I have definitely learned to appreciate Ecuadorian food more because of this place. Have gone here a few times with my family and we’ve enjoyed everything. Eating here gives my wife a taste of home and that adds to how good this place is.
Only thing I’d critique is the staff be a little more attentive, we waited a while for the food and to get the check.

My husband was craving Ecuadorian food, and since his mom lives all the way in Queens, NY — and I haven’t quite mastered those dishes yet — we decided to take a trip down to Norwalk after seeing the mouthwatering photos from El Idolo. The menu, especially the “specials,” had some nostalgic favorites that caught my husband’s eye.
I was especially excited for the Bolón de Verde, my favorite Ecuadorian breakfast that’s very similar to a Dominican mofongo. We ordered it as an appetizer, and wow — not only was the portion size much larger than expected, but it was just as incredible as the ones I’ve had in Ecuador. My husband couldn’t stop talking about the humitas — one of his favorite childhood breakfast dishes — so, of course, we had to order those too. I have to admit… I might actually like them more than tamales!
Our main entrees did not disappoint. The portions were huge for the price, so we had plenty to take home. Somehow, we still saved room for dessert — figs and cheese, a surprisingly amazing combo that ended the meal perfectly.
To top it all off, our host was incredibly attentive and kind. She even saved us from getting a parking ticket when we completely missed the meter at the end of the awkwardly placed street. And the Ecuadorian music playing in the background? It made us feel like we were right at home with my husband’s family — complete with the classic tunes about heartbreak and betrayal!
We’ll definitely be back!

I’m glad I found this gem.! The food tasted just like home rip dad. The guatita was one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. The caldo de bolas everything was great from the service to the food and cleanliness of the location.! I will definitely be back.!!!

But reading the reviews of many customers. I hope that my friends didn’t get cheated paying the bill !! I didn’t see the bill because they refused for us to paided. When we go back I will be checking the bill and the charge of tips.

Going to be 100% honest, food was delicious definitely what a mom and pop should taste like. HUGE PORTIONS and very flavorful and many options. Only reason why I wouldn’t come back is they charge you 18% tip with out telling you. NOT COOL

The food from our most recent visit was such a disappointment. The shrimp from the garlic shrimp dish was so overcooked that it was not edible. What happened to the chef? It used to be good. The seafood food was also the same. Everything was overcooked and rubbery. So sad.

The food was good but the service is really awful, if you go to this place make sure to check the bill cuz they illegally change the price and add gratuity saying is a “service fee of 18%”
