It was ok in general. We tried the bowls, the fish was tasty but over-browend fried, the pork was very good, the encurtido a little basic, loved the pineapple! The yuca was really good but the potatoes not as expected. Sweet mayo was very good, not sure about the Ají de la casa, & the chimichurri was ok. Guanabana juice was very good! Nice people, good service.

We had no idea what an Ecuadorean meal would be like. It was an absolute banger. We had their tofu bowls & the flavors were just amazing.

Fresh & authentic! I enjoyed it so much. I took the build your bowl & it was packed with flavour that I like. Price is good, less than 17$ for a bowl. The staff is also very friendly. My first time there & will be back to try other dishes.

This was my first time having Ecuadorian food, & it was amazing! I had the chicken bowl & absolutely loved how you could choose your own ingredients. The selection of different ingredients was incredible, & the server was super friendly & kindly answered questions I had. The portion size was generous, & the price was reasonable. If I didn't live 5 hours away, I'd be back in a flash!

If you're tired of Asian takeout, fried chicken, shawarma, sushi, mac&cheese, poke, ramen, burgers & beef noodles, then you owe it to yourself to check out La Hueca.

It's a South American (Ecuadorian) restaurant tucked away in a quiet food court downtown, in the same building as Marche Newon.

The food is uniquely flavored, delicious & really satisfying. Very comforting, especially on those cold, cold days.

I had the grilled chicken bowl - when I finished my meal, I was licking the bowl & already thinking of trying the other items on the menu. 2 carbs & 3 types of veg are included with the bowl so you know you're getting solid nutrition & real value for money.

I highly recommend a visit & do consider getting an extra order for the fam. You won't regret it.

June 2025: no change to my review, still an excellent choice for a great meal downtown.

The cheese empanada was great but the pulled pork bowl was extremely watery. It was like a soup.

The place is a bit hard to find, it's in a food court inside the market. The food is great, the place is clean & a service that we got was very friendly & welcoming. I've got a shrimp bowl & my friend a beef one. Don't forget to add their homemade cheese toping. The portions are generous & the food is fresh.
