Review Summary

Across reviews, La Hueca is described as a charming, affordable hidden gem delivering bold, authentic Ecuadorian flavors in a generous, customizable bowl format. Diners praise the friendly, attentive service and warm atmosphere, with standout dishes like encebollado, bolon, ceviche, empanadas, locro de papa, and the tres leches cake that evoke home cooking. The place is noted for good value and portions, and many say the bowls are packed with flavor and ingredients you can mix to taste. A few criticisms appear, such as inconsistency with encebollado compared to the Guayaquil style, chifles not crispy, and a pulled pork bowl that can be watery, but these do not derail the overall positive impression. The location inside a mall food court is described as a bit hard to find, yet the discovery is part of the charm for many visitors who say they would return weekly or recommend it to others.

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!

There isn't many Ecuadorian restaurants here in Montreal so when i found this restaurant I had to go try it & I wasn't disappointed the service was really good, they have a friendly staff & great atmosphere. The food is delicious!!! I had a pulled pork sandwich that was packed with flavour it was amazing. They also have some vegetarian options! Truly a hidden gem must try & I will definitely be coming back!

By far one of the best food establishments in Montréal. I tried this place for the first time 3 weeks ago & I've been back every week since. Not only is the food tasty & flavourful but it's also fairly priced. Definitely a hidden gem!

Great little place at the back of the Faubourg mall. Delicious food, fair prices & generous portions. Maybe took a few extra minutes than other food court options but well worth it! A hidden gem! The pulled pork «burger » was outstanding! Definitely recommended & can't wait to return!!!
