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.

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!

Authentic Ecuadorian Cuisine - A Hidden Gem!

I had the pleasure of trying Ecuadorian food recently, & it completely blew me away! The flavors are rich, comforting, & full of personality. From the locro de papa, to the hearty fritata-cooked in spices, every dish felt like a warm hug from Ecuador.

The empanadas were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, & paired perfectly sauce. & don't even get me started on the tres leche cake - that was amazing.

What really stood out was the balance of ingredients - simple, but packed with flavor. You can taste the love & tradition in every bite. Whether you're already a fan of Latin cuisine or trying something new, Ecuadorian food is a must-experience. I'm definitely going back for more!

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.

As an Ecuadorian I know how hard is to get the ingredients to recreate all the most flavorful dishes of my country.
But I can say that this place makes me have nostalgia of my people & the amazing food from Ecuador.
Sadly I never have time to take pictures because I devour everything too fast!
I love the encebollado, bolon , empanadas & the juice that are 100% fresh & natural!!!
I hope that other dishes are included in menu soon!! Guatita, seco, hopefully crabs 😜
Shout out to the owner, super friendly & attentive, & super hard worker!

Great service by the owner. I am ecuadorian & this is probably the best encebollado I have ever tried. Even outside Ecuador. My son had the ceviche. The food is as close or even better than back home. Highly recommended.
