Customer Reviews
*updated based on owners response* We have been here 4 times before, we always either order steak or chicken with lentil rice and plantain.. the waitress got our side order wrong, they could have just fixed it and kept it professional. But she got angry and went to her coworker Christian. Christian was extremely rude and unprofessional. He could have just fixed the order, it’s not like we were asking for a change, it was their mistake, they brung us the wrong side order. Christian came in leaning on our table hovering over us and his tone was aggressive and mean. He tried to refuse to change our side order, all this for lentil rice and plantain. How absurd. The owners need to teach their staff especially Christian that he shouldn’t harass the customers. We were going to call the police for
So I’ve come to this place multiple times and never had an issue. The night I decide to come and try my fave dish from all Ecuadorian spots, once I saw it I already noticed it was different but as most people know me I try to avoid issues so I tried to eat it ..

The waitress came I told her there’s something off from it and she said ok do I want something else? And I asked will it be charged she said she’ll ask cause I told her at t
Visited here on a weekend for an early dinner late lunch the place was on the emptier side given the odd time it got full as we finished up. The staff was extremely friendly, answering all of our questions, and super accommodating. I came here with my Ecuadorian in-laws and they were blown away with the flavors and taste of the food especially the ceviche!! Would definitely come back more often if I lived closer.
The best meal I've had in a long while. Everything was prefect. Atmosphere, food, service were all exceptional. Alison was the best server and hostess. It felt as if she had invited us to her own family's home with her high praise to the owners and how much she loved sharing the experience with others. Let's dive in to what made this place special. The food was honored. Simple respect to the food! Everything was fresh and prepared to perfection. The ceviche was phenomenal. The goat and pescado were cooked to perfection and sent me to memories of my childhood. The plantain chips were thinly sliced and fried perfectly. If you like cocktails the passion fruit mojito is a beautiful drink with fesh mint leaves. I had my first Ecuadorian beer and it was delicious, served with sale rim and lime a
This place is absolutely exquisite, incredible food and impeccable service. Do whatever it takes to go!”
