At Chimborazo our desire is to introduce our guests to the traditional cuisines of Ecuador and the Andean Highlands. We serve hearty dishes familiar to Ecuadorian family tables. Marcos Pinguil, the owner and chef of Chimborazo came to the Twin Cities from the Cañar Sierra via the tropical coast where, from a young age, he learned to prepare dishes from Ecuador’s varied regions. In local indigenous lore, Chimborazo volcano represents Taita (Father), while the neighboring volcano represents Tungurahua (Mama). Otavaleño textiles and traditional Quichua music bring the spirit of the Andean Highlands to your dining experience.

Tres leches was impressive.
Carina, took such good care of us! Would highly recommend!
I really appreciated how they’ve updated the traditional Ecuadorian menu to make it more accessible for people who have never tried Ecuadorian food before without losing the essence of our country. I was truly satisfied with the presentation, quality, and seasoning of the food.
The sauces? Absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the ají criollo – it wasn’t spicy at all, but it was incredibly flavorful.
The food was the highlight. The flavors were rich and authentic, with dishes that felt homemade and comforting. The ceviche was fresh and citrusy, and the empanadas were perfectly crispy on the outside with flavorful fillings inside. I also tried a traditional plate with rice, beans, plantains, and grilled meat, and everything was well-seasoned and cooked just right. The portions were generous, and you could tell care went into the preparation.
The staff was friendly and helpful, especially when explaining dishes I hadn’t tried before. Service was quick, and the restaurant felt clean and well cared for.
