Leticia's is an Ecuadorian restyling Queens. Went on a Friday morning right at opening after missing a flight and it felt like I was on vacation there. Esthetically beautiful in the inside and well decorated Liz they highlight their achievements and accolades on some of the walls and it is well deserved. Staff was incredibly friendly and offered recommendations which was much needed because their menu is extensive with various sections. Since it was our first time having Ecuadorian food, the guidance was much appreciated. Food came out in a timely fashion and everything tasted delicious. Started out with calamari and tostones. Both were incredible and a great way to start off our Ecuadorian experience. We also had pork tacos which were packed with meat that was tender. We tried the Chaulafan, a stir fry of rice, shrimp, beef, veggies, eggs, plantain and additional ingredients- all of which came to gather to add savoriness and sweetness. Lastly we had the Churrasco which was steak with rice, eggs and avocado - seasoned soo well. We enjoyed everything we had and told everyone we know about Leticia's! read more

I've been enjoyed this food before but this time there was HAIR in all my pieces of tripe Also the chicken tasted like it wasn't washed The shrimp still had poop The only good thing was the encebollado Not worth the price Disgusting uncleaned food Drinks are delicious and staff is very nice!!!! 2 stars instead of one for this Also their food has great presentation what a shame! read more

I only tried the regular (versus the mixtos) Encebollado from here, but unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy it nor did I think that the price was justified, especially in the area as Corona is known for cheap great eats. The broth itself was good but it definitely needed more lime. I get that the Encebollado is traditionally done with tuna but the meaty texture of it was off-putting in soup. On top of this, I didn't get any banana chips with the soup which I think would've made a difference. The reason why I'm giving 3 stars versus 2 stars is that the staff seemed really nice & I loved the decor of the place. I might be back to try the drinks but not sure. read more

Amazing food! Definitely the best chaulafan I've had in a very long time and that's coming from an Ecuadorian. The food is authentic and something to rave about! I'm bringing the rest of my family. Even more importantly they were incredibly kind to my puppy Chopper who I brought here with the intention of ordering to go. They offered us a table and brought out water for him as well. (They don't officially allow pets) read more

Ate here today for dinner after work. I definitely ordered and ate the hornado cuencano (slow roasted pork, crispy potato patties, rice, hominy, pickled onions, avocado and mixed greens) as a dish followed by fried banana for dessert that it had tasted really good and delicious. The service there was also attentive and super friendly and understanding when I spoke some Spanish of what I wanted to order. I couldn't agree more about it. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :) read more

Some of the best and most authentic Ecuadorian food I've ever had! The flavors at Leticia in Queens are like fireworks in your mouth--bold, vibrant, and true to Ecuadorian tradition. We tried a mango margarita and a mojito (mocktails) to start, then shared the ceviche de chicharrón and the La Jama dish. Both were amazing! The pickled onions and corn nuts, staples in Ecuadorian cuisine, gave everything that extra authentic touch. The ambiance was warm and lively with great music, and the service was perfecto--attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic Ecuadorian food in NYC. read more

Big portions, nice space, friendly service. They speak minimal English but we were able to communicate with google translate. I really enjoy their soups and their steak with shrimp plate. This is a great spot for a lunch before or after the hall of science museum! read more

I was so excited to spend my birthday at Leticia's. The food and service were fine, and the atmosphere seemed lively enough, but the night ended in total heartbreak. My husband had specifically arranged for a sweet birthday surprise--a simple dessert and a song--and the hostess completely forgot. Watching the night end in absolute silence without even a mention of my birthday was devastating. It completely ruined what should have been a special moment. read more

The food is good but cold like literally just gave us the food and when I tried it, it was cold, another thing is that I ordered passion fruit with milk and instead I got mango with milk drink, and the service was not good the girl not even knew what to say. But all was normal just with the order and food read more

Great service and tasty fresh Ecuadorian food at a great price. I really also enjoyed their fun cocktails and ordered a few different ones while there. I will definitely be returning with family as they have large tables to accommodate them and I just know they'll enjoy the culture and ambiance that Leticia's provides. They also have bar seating for those that don't care to sit at a table or want to have a meal. Despite Leticia's being family friendly, it was perfect for date nite. read more

From my initial visits, fast forward to now & it seems like they have put in some serious effort to update their menu, drinks & the whole restaurant in general. We stopped by on a random Sunday drinks I had the Carnaval de Muerte , drink looks cool in the skull cup the drink itself was pretty good decent taste & strong. La Cholita was good & strong drink as well & a Margarita flight passion fruit, mango, blackberry & lime this was great nice & strong.. Taste wise in that order , fun presentation. We got an order of the Chicken wings come w fries, good size wings they were quite tasty, good fries. Next time HH specials we tried the Mojito not bad, decent on the alcohol. Tostones & Chorizo were very good, great tasting chorizo & tostones. The Tacos de churrasco were good, nice taste to the meat not bad, tacos also had fries? We think they got mixed w another taco but it was fine the meat could be a bit better since there were quite a few hard pieces. Next time around, we came for dinner , HH specials we had Mojito & Margaritas not bad. Skipped appetizers this time I had the Pechugas en salsa de limón , this was very good nice tasting chicken , good w the rice, avocado & maduros. Hubby had the Hornado cuencano also very good pulled pork, w rice, salad , mote & mixed greens we also had a side of Tostones they are so good! Service has always been good, prices have changed like many places , HH specials help w the drinks if not the fun cocktails range between $12-15. If u live in the area u can probably walk here it is also easily accessible by the 7 train. Cute little place, simple but decent decor good music playing. I do like the upgrades it's made the restaurant nicer to visit we enjoy the food & drinks worth the try. read more

The food that represents Ecuador is not like that. I tried a hornado cuencano, unfortunately the hornado was tasteless when reheated in a microwave. The llapingacho was cold when reheated the same. I think their mote ( white corn ) is old with their toasted and salad the onion that is not pickled. Unfortunately, the place is very nice, but if the hornado is not good, I imagine the rest of the menu is of low quality. maybe the cocktails are good but i did try read more

Service is extremely slow and food comes out even slower. Very inattentive. They don't give anything to snack on. Waitresses don't speak English. Bathroom is dated. Food was ok. Nothing special read more

I came here for restaurant week and liked it! I got 4 courses for $50 which is a good deal. I love the decor, reminds me of the motherland. The waitress was attentive and changed our utensils after each course. My favorite was the Llapingachos and ceviche. The lomo saltado was not the traditional Peruvian dish, more reminiscent of beef stew. I think the onions could have been cut more finely. Sad that the quimbolitos ran out early in the day, I will return for them! Honestly I liked everything. Keep in mind that the food is Ecuadorian with a Mexican twist. read more

The service here is very nice, the girls are super nice and we were sat right away. The food took a little bit but it was quite good, I tried a typical Ecuadorian plate that I don't remember the name but it's basically mashed potatoes with chorizo and some type of yellow sauce- it was really good. Their bandera is similar to a Colombian bandeja paisa and the chicken was a breaded chicken cutlet. This was a new experience for us as we never had Ecuadorian food before but we were quite impressed. We came before Christmas and the restaurant had cute decor and nice music playing in the background. I definitely recommend it and will be back to try other dishes! read more

Its family Birthday dinner day and we decided to make reservations at Leticia's. I was very happy that we chose Leticia's for my stepfather and my mom's birthday dinner, but they made my mom cry. Give me a minute and I'll tell you about that. First let me tell you about the service; the ladies serving were exceptional, they were friendly and very attentive to our advising of food allergies. They were quick but not in a "hurry up and get out" kind of way. And most importantly, they conversed with us and made us feel welcomed. The drinks: we ordered micheladas, margaritas, old fashions and they were all good drinks. But one drink stood out, the aniñado...this mix of passion fruit, vodka, simple syrup and agave was excellent. You need to try this drink. The appetizers: Tostones n guacamole, so good. Tostones y chorizo, awesome. Seems like we love tostones right, well we do and Leticias, well now they definitely know how to fry some great tostones here. My only "not so good" appetizer dish was the ceviche de chicharron, the pork pcs were too small (like really really small) and not crispy. The dinner: sopa marinera, arroz marinero, tres chanchitos, trucha frita (this was eaten to bare bone) and a shrimp ceviche, All excellent dishes with great flavors and really good visual appeal served in its unique bowls, plates n platters. Nothing was left on plates and what was in abundance was packed to go. While waiting for all of these delicious dishes (but we didn't wait long) we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Cando, owner of Leticia's. A charming and amiable individual who also conversed with us for a bit and welcomed us to his restaurant. The ambiance: it's a mix of your local Ecuadorian dinner place with a touch of cheer. Over all we had an excellent dinner experience here at Leticia's and would recommend and return. Oh I forgot to tell you how these people made my mom cry. Like I had said we came to celebrate hers and my stepfather's birthdays. Well, the servers and Mr. Cando brought out a dish of delicious freshly made churros with a large sparkle candle and sang Happy Birthday to her and my stepfather. She cried, she was touched. Thank You Leticia's for that lovely gesture. read more

I truly wanted to like this place. It gets 3 starts for food presentation and nice place. The food was average, the quaker was bad, it tasted like anis. The hot sauce was some green sauce. We asked for ají, after all they offer "traditional Ecuadorian" food. The hornado ... tasteless and was not fresh.. you are better off going to the food trucks. The onions en el hornado, terrible... oh the mote was good ... we asked for an extra potato patty and the answer was no. It's only offered with a full dish .... read more

I had the best lunch ever at this Ecuadorian restaurant. The service was five star the food was six star. I had the beautiful fatty pork tacos and I will be back soon!! There is so much to try here. read more

The restaurant is ok, thought it is supposed to be authentic Ecuadorian food. The soup was flavorless, the bolon had no flavor and was dey and hard, el lomo saltado was not Ecuadorian style, the fish lacked seasoning, the carne asada again no aliño was added(seasoning). Between food and drinks we paid almos $200 I was very disappointed because I was looking forward in finding great authentic food. I am not writing this review out of no wrong reasons but it is my honest opinion. The Instagram posts look great but the actual food was not. read more

I ordered the Camarones al ajillo and the sauce was not the usual garlic sauce you would have. It had a creamy base so it immediately threw me off. The taste wasn't good. The Chaulafan burrito was good. Definitely a must try. The drinks were bad. I ordered a passion fruit margarita and it tasted like alcohol with Tampico. read more

This place caught my attention because of their happy hour sign However it was past the happy hour time but I went in anyway. The inside decor is unlike any other in Corona, so pretty! They have a tree inside with neon letters and a very attractive bar area. I ordered a margarita. As beautiful as it looked I was disappointed because it seemed like it had alot more ice than liquor. I ordered the ceviche de chicharron as an appetizer and it was Perfect! It was Chicharron surrounded by avocado. Then I ordered the Sopa marinera (seafood soup) comes w/rice on the side and a lomo saltado w/rice. The lomo saltado was in a different sauce that I've never had when I order lomo so I was concerned but once I took a bite.....flavor flavor flavooor! Im going back for the happy hr but the drinks need to be stronger. read more

This place is never open, so don't bother ordering if you see it listed as a place to order from.

Messed my order up and charged me for the extra food and said they couldn't do anything about it since I paid for it already on my debit card. Very unprofessional left me with a 44 dollar lunch that I did not want at all read more

Horrible service they gotten my order wrong 3 times and then proceeded to say that the cooks don't listen to what's on the ticket , how are you running a business when your employees don't cook the right food and they charge more than most restaurants for the food read more

Customer service was amazing, very kind and patient, i ordered the burrito which was amazing it came with chicken shrimp and steak and plantain chips soooo good! I also ordered chicken with rice the chicken was really good with the sauce.
