Visiting Montreal for the first time & was curious to find Ecuadorian food as an Ecuadorian- American & I found this place with great reviews & menu sounded great. I was disappointed 😞 first, the service was really bad - it took like 20 minutes to meet our server & order. Presentation of the food 5/5. The ceviche mahi mahi tasted really bland. Not a hint of Ecuadorian influence to it. The seco de pollo was the best, portion was smaller than I expected. We asked for a side of white rice - they said they have no white rice. White rice is a staple in Ecuadorian food, made no sense to us. Yikes. My mother, Ecuador born, did not believe the cooks were from Ecuador. I will say I really liked all the Ecuadorian items, paintings, etc.

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.

Not much to say, you just gotta try it. Surprised it's not packed on a Friday summer night either.

Waited months to finally eat here & it was so worth it. Make sure to ask for the carrot-based hot sauce!
