    While Café Eucalyptus is a nice enough place to have a few drinks, I would never eat anything there again. After a few mojitos we had a hankering for something to snack on and when we saw a Middle Eastern tapas plate we decided to take a plunge on the splurgy $7 “snack.” Now, I know by western standards this would be a cheap meal but in Ecuador you could eat for a couple days on that amount. I wouldn’t mind the exorbitant price if the food was good and authentic but it was neither. Note that tabouli is NOT made with cilantro as much as I love that spice and cumin is not a spice normally found in hummus. Not only was the food not authentic it was pretty small considering the price. In fact, it was mostly pita bread.

    No problem going here for drinks, just go elsewhere once you get the munchies!
