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.

It's been a while since I did a food review but this place was so phenomenal I had to jump on immediately. There is a reason this place has 5 stars with 200+ reviews. The service is friendly & warm, the prices for the food is literally unbeatable for Montreal, & the FOOOD! Absolutely unreal food. Packed plates with a make you own bowl option. The food was the type of stuff that makes you dance with happiness. I cannot get over the quality of the food at such a good price. An absolute must try in Montreal. 100/10.

Taste is amazing. Changed the menu from a traditional dish style to just your typical over the counter fast food joint. Portion is smaller & price is up.

One of the only if not the only ecuadorian spot in the city that is worth it. Great soup (encebollado).

Une adresse sur laquelle on ne tombe pas par hasard. Entre la difficulté pour se garer (car le parking est sous terrain est payant dès la 1er minute) & le labyrinthe d'escalier & de couloir pour arriver, on pourrait se décourager. MAIS cette adresse vaut le coup. Une certaine richesse dans les choix de composition de son bowl avec des saveurs qui sortent de l'ordinaire. Un vrai plaisir à prix très raisonnable.
