Definitely a pleasant surprise! I walked in cause I was starving and had some time to kill before a hair appointment. Best 30 mins spent. When I walked in, it smelled amazing — like a grandmothers kitchen blessed by the lord himself. Sat down quickly although the place was pretty packed with all native ecuadorian patrons, so I was definitely expecting that this place would be good. I ordered the garlic shrimp plate — it came with salad, totosnes, rice and shrimp, of course. They also gave me a hot sauce on the side, it was so good! But so damn hot! I still ate it cause it really kicked up the flavors that were already on my plate. Service was excellent! The waitress was attentive and made sure that I was happy with my meal. The food came out quickly and that was great cause I was so damn hungry! The place itself is small and décor is beautifully ethnic. There are ecuadorian portraits and paintings, very much feels like a kitchen and a hole in the wall restaurant. A hidden gem for sure. There was also a small TV that was showing a Spanish novela! That was neat! The experience was wonderful, the sounds, smell, taste and appeal! Surprisingly wonderful!
