Absolutely the worst Ecuadorian food I've ever had here in NYC. I ordered the chaulafan. It was dry and full of salt. All the meat and shrimp tasted like it was at least a week old. I guess they used the salt to hide the old dried out meat. And then there's the confusion with the check. So the chaulafan was 25 dollars!!! A word of advice, don't ever come here for the food. Just dance and maybe a few beers. So we have 2 different waiters one for the food and one for the drinks. Not sure what kind of scam they are doing at this place but they seem like they add drinks on to your drink bill and hope you're too drunk to realize. Just be very attentive to what this place is doing with the drink waiters. Extremely hard pass on this establishment.
me and my family came to eat here , the service was good , the food on the other hand no so great. i ordered a fried egg with fried yuca and when i bit into the yuca it gave me a mouthful of oil, very unpleasant and when i asked to get it done again they looked at me like i was a crazy person. my step dad ordered the fried fish and plátanos , the plátanos as well came out with a lot of oil . my mother enjoyed her food but overall there’s better places .
My friend had her birthday there. We couldn't stay too long. It was so hot in there. The drinks tasted like juice. They played way too much salsa music. The bathroom is not clean. Not enough toilet paper and needs air freshener.
Stumbled upon this place. Food was delicious. We had a party of 11 and everyone was satisfied. Highly recommend. Food was excellent as was the service. Juan Pablo was attentive, friendly, made great recommendations, and was patient with our limited Spanish. He was an exceptional server and made our experience very memorable!
Best Ceviche I have tasted in Ridgewood , Queens -- the vibes were great , esp if you want some music , lounge/club atmosphere for a night out. Weeknd date nights too! I was exhausted otherwise I would of stayed way longer! I'll be back #aroundridgewood #LifeWithJess
The food is excellent but the service is absolutely awful. Sat for 10 minutes before a waitress came to our table asking if we had ordered yet and they were standing right in front of us eating. Then she dropped off the food and didn't come back until 5 minutes after I had piled the plates on the end of the table. We asked for the check and apparently one lady told the other and in the end we had to get up to get the check from someone at the bar because no one brought to us. Sad thing is that it hasn't been the only time. If their food wasn't so good I would never ever go back there.
It's ok but you can find better. It's decor is not the best. It looks like a run down bar. It's dark and dosen' t look clean. Lots of clutter. Many men drinking and ogling at the waitresses. Which all they can do was look pretty and not provide great customer service. The food is good but it's not great. I had pork chops and they were a little bland. My husband had the encebollado, he was pleased with it. My sons enjoyed the view more than the food. One had steak and the other chicken cutlet both came with rice and beans. Prices are a little expensive. It's not the first place I would choose.
$18.99 for an 16 onz. Ceviche??? Yeah right . and they said is because everything is expensive... Last time that i order from here
