We stopped off the NJ turnpike after using the Yelp app. The beef stew is amazing, tender and delicious! The portion size is gigantic. There's only counters with stools. read more

Well, our first attempt to try out this business met with failure since when we walked in the door, we were told that they ran out of food. It's a tiny hole in the wall, which has just a few tables inside, but they were packed, which is a good sign. We'll come back and try again. read more

Small little space. Cute mom & pop shop. Not big enough for a whole family to come eat. Better for take-out. Good portions. Food is authentic Ecuadorian food. They even have Ecuadorian snacks, candies & holiday drinks (non-alcoholic). Service was good. read more

In an effort to support local businesses, we ordered take-out from Antojitos Ecuatorianos. It's a small place with very friendly owners. The food is comfort style, freshly made served with large portions of rice. After reading the reviews, my expectations were high. However, our entrees fell short. They were lacking in flavor and spices. We ordered the Pollo Guisado (chicken stew) and Filete de Pescado (Fish fillet). The chicken was cooked well and coming right off the bone. The fish was deep fried, but a bit salty. Fried plantains and tostones accompanied the meals, but I've had much better. We were left underwhelmed with our dinner. read more

Delicious. Small little family owned store on the corner with a counter but mostly take out orders it seems. I went with the beef stew to go. Super generous portion sizes with rice, beans, and plantains over rice. The stew and beans were good, but I added a little salt and bam! A whole new world opened up Jasmin. I would definitely get it again. Taste was on point. Beef a little tough which is why I gave 4 stars, but flavor was there and good chunks of beef read more

Customer service was horrible! Once we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by customers who were dining in. A woman who came to the counter looked at us, rolled her eyes, turned around, and went to the back of the kitchen fussing. The customers looked at us in sadness while a male approached the counter. He asked us if we wanted to order? I said yes. He pointed to the menu, and I stated, "I know what I want to order. " I placed my order because of the great reviews, and my brother recommended this restaurant. Once I was handed my food, I told him about her horrible customer service. His excuse was that she was just in this country a couple of weeks, which is bull! Two months ago I tried to order and she refused to take my order. It amazes me how people can come to a country, don't speak the language, and still be rude as hell to the natives because of a person's skin color...but you need my money to live in this country. When I go to their country, I am greeted by people who are darker than me, and they are natives of that island. I was so disappointed in the customer service, the racist words she stated in her "native" language...ain't no way I speak Spanish!!..Surprisingly I do!!! Let's rate the food! I ordered stew chicken. The chicken had the skin on...boiled and was seasoned. I would give it a 5 out of 10. The plantains were not fried, 2 out of 10. The beans had cilantro, 1 out of 10. I paid around $16 for the plate, and it wasn't worth it. It looked nothing like the pictures. They gave me boiled/baked chicken and not stew chicken. I'm not sure if they were trying to be funny, but they definitely won't get another dollar from me! You never know who is entering your restaurant. Treat everyone with the same respect!!!!! read more

Got food to go yesterday. Every time I am in the area I try to come here. I always get their Chaulafan and Arroz Marinero. The portion is good as well as the amount of seafood and meat. My whole family LOVES these two dishes especially! Yesterday we got the pollo guisado as well and it was delicious. All of the food has a home-cooked type if taste, NOT overly salted like a lot of places these days, but definitely salted enough and really flavorful. The people who work there are friendly. Sometimes the food takes a LOT longer to come out than they say... maybe x2.5 whafever they say sometimes, at least when I order those rice dishes. Please be patient, and maybe allow for that extra time when planning your meal, as the food is DELICIOUS and well worth the wait for the freshly-cooked food! NOTE that they may charge you a couple bucks for takeout containers, and also if you use credit card there is a credit card fee. Be aware of it coming in, in case they forget to tell you. This place is the best!!!!! read more

The place might be tiny, but their food will blow your taste buds away! Highly recommend the Chaulafan it was amazing! The fried fish was also amazing! I'm sure the rest of the menu is equally as good! read more

This place is back open! They had a fire a year back but they are now open and the inside looks a lot cleaner. This is usually my spot when my family is in the mood for some authentic take out food. I'd say most of the dishes are ok/pretty good. But the dish that really brings this place some light is the ROASTED PORK. The juice just oozes out of the pork with every bite, and they throw in some pork skin with it, which tastes like candy it's so good. As well as rice beans and delicious plantains. Today I unfortunately didn't get the roasted pork as I try to taste some of the other dishes every now and then. Today I got the shrimp and fried rice, and it was ok. There really wasn't anything crazy unique or special with the other dishes I tried. But whenever I take someone here I tell them to get the roasted pork and they always say it's the best around mercer county. If they can some how put the same care into their other dishes like the roasted pork, this place would really stick out more. Overall though it's a pretty good take out food place...I am just obsessed with their pulled pork which is what drives the rating, I'm so glad they're back on their feet! EDIT: got the roasted pork, still the best in the county in my opinion! read more

Roast Pork is on point!! I think they only do it on the weekends though, so keep your eye out. I must know the name of the bright orange hot sauce that is served on the side. There is definitely something special about it! read more

Hole in the wall joint offering huge portions of Ecuadorian food. It has a couple seats to eat along the edge and a TV that you can tell is always on a soccer game or network. I got the chicken fried rice (order #12). You can tell it's pretty authentic as it's basically cooked to order. They serve it in a take out box and it's completely filled to the top. Holding the box felt like it was at least 3 pounds of food. It's very good for the price too as each dish is roughly $12. Only small issue is you can't find their menu online! I had to use a Yelpers photo to identify what I wanted! All in all it's one of the best bang for your buck eateries in the area. I will be be coming back in the future to try the steak. read more

Antojitos Ecuatorianos - Chicken Fried Rice...portion size is insane - Latin American Near Me - Hightstown, New Jersey

Very good Ecuadorian food. a literal hole-in-the-wall with a few barstools for seating. The Chaulafan, an ecuadorian-chinese shrimp and chicken fried rice with plantains, is great. Serving size is huge, I think it could feed two people unless you just ran a marathon this morning.. They have quimbulitos, humitas, morocho, timbulos, pan con nata. Close to the pleAsant Memorial Park on Peddie Lake so you can eat your food there if the weather is nice. I have visited Ecuador, this seemed quite authentic. Highstown has a large Ecuadorian immigrant population. They have some Ecuadorian sodas. Cash only! read more

Fantastic Ecuadorian food. Freshly made, authentic, large portions and very tasty. Great selection of typical Ecuadorian food. More a takeout place than eat in. Small bar stools and tiny counter offer uncomfortable eating space. But inspite of small size this place is worth returning. Friendly service and fair prices. read more

We split the beef stew entree and two tamales. The entree came with rice and beans and three plantain pieces. The beef was incredibly tender, clearly had been stewed all day in the delicious sauce. Very generous portions - one entree was plenty for the two of us. We brought it to the Old Hights Brewery to enjoy with their beer. Sooooooooooo good!!! read more

Very tasty Ecuadorian food. They have some of the staple dishes from Ecuador. The spicy sauce it's delicious, the morocho and empanadas de viento are good too. read more

This comida is muy bueno. Mucho arroz y cooked with mucho amor. Totally do the fish ! They have 15 main dishes and they're all a-ok. The rice is super fluffy and seasoned well. The beans are on point. The meat is super tender. If I could explain how much I amo este comida, pigs would fly. Definitely go here. Get the FISH AND BEANS AND RICE. ALSO THE FRIES ARE GOOD. They also have soup and sandwiches and dessert. This place also has ethnic drinks and it's legit. I'm dating an Ecuadorian person and she thinks it's pretty authentic. The workers are all from Ecuador and everyone inside is from Ecuador and everyone loves the food here. If you are into ethnic food or if you're not into ethnic food everyone can appreciate rice and beans and fish and meat and soup and dessert and LOVEEEEEEE. It's universal YAY. COME COME COME! read more

Super small place, but the food is Delicious. Believe me when I say that the food is good since I'm Ecuadorian myself and I tend to be pretty picky with food from my own country. The first time I went I got costillas with rice and beans and I absolutely loved it. The portions are pretty good. Also I absolutely love the pescado Frito. So try it! Before going, try to go to an ATM since it's a cash only restaurant. read more

Not happy with the food at all I order ceviche de camarón and it cost $10 it only had 10 pieces of shrimp very sad it lacked flavor, salt, pepper, cilantro, lemon it was tasty at all not worth it. My husband order their breaded chicken with rice the chicken was super greasy! It also lacked of taste & seasoning which are typically known to Ecuadorian dish. The only thing I enjoyed was this yellow mustard looking like pastry that was actually spicy. The price was too expensive in my opinion. Location is cute but random place. read more

Delicious ! We had the chicken fried rice, beef stew , roast pork , empanadas and humitas. So good and satisfying. The portions are large and tastes so fresh. Can't wait until next time. Now I found a place I like and it burns down. Ugh. read more

I've been coming here for great food for years. Guatita, costillas (pork ribs) and pollo guisado (chicken stew) are my faves. They make a mean tamale too. They make marvelous fruit drinks (batidos). I go for the food, not for atmosphere so the loud tv and communal sitting arrangement doesn't bother me. This is one of Hightstown's best eating establishments. Hightstown is blessed. read more

Awesome deal, authentic food, good and honest hard working people. forgot what dish I got at this place, but it was a fried rice kind of platter with tips of pork, shrimp, and chicken. Beautiful, simple, and insane portions. read more

super generous portions with LOTS of flavor. i've ordered from here before and the food is just as good each time

While Ecuadorian food has nuances that does make it different than Puerto Rican food, when we are craving Mom's pollo con arroz, we come here and get the pollo guisado. It is clear this is home cooking. Looking forward to exploring the rest of the menu, too. They do now accept plastic in addition to cash. read more

We had visited Ecuador in 2012 and had not had a chance to sample authentic Ecuadorian cuisine since. We read the reviews and just decided to take a chance. We were thrilled that we did. This is a tiny restaurant really more suited for takeout than dine in. There are no individual tables and you will have to be content to sit on one of the 8 or so unpadded wooden barstools at a counter. But if you like authentic food from Ecuador, you'll be glad you chose to have a meal here. There were three of us, and we each ordered something different. I ordered the ceviche which I have been craving for about five years... My companions ordered the pork ribs and the beef steak respectively. The portions are huge and you will not leave feeling hungry. Everything we ordered was obviously prepared from the freshest of ingredients, and DELICIOUS! We can't wait to go back again! read more

The food was amazing! Simple location with not many places to sit but the food is fantastic. Very authentic and home made flavor! You can't go wrong. The only problem for me was that it was cash only. I had to run to the bank to get cash. read more

My family loves this restaurant. We always get food for our Sunday brunches- and it's always amazing. My family loves the chaulafan and the hornado. We always enjoy the food no matter what because it never upsets! It's amazing every single time and fills us up with the large portions. read more
