My husband and I, plus our two kids, celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary there. We celebrated yesterday. We go there to eat a lot. I felt like I should write about my experience and leave a review. We showed up an hour and 30 minutes before it closed. The waiter seated us near the inside of the restaurant instead of placing us in the back, like they normally do. Service was excellent last night—he kept our drinks full. The food was amazing. It was so joyful to experience Ecuadorian food since I’m half‑Ecuadorian (my dad’s side). I’m glad my kids got to taste a bit of Ecuador. We moved here last year from Idaho, and I’m excited to have found this place—actually discovered it on my birthday last year.

Editor synopsis · 0 reviews
Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I came here with my stepmom and everything we ordered was amazing! Both of our meals were delicious, and we tried three different desserts —all of them were incredible. The service was great too super friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend this place, can’t wait to come back!
