Description:
This enormously popular restaurant opened in 2004 and immediately garnered a loyal following -- mostly of locals. Simplicity is the theme here; the food, not the atmosphere, is the attraction. The focus is on hearty and traditional recipes from the highlands, including seco de chivo (goat stew), llapingachos (potato-cheese patties), and guatita (beef, potato, and peanut stew). All varieties of grilled pork are also available, as well as roasted chicken served with elote (corn on the cob) and mashed potatoes. This is not a good place for a vegetarian because even the mashed potatoes are cooked with pork fat (which is the traditional Ecuadorean way to cook them). But if you want a taste of what locals consider a fantastic meal, then this is one of your best bets. Finish off your meal with a silky coconut flan or a fresh-fruit salad.

I was suggested to go to this restaurant from the personnel of my hotel. Very tasty Ecuadorean food, so very typical, not very expensive.

Good Ecuadoran food

A good place to sample Ecuadoran food in the Mariscal. It's popular with locals and tourists, and has seating on multiple levels.
