Amazing food! I didn't really know what to expect as I haven't tried Ecuadorian food before but…read morewhat stood out the most to me was how flavorful the meat was. We tried entrees with chicken, steak and pork and I couldn't believe how good every kind of meat was. Whatever they marinate it in is soooo flavorful! The portion size was big and we all left really full. For the quality and portion size I think it was really reasonably priced! We went on a Saturday and it was busy, there was a line out the door. But the food was worth the wait! Most of the entrees came with a green sauce that was so good we asked for two more servings of it. Inside the restaurant it feels like you're actually in Ecuador with the colors and decorations. I'll definitely be back!

It's cozy in the main dining area when there's people, but we had attentive service. I love their sandwiches here. The clearly bilingual waitress even indulged (and gently corrected) my broken Spanish as I ordered one! They have their specials chalked up on the wall to easily see, and the kitchen is right below it. Everyone worked in sync, bussing tables and making sure folks were seated promptly. I've never had a bad meal here. Everything is so, so good. The only downside is that they ran out of the wine I ordered, so it's a testament to how wonderful their food and drink are.

This dish was truly a masterpiece and could easily feed a small village. It is the ultimate buffet on a plate, featuring pork belly, beans, rice, sausage, steak, avocado, plantain, egg, and an arepa.

It included rice, avocado, fries, eggs, and steak topped with a flavorful sauce. To wash it all down, we enjoyed a natural drink. Blackberry drink with milk.

DRINKS You can get margaritas, beer, and other drinks here, but our minds were set on aguas frescas. Their tamarindo and jamaica were AMAZING! Must try.

Noticed there was only 1 register (maybe a second and maybe I missed it). Place looked clean and while the place was 1/3 full it wasn't loud. I got the following items: -fried chicken, flavorful, not salty, not crispy, not greasy -yuca fries, crispy and well seasoned. Didn't care for the dipping sauce. -beans, good flavor and tender beans (not hard and undercooked) -rice okay... nothing spectacular. I'd return.

I split a chicken plate and the vegan bowl (plus a side of yuca) with my partner. I can't eat dairy, and it was easy finding items that fit my needs. The vegan bowl was to die for, I loved the mix of curry and pineapple (the best fruit, BTW), it all came together so well. The chicken plate as good too, especially the plantains, the rice and beans, and the sauce. The fried yuca was great too! Our server was great, super attentive. Prices are mid-range, it's not cheap, but the food is worth it. They have a small patio and a larger indoor dining room. All in all, a great spot in NE Minneapolis!

The rotisserie chicken, the fried yucca, the beans and rice. It is all so darn good. Consistently good across the board. Their fried yucca is world class, IMO. It gives us that little taste of home. While eating there is good, the service is fine, what jumps out to me is that the food stands up to the takeout test and is equally as good at home. I also like doing takeout because parking is really tight onsite.

You seat yourself so most people were snagging whatever spot they could get. You order at a QR code so there isn't actually a server. They had water you grab yourself but it was on the other side of the bar and not in an obvious location. So just be aware that it is there but you might need to look for it. The food came quick. My friend got the cool ranch wrap and chips and queso. I got the cool ranch wings. Their chips and queso is very good although I could do without the onions and jalapeño on top. The wings were alright. I wasn't really getting that cool ranch flavor and it tasted more just like your standard dry rub. I wasn't a fan of the ranch itself. My friend didn't care for her wrap as it was cold and she felt that the chicken was actually raw/undercooked. She also didn't get any cool ranch flavor come through: Not sure if I'd recommend this place or need to come back but I have had their quesadillas which were good and I did like their queso.

We had James as our waiter and he was awesome and very kind. The drink options were very unique and delish. I loved the menu, it had a mix of all different types of food and flavors. The portions were good, we had some leftovers. Elote: 9.2/10 full of seasoning and flavor. Absolutely doused with flavor. Brussel Sprouts: 10/10 perfect in every way. They were perfectly cooked and charred with lots of seasoning. Mac & cheese: 7/10 it was cooked perfect with a lil crunch but it lacked seasoning, maybe a lil more salt beef tips: 10.1/10 if possible. These were my favorite!!! Perfect sized pieces, super tender, juicy and cooker perfectly. The seasoning was perfect for the beef. Paired well with brussel sprouts miso glazed salmon: 10/10 okay i'll be honest...my cats name is miso so i felt weird ordering it but WOW. Absolutely immaculate. The miso glaze tasted fresh and homemade and perfect for this salmon. the salmon itself tasted very high quality and prepared to perfection. house rice: 8.5/10 well seasoned and well cooked, maybe a lil citrus flavor would make it stand out

When it first opened, a reservation was definitely needed, but we've popped in several times at off hours with no problems. Maybe get one if you like to go at traditional hours. The cocktails are well balanced, and the food is well thought out between, fat, salt, acid, and texture! The Elote, Brisket Entree, Chips & Guac and Kale Caesar are the standouts! They always provide AMPLE guac - you'll have more guac than chips, which is a good problem to have! It's very thick & flavorful, and yummy pops of sea salt come through on the chips! Elote, no notes. The brisket entree is like a hearty charcuterie where you can rotate through flavors and won't get sick of one heavy item. The Kale Salad was surprising, only note is to ask for an extra lime wedge! Residential street parking, friendly service, this is on the pricier side as most cocktail bars are!
