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.
Il ne faut pas se décourager & marcher jusqu'au bout du couloir: Un excellent petit resto comptoir aux recettes originales & au décor agréable s'y cache!
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.
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.
Honestly one of my top lunch spots in Montreal-if not the top. I've been coming to La Hueca for the past year & have tried a variety of dishes from their menu, & every single one has been absolutely amazing. The flavours are bold, authentic, & incredibly satisfying.
I'm not usually the type to write reviews, but I felt compelled because they genuinely deserve the recognition. The owner is super friendly, & you can order either in person or through their easy-to-use automated screen. I love that there's a picture for every dish.
From the beef Empanada, Locro de Papa, shrimp ceviche soup, to their sandwiches & bowls-everything is bursting with flavour. Pure magic.
If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favour & GO.
The best Ecuadorian restaurant in Canada . We went there with my wife & my daughter & we love the quality of food food , the taste & experience brought me back to Ecuador. I remember trying fanesca typical food during April & it was best fanesca & empanadas I ever tried . I truly recommend for anyone !
Muy rico y muy buen servicio. Un poco escondido pero vale la pena ademas que tiene una linda vista al antiguo convento, actual biblioteca de concordia. Prueben el ceviche!
