★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Nataly P · Sep 2025

Don’t order the encebollado de pescado it has a very fishy taste and it is heavy. Probably the worst encebollado I had in Queens.

Omg!!! I freaking love this restaurant! My mothers side is from Guayaquil & I always loved her & my grandmothers food until I came here. Their service is great! So far their dishes are almost better than my grandmothers cooking and that’s a lot coming from someone who only use to eat homemade Ecuadorian food. I can’t wait to try all of their dishes! I came on a Sat. night for the first time and it was so good I came back on a Monday night lol!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Renato Escandell · Dec 2023

The purpose of this review is not to hate or harm this restaurant in any way, shape, or form. That being said, I hope you take this review as an informative review. Atmosphere: The restaurant's exterior and interior are well organized. Clean for the most part. However, the music they have there makes it feel like you're not in a restaurant but in a nightclub. Service: Honestly, service was okay. I went there because my cousin invited me. I did not feel like the waitress went beyond to make us feel at home. In other words, it was an average service. Food: I ordered the Guatita, and my cousin ordered the Encebollado De Pescado. They tasted okay, neither bad nor good. I felt like something was missing, probably a little more flavor. Price: It could just be my personal point of view. Consi

Good food. Be aware people from different trucks will come up to you to get you to order from their truck. Can be a tiny bit hostile but they’re good people just trying to make a living.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Cindy Peralta · Jan 2026

I would give it 0 stars. I had the chaulafan & it was bad, gave me a stomach ache for 2 days, had it from their food truck. The people there will follow you from your car to get their food, I get that they’re trying to make a living but I don’t like people in my face, made me feel harassed… just for me to end up with a stomach ache
