We went to try out this new restaurant with our Ecuadorian friend, & we were not disappointed whatsoever. The food is delicious & portions are generous. We ordered the appetizer trio & particularly loved the corviche. I got the tuna steak with moro for main dish & it was very tasty! I can't wait to go back

We live in the US but our family is Ecuadorian. So we jumped at the opportunity to have some of our favorites that we haven't been able to have in a while.
The corviches & the muchines we're out of this world! So good, I think we're planning a trip out here again just so we can eat them again.
The natural juices were incredibly good, I almost cried.
We ordered the cazuela, the colonche, & two tonga, one with pork the other with duck. We loved EVERYTHING. I would order the jelly on the side for the duck tonga. I feel like it had a little too much on it. I would have preferred more of the peanut sauce.

La verdad es que este restaurante con todas nuestras expectativas: comida, atención y ambiente. Comenzamos con el'Trío Kawsay' (corviche, muchín de yuca y empanada de verde), los cuales están ricos y súper fresco. De plato fuerte pedimos Caldo de bolas y Cazuela de mariscos; la sazón es increíble y realmente auténtica. Acompanamos todo con jugos naturales de tomate de árbol y naranjilla que estaban en su punto. La atención fue de diez, siempre despejando dudas y explicándonos cada plato con detalle. Además, el ambiente es muy acogedor, todo impecable y con la música al volumen justo para disfrutar ya sea en familia o con amigos. Recomendadísimo!!

The food was absolutely delicious. I particularly enjoyed the entrées. The corviche was delicious. For the mains, I enjoyed the caldo de bolas.
Service was excellent. The menu definitely reflects Ecuadorian food & flavors. In addition, it has a lot of diversity for different moods & diets. The pricing of the food is fair considering its good quality.
I will definitely be coming again.
