I was in the Orlando area doing the Disney thing and decided to try out this Ecuadorian restaurant with my cousin and his family. As with most Ecuadorian restaurants I’ve visited, they didn’t have a lot of the items advertised on their menu; specifically bolon de verde and empanadas de aire/queso. This was not good because a number of us were craving this staple Ecuadorian dish and were really disappointed. I ended up ordering the secco de chivo and it was really good. My cousin had the llapingachos and he said they were really good as well. My wife and niece ordered the churrasco and were not that thrilled, but they’re picky and couldn’t get over the fact they couldn’t have bolon de verde. My cousin’s wife ordered the menestra and didn’t like it, but she’s also picky. I was able to taste both my wife’s, and my cousin’s wife’s dishes and let me tell you, they’re both crazy! Their food was great! Lastly, my cousin’s kids ordered the chaulafan and it was awesome! I’m taking two stars away only because they didn’t have a number of important dishes available which caused the wives to bitch and moan. Other than that, the food was very good and the service was better than expected. I’ll definitely go back when I’m in Orlando.

Food is ok… place and service are just horrible… food is way over priced… $ 12 for a caldo de bola and they don’t even serve it with rice… workers they don’t even acknowledge when you walk in. Simple not worthy…

Fui a comprobar un lugar para el desayuno esta mañana, antes de ser abierto, con mi novio y sus compañeros de trabajo(muy blancos). La puerta seguía cerrada, pero uno de las meseras se acercó y la abrió., Ella parecía confundida cuando mi novio preguntó a la mesera si el restaurante estaba abierto. Ella respondió: «usted sabe que esto es un restaurante español, ¿verdad?» Dijo«sí, ¿Sirven desayuno aquí?» Ella dijo que no y nos dirigió a otro restaurante … Um, no estamos ciegos. Yo quería decir la señora que, «desayuno» está escrito en la puerta. Oye señora, no se porqué no querías nuestro negocio pero ojalá que su jefe no lee esto

My husband is from GYE — Ecuador, I’ve only been there once a few years ago and fell in love with humitas. I really like Rincon Latino, we’ve been here at least 5 times, usually for lunch on Sundays. I love their rice and lentils plus I usually get their passion fruit juice with milk. Food is very good and their staff is friendly.

Just left the place, the food was great, highly recommend the bolon de verde and the empanadas de queso. It’s small, quaint and looks family owned.

With the help of Unilocal I was able to find this hidden gem located within a small plaza on the east side of Orlando. La mejor comida Latina! Legitimate Ecuadorian food served. I had to two native Ecuadians from New York as witnesses. If you’re Spanish is rusty — thank God for pictures. If that doesn’t help — wing it! Start the meal with Empanadas De Viento — Cheese Empanadas and some fruit smoothies. Friend tried to keep a hold of her menu so that we could later order dessert. It’s almost 1 in that afternoon and our waitress said that there was no desserts? Wasn’t that bummed because I knew the portions wouldn’t allow much room for dessert either way. As plates slowly(pretty slowly) started flowing to the table I knew I was right. Sango de Verde: Ecuadorian green plantain soup about the size of a small child. Filled with pork, veggies, huge potatoes, yams, etc. Llapingachos: Potato Cake filled with cheese and a side of a peanut sauce. The potato cake feels more like molded mashed potatoes though. Peanut sounds a little strange but pairs very nicely with the golden potatoes. Tasted a little of everything our big group order. Can’t remember the names of everything but this place did not disappoint. Not much in décor but good atmosphere and great food.

This quaint restaurant is in an almost dead strip mall but serves food packed with flavor. This is the only Ecuadorean food that I am aware of in Orlando and it is definitely worth a try. The chaulafan is enormously portioned and can be split between two meals or two people. The corvina frita is a fried corvina fillet and is served with rice, tostones, and a nice refreshing salad. The staff is super friendly and helpful. My only deduction for a star comes from the price. If one is not ordering the lunch special($ 4.99), the price can rapidly increase beyond what one would be expecting for lunch.

I recommend the Fritada or the salchi papas, taste just like ECUADORIAN hot dogs. Place is small but the owner and waitress very nice and humble. Me and my family will definitly be back

Nice warm family atmosphere but none of the servers spoke. english! Luckily I was with Puerto Rica friends fluent in Spanish! Came here on a Friday nite and I find the prices a bit high-$ 10th or more for a small entre. Ordered the Eudora sample & empanada. As appetizers, very small, but flavor was not fearful. Sweet only for the was warm. Not really interested in coming back

We are Americans and we went to try the food to see if we could recommend it to our daughter-in-law, who is Ecuadorian. We will most definitely! We ordered the llapping gachos dinner with the pork. The portions were large, the pork was succulent, even the salad was refreshingly light and tasty. We will be sure and stop in again when we are in the area.

Food is good. Owner customer service really bad. Waitress is an angel but lady owner has a really bad attitude she is going to lose a lot of client.

It is very hard to find food from Ecuador here in Orlando. This is the only place that I know off, in the Orlando Area, where you can find Bandera, Humitas, Seco de Chivo, Bolon de Verde, etc. I’m from Ecuador and I love our food. This is place is not a fancy restaurant but the food is very good. If you have never eaten food from Ecuador, try the Sango de Camarones. If you are from Ecuador, then this is a nice place to go. My wife, who’s American, loves to eat Humitas and is so excited that she can get them here. I hope you guys like it too. Thanks,
