 tripe stew? tasty but not for veggies by richiecdisc This is another Lonely Planet recommendation that you would certainly miss without some guidance. In fact, it’s not likely you would even notice this unassuming little place without having been told about it. We ate there twice and it seems not many other Lonely Planet readers were drawn in with the lure of tripe stew. It was busy with locals and it seemed out of town Ecuadorians there to try the specialty guatita.
They only have a few things on the menu and most come to eat guatita ($2.50), tripe and potato stew in a peanut based thick sauce. It is served with a nice whole grain roll and a half of a very ripe avocado. It’s funny as we ordered only one at first figuring we might not like it but once D tried it, we ordered a second bowl. I kept the first one and it had more potatoes then tripe but D was not so lucky garnering a bowl full of tripe! Obviously, the owner was rewarding us for liking it and I wound up eating some of her tripe as to not appear ungrateful. It is a very tasty and filling meal but unless you can stomach tripe it’s probably best to leave it to the locals. I enjoyed it myself and went back on a later visit to Quito.

Sergio, Christina, and I went here for coffee while we were shopping at the Esquina Shopping Centre in Cumbayá. It is a typical coffee house with all manner of confections and even ice cream. Coffee sure feels good during the nearly inevitable afternoon rains. Corfu is run by the same folks as Cyrano bakeries. At shopping centres with one, there is usually the other not far away.
The lot of us had cappuccino. Mine was a little too frothy. Leave a Comment

Lonely Planet heralded this restaurant like it had stock in it but it was full of not only LP readers but also locals enjoying their admittedly good and fairly priced food. It was very big, modern and clean. It’s not exactly what you imagine when you envision a local South American restaurant but it is what more upscale locals seem to be looking for. What we didn’t like were the people working there. I could maybe accept that since it was busy they didn’t have time to be overly friendly but they were generally rude and also often out of certain items unless you were the first to get in the door. Also, certain dishes were only available for very restricted hours.
At any rate, the food we had there was quite good and not much more than most places in town. The much raved about fruit salad was a bit sweet for us but the empanadas (90 cents) were amongst the best of the whole trip and we especially liked the chicken ones though it was tough to get there in time to get them. The locro a la papa (a potato stew with avocado for $1.50) was excellent as was their juices. We went there a few times on our first visit of Quito but when we returned it didn’t drive us back like the other more authentic (and friendly) places.

Benalcazar was a Conquistador who founded "modern" Quito after the Inca Ruminahui burned the old city down rather than seeing it taken. This simple eatery is very busy (a good sign). You can eat a filling almuerzo there, while discreetly engaged in people watching.
I had soup, a quarter of a roast chicken, rice, fries, salad, and a diet soda for $4. Nothing fancy, but the perfect fuel for a long day of walking from church to church.

 we found out why snacking in Quito is popular! by richiecdisc It pays to keep your eyes open even when riding on the bus. D was dying for a fruit salad before we left Ecuador and we hadn’t really seen a good one since we’d left Cuenca weeks earlier. I saw this place from the bus and made a mental note of where it was. It was just a little place across from the market but it looked promising and we were happy to find it very full of locals especially policemen enjoying their wares.
D had a nice big fruit salad for a dollar and I had a huge guanbanana batido (a fruit milk shake) for sixty cents. We went back the next day for the same thing! Now, we understood why snacking was so popular in Quito! Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveDirections: across from the Mercado Central

by tejanasueca Want to try what the Ecuadorians eat without spending the big bucks? Be brave and head to a local favorite, "Motes de la Magdalena" where the food is fast, cheap, good, and will most definitey fill you upp. It is what you would call an Ecuadorian style fast food place.
I recommend the Llapingachos de Ambato....which will get small potato cakes (the actual llapingachos), meat, salad, avocado...when you buy your meal you will get a ticket...you then go with the ticket to the place that looks kind of like a lunch cafeteria line....hand them the pink ticket and you will get your meal.

The one closest to Mariscal is on Colón, a couple of blocks west of Reina Victoria.

I had the best times in this friendy, well organised hostel. When I first arrived there was no room at all so they recommended hotel San Blas, just around the corner, to me as a solution. The friendly staff welcomed me everyday with the best smiles although I didn't stay there. They are really friendly and understandable as they are mostly travelers who work for a certain time there. But the greatest asset is the roof terrace where astonishing dinners are served. The imaginative and savoury meals are filling and cheap. They have been some of the best meals I had in Ecuador. There is an extremely familiar atmosphere around the huge table where everybody is welcomed to share the food and the company. All guests end up to be friends, even if they are staying at another hotel and just show up for dinner. The great views and the frequent parties make food taste even better! The views are astonishing at night. Prices are about 5$US for main dishes and less than 3$US for either the first plate or dessert. There is mostly local dishes with always some extra touch that makes every plate unforgettable. I made some great friends there who I still keep in touch with... Click on the photo...

 Empanadas Bolivianas by b1bob Sometimes the best restaurants are small, hole-in-the-wall places like Empanada Boliviana. Restaurants like these that do one or a few things do them well because you know everything is fresh and good. These folks only do beef and chicken empanadas with a little ahí on the side if you want it.
I had 2 beef empanadas with some ahí on the side and some Güitig to wash it down. This $3 meal was better than some for which I have paid more than $15. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Calle Enrique Gangoteno
