As fellow Ecuadorians & Mexicans from NYC, we admittedly had high expectations for this restaurant. Our waiter was kind & attentive, & the atmosphere was calm & inviting.

We ordered the empanda verde, sopa de bola, & encebollado. We were not fans of the cheese empanadas, feeling it lacked salt & overall seasoning, but the shrimp empanada was flavorful & overall good. However, both types of empanadas were too greasy for our liking.

The Sopa de Bola was good. The broth was tasteful & the ball of meat tender. The encebollados, though, were disappointing. While the presentation looked authentic, the food itself did not meet standards. It did not taste like encebollado - it had an off-putting ramen taste; but if you like that, then you might be a fan.

As a whole, the restaurant has potential. Drinks were solid, but the food needs work.

First time I had Ecuadorian food in my life & I was not disappointed. The food taste homemade & fresh. A overall small but cozy restaurant, our waiter was kind & welcoming. He asks us if we needed recommendations which is always appreciated. The menus are colorful & plenty of choices to drink. My only feedback would be to put pictures next to the food because as someone who never had Ecuadorian food, it was a bit hard to gage what to take just based on the description of the meal. ( we eat with the eyes too ;) ). Wishing much success to the team & owner of that little gem 🥰

10/10, delicious food & drinks! I recommend the 5-hour cooked pork on rice with plantains, the Mote con Chicharron, the Seco de Pollo & the Guacamayo cocktail 🔥🔥

Also get a dessert, because the co-owner is à pastry chef, she knows what she's doing 💯

My boyfriend took me here for our 6-month anniversary & it was delicious. I'm so glad we came. Our server was kind & the cocktails were superb. Order the chicken pollo & the drink with Campari & almond liqueur 😊

The service with Kassiel was fantastic. He was very passionate about the food & the restaurant.

We heard there is a happy hour 2 for 1 BOGO from 5 to 7PM everyday. We will be back!
