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.

This was my first time trying Ecuadorian food & WOW! I'm carribean & grew up in a multicultural neighborhood in MTL with Dominicans, Salvadorians etc. The food was extremely good. The Chef & co-owner David explained me how to build my meal, was very welcoming & greeted me warmly when I had just arrived. I ordered Asada Carne bowl It was a pretty big bowl, nicely served, servi e was very fast & very pleasant. The music playing felt like home. Before leaving I did tell David that I would be back since I now work nearby.

Bravo to David & his wife & co-owner Margaux!

Ça fait du bien d'avoir l'impression d'être en Équateur alors qu'on est en plein hiver à Montréal.
Le service de la propriétaire est très agréable.
Les repas sont copieux & excellents.
Je me suis régalé avec mon porc effiloché.
& ma femme s'est régalée avec sa soupe au thon.
Honnêtement, c'est un excellent rapport qualité prix.

C'est un peu loin pour le trouver, mais l'effort en vaut vraiment l'expérience culinaire.
C'est une très belle surprise.
On reviendra, c'est certain.

God bless La Hueca

Ecuadorean here 💛💙❤?
Thank you to the chef for bringing the flavours of home to Montreal. I love how the taste of Ecuador was delivered in a fusion style. There are little touches the Chef puts such as the sugar in the empanada that remind you of home 🏠 Overall a great food experience for a reasonable price. Hats off to the restaurant for offering Encebollado which is very rare to come by.I will be back to try the rest of the menu, mil gracias 😊

Pros:
- Very good food
- Very friendly staff( thanks for the recommendation, loved it)
- Insanely affordable price
Can you believe this is a 11$ meal in Downtown Montreal in 2025? Even with a drink & a 20% tip it still comes down to barely 18$ AFTER taxe for me. This is an absolute steal.
- did I mention the food is good?

Cons:
- Location
It's pretty hidden. In the mall's 2nd floor food quater pass 3 other store front that are all closed, at the very end of a hallway. Wish they have a better location to bring in even more customer.

Will be back for sure.

Amazing restaurant, new in town & will be a great addition. Delicious, reasonably priced mid scale food made quickly & with care. You can customize in any way you like & they have tons of options. I got their pulled pork & LOVED it. I will definitely be coming back. On top of all that, friendly people running the place :)
