"Ecuadorians are an interesting type of people. My parents are from Quito and I lived there but most Ecuadorians are picky about their own food. So, many criticize the food because it doesn't taste like home or Grandma's or the vecina... That being said, this place definitely has its own home style flavor and charm. We ordered the mote with habas and it came with some cheese on top. We topped that with homemade aji and that was fire. Empanadas were ok, the dough was not that good but it's ok. Then our meals came, the fritada was good but I wished the pork was crispier and slightly less salty but definitely flavourful. The watita was excellent with a good amount of tripe and potato's. I love more peanut flavor on mine but it's still good. The llapingachos was an enormous plate and packed with food. Delicious and so filling. We also tried the fried trucha, although it was overcooked and too dry the floors were there and on point. We also had batidos (fruit milk juice) of passion fruit and tomate de arbol. The juice was amazing. We ended the meal with higos cheese and the caramel sauce was the star. Overall a great experience, not too overpriced, a bit too salty but definitely Ecuadorian. Also the Andino cumbia on 24/7 had my non dancing feet tapping."
