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.

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.

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.

First time I try Ecuadorian food & La Hueca was great! Had the Ecuadorian marinated tofu bowl with a side of Yuca Great flavours & they give many options to customize the bowl. Their chimichuri & different mayo sauces compliment everything really well. Nice owners that took the time to explain to me what each item on the menu was & delivered the plate to my table Overall highly recommended for great flavours & really good price!

Excellent! Nous avons été au brunch du dimanche avec le menu spécial Bollon & Cevice. Ça nous a semblé très authentique. Le jus frais était très savoureux aussi & le service chaleureux. Je recommande sans hésiter si vous voulez découvrir la cuisine de ce pays.

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!!!
