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.

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!

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!

The menu was a little intimidating at first, but the server put us at ease & explained everything to us, & even let us taste some of the ingredients before ordering. After tryinf Ecuadorian food for the first time, we can confidently say that we will be coming back. Changing 1-2 toppings/sauces gave the plate an entirely different flavor, & they were both amazing in their own ways. We can tell that they were super passionate about what they do, from their food to their service. We came here after seeing the 5 star reviews, & now we know why.

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.

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!!!

The food was delicious!! We were a group of five & everyone was very satisfied. Also, they can make some delicious fruit smoothies which I'm not sure are listed in the menu.

Absolutely delicious. I have never appreciated "cold soups" before I tasted their Jijipijapa Ceviche. Delicious!!! A very cute "hole in the wall vibe"

Comme nous avons pu le lire dans un des avis laissé pour ce petit restaurant, il s'agit vraiment d'une « pépite ». Nous avons eu un petit peu de mal à trouver mais nous étions motivés & nous avons été récompensés (en fait il faut suivre les indications au sol). C'est copieux, c'est merveilleusement bien assaisonné, on voyage tout de suite en Amérique latine avec cette cuisine équatorienne. Une adresse donc absolument incontournable à Montréal.
