I’m in the area and hungry, I know where I’m going.

Embarrassed that I have lived around the corner for years and haven't eaten here more. Great little spot for a quick lunch or dinner.

I was in the area for training and this restaurant is literally within walking distance of the complex where I had my training.My coworker and I stopped in there today and they have two new fans for life.I had salmon yellow rice with black beans and a passion fruit drink.I will be back in Albany the week of July 10th for training and this place will be a staple of my diet that week lol
