This was my first time trying ceviche and the ceviche de camarón set the tone right away, bright, refreshing, and balanced, with clean flavors that didn’t need to shout to be memorable. 🍤 We also ordered bolón de chicharrón,, churrasco cooked just right, and salchipapa that felt nostalgic and indulgent. But the chaulafán was my favorite. A Spanish-style fried rice with everything in it meats, vegetables, seasoning, the kind of dish where every bite is different but still comes together perfectly. Who doesn’t love a fried rice that doesn’t hold back?

In my radar for a bit. My caldo de bola was epic, hadn’t had it in so long and it was great. A friend tried the Bandera; shrimp ceviche was a bit tiny but seco and guatita were good portions. Guatita is always a challenging dish for flavor and tbh did not love it 100%, it was ok. Complimented with lulo and tree tomato shakes… which were delicious

Notes- Most dishes are a bit more, so see the photos, but not by much. I have been to this Ecuadorian restaurant twice at this point, though last time was long enough ago that even with my usual vast food memory, I barely remember what we ordered outside of it all tasting good. The most recent time was a few days ago, and it was excellent. The staff is nice, and the portions are generous for the price point, with two of us taking home leftovers out of the four people dining. To drink, three of us had shakes, or rather batidos, with the prices being $7 en agua or $8 en leche. I went with Lulo,
