Try it for the first time, as always Encebollado and let me say this; had lots of bad experiences trying this dish, since everyone makes it different. This one was good on point. !! Fresh Yuca, fresh rice and fish. Overall a good experience, will order again. Una experiencia muy buena!!

Amazing food!! I just had the shrimp ceviche and it was fenomenal. The perfect balance between lime (sour) and cilantro. If I could afford, I would come back all the time!!! The staff was also very friendly

I came here with my family and we all had different plates and can i say that this is by far the BEST ECUADORIAN restaurant I have EVER been at. Being Ecuadorian its hard to find a good place. My brother had an encebollado and I had fish plate and its was AMAZING. Will totally recommend this place!
