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
Un resto sans égal.
La présentation des plats & la nourriture elle-même sont exquises.
Les coctels sont parfaits & l'ambiance est parfaite pour une soirée entre amis.

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.
C'est un nouveau restaurant avec une cuisine équatorienne authentique. Le personnel était très gentil & attentionné, & l'ambiance du lieu était également super agréable. Je recommande totalement ! Le ceviche était de loin le meilleur plat.
The food is amazing, especially for seafood lovers. The plate presentation is beautiful. The personnel are very polite & nice. La sopa de bolas de verde is super delicious.
Support local businesses!
Une belle découverte, la nourriture est très bonne & c'est original. Les présentations sont soignés & les quantités sont généreuses. le service est top ! 👌
Maravillosa experiencia, sabores increíbles y muy muy amables. Alta cocina ecuatoriana!
Une expérience formidable, des saveurs incroyables & un service extrêmement chaleureux. De la haute cuisine équatorienne!
J'ai découvert ce restaurant sur les réseaux sociaux & j'ai proposé à mes amis d'y aller. J'avoue que j'avais un peu de pression : peur d'être déçu… & de les décevoir aussi.
Finalement, très belle surprise ! La bouffe était vraiment excellente, les cocktails pleins de saveur & l'ambiance super agréable. On est restés quand même tard, c'est dire.
Une très belle découverte, j'y retournerai avec plaisir.
