Reviews
The entrance was confusing we thought the place was closed for each door that we tried was locked but we could see people eating. So there had to be a way in.
Perhaps the proprietor never enters the restaurant from the front door because there was graffiti painted on it and it didn’t look very welcoming.
The tables were in ill condition as many of the tops were scratched and the finish was peeling off.
Paper napkins and pitted cheap flatware. You might find in their country but it doesn’t pass for very good service here. Especially for the prices we paid.
What I could see in the dim lighting the floors were in good repair though dull and dirty looking.
The decor matched the theme with paintings or prints of village life.
As for the food it was very starchy and tasteless. plantains and yucca fried up crunchy but virtually the same as potatoes.
Even the sauces were dull and faintly flavored.
They brought popcorn to the table as a preamble to the appetizers.
I got a huge platter of chicken beef and pork sausage, then some sweet plantains. And then there were potato wedges, thick cut yucca patties, some cilantro sprinkled a cross the top
But it all tasted the same even with the sauces. Which is all right for the British or Swedish palate but not mine.
The atmosphere is lively with great music that keeps the energy up without being overwhelming. Parking is available but limited, so it’s best to arrive early if you’re driving.
If you’re looking for an authentic Ecuadorian experience with bold flavors and a fun, welcoming environment, this spot should be at the top of your list.
Do yourself a favor and try one of the Ecuadorian or Colombian sodas, I’m an Inca Kola fan now!
Not too familiar with Columbian food so this visit was quite the discovery. All the customers I sawthere were South American, so I know I’m in for some authentic stuff.
I never knew they had fried rice in the Americas, and boy was I in for a surprise. Has everything that makes fried rice good and makes it better!
Pretty damn good and really, really big portions. Almost to a fault!
Definite recommend, especially if you’ve never tried this cuisine. Ask the waiter/waitress what their favorites are, and let your mind open to new flavors!
