Bandera

by MalenaN

Bandera is an Ecuadorian meal with rice, different ceviches (shrimp, fish and concha) and guatita, a stew made of tripe (cow stomach). The Bandera in the 1st photo is from Cevicheria El Sol de Manta in Latacunga. It was served with half an avocado and a bowl of popcorn. The Bandera and an orange juice was $8.50 (August 2011).The Bandera in the 2nd photo is from Ceviches Pedro y Pablo in Quito. With this bandera only one ceviche was served, a mix of shrimp and concha. The Bandera was served with a bowl of popcorn and mote (maize) and a lemon drink. It was $5.00 (June 2011).

Ceviche

by MalenaN

Ceviche is a dish made of uncooked fresh seafood which is marinated in lemon juice, and it often comes with herbs and sliced onion and tomato on top. You can have ceviche made of fish, shrimps, squid or shellfish. You can also get a mixed ceviche with different seafood. I like the fish and/or shrimp ceviche best.Ceviche is often served with popcorn or banana chips on the side.The ceviche in the picture is a Ceviche de Pescado (fish) which I ate at the restaurant Rincón de Alma in Puerto Ayora. It was $8.50 (July 2011) and then a plate of banana chips were also included. At restaurant El Sol de Manta in Latacunga I had a fish and shrimp ceviche, which was served with popcorn on the side. Together with a side order of avocado and a lemon juice it was $9.20.

Fried empanadas

by MalenaN

In many places in Ecuador you can buy big fried empanadas. They are made of dough which is fried while you are waiting. They are warm when you eat them and they are delicious, but very greasy. The ones I had didn’t have any filling but sometimes there is a cheese filling.The first photo is from the market in Zumbahua where I bought two empanadas and a coffee for $0.75 (July 2011). And the second photo is from Restaurant El Pollo Pachanguero in Centro Histórico in Quito, where I bought one for $0.50 when I passed by.Besides these large fried empanadas you can of course buy the smaller empanadas with filling everywhere in Ecuador.

Rancho Chileno 1: The best empanadas in CUENCA !!!

by elsadran

Just next to the airport there is a very good restaurant. The quality of the food, the informal atmosphere, the rustic decoration and the tables in the space outside makes it worthy of a visit. Use it before or after the flight. Visit it even if you have arrived or are leaving by bus, as it is just 2 blocks from the main bus station on Avenida Espana. Have a meal, a drink or just a delicious “empanada” very typical in Ecuador. The international and traditional dishes are well cooked. The ceviches and prawn dishes are very tasty. Prices are between 1$ (for natural juices) and 6$ for the main dishes. The special beef dish costs 7$ and is really delicious.There is also a second large space inside more formally decorated for special events. The best is sitting outside on a sunny day munching the savoury food and watching the planes come and go...The small street in front is called Elia...

Rancho Chileno 2-CUENCA: for a romantic evening...

by elsadran

This is a very elegant restaurant with very good food and a romantic ambient. Candle lit tables, soft music and formal, delicate decoration makes it the perfect place for an unforgettable dinner with your sweetheart or a relaxed chat with your friends. Food is carefully cooked and involves international and local savours. Service is excellent and prices are surprisingly low for what it is. They are the same prices as its “brother” Ranch Chileno 1 near the airport. That is, main dishes around 6$, including both beef and seafood dishes, ceviches, prawns, shrimps, “lomo” and much more.It's been recently renovated and has a huge upper floor hall for group dinners and special events.It is also near the airport , just 80 meters further on Avenida Espana, on the same side of the street.It's part of the traditional house of a respectable family of Cuenca.Click on the photo.Un restaurante con...

El Maiz-CUENCA: Culinary art...

by elsadran

Walking down Calle Larga I stopped at the ruins of Todos los Santos. Looking up to my right I saw a beautiful beautiful balcony attached to a nicely decorated house. I had to take the photo so I went in and I was pleased to see the interior of the restaurant was equally pleasing. Wonderfully decorated, nice pale colors, happy atmosphere. Even the customers were smiling at me . I sat in the back yard balcony with the colourful little garden. When my order came I also had to take its picture so well presented. The taste was also satisfying and I quickly came to like the wonderful ladies, Eulalia and Maria, who tried to make everybody happy with their polite warmth and their smiling eagerness. They run the restaurant very efficiently and take care of every client as if they are their own friends. They have turned cooking to a culinary art, trying to combine their local products with the...

Las Nuestras: In Quito, don't miss the typical empanadas

by toy_leroy

If you travel to Ecuador and are the kind of typical food lover, like me, I highly recommend visiting Las Nuestras Empanadas Fast Food Restoran. Las Nuestras offers about 30 different types of Empanadas and delicious natural fruit juices (I recommend the Naranjilla Batido, just delicious!). Typical empanadas from Ecuador include the ones that are best in this restoran: Morocho (hard to express for us gringos, just say MOROTJO so that guy understands what you want) Empanadas, Shrimp Empanadas and Carne Picante Empanada.

La Terraza restaurant & Natural Yogurt-VILCABAMBA

by elsadran

La Terraza: What kept me going to this restaurant is the avocado salad with corn chips, called Aguacate! But the owner proudly claims he offers every kind of dish you can imagine, both local and international. They specialize in Mexican and Oriental food. The local meat dishes are extremely popular with locals. Also try 'fahitas de pollo', 'tacos churrascos' and chicken on the grill.Natural Yogurt: This a small bar-restaurant also in the Central Square. It serves several dishes but I only went there for a crepe or a good breakfast with natural yogurt and fresh fruit.It is very popular both with locals and tourists.. The few tables outside are always full.

Restaurant “El Mirador” - VILCABAMBA: home made food

by elsadran

Just opposite the Recreation Center in Vilcabamba there is a nice local restaurant offering simple but delicious local food, with a home made taste. The large terrace with views to the green mountains all around explains its name. There are a lot of meat dishes, fish, shrimps and chicken. Try “encebollado de pescado”, a rich tomato soup of fish containing a lot of veggies!1 more photo...

Cuy: a local delicacy

by elsadran

Cuys are rodents and are native to the Andes. Cuy is nothing else but the Guinea Pig. Have you seen one alive? It's a very cute and furry little animal. Cuys are also very common in South American cuisine. It is cooked on a barbecue, broiled or fried and it is usually served whole. It is also considered an honoured dish for special occasions and celebrations. In Peru it is their national dish. I remember in a church in Cusco there is a big cuy dish painted on the table of the Holy Dinner! In Western societies it has often been kept as a pet so maybe that's why Westerns find it difficult to get used to the idea of eating it. I had one, too. I called it Toto and kept it in a cage. It spent all day running on his wheel and carried all the seeds I gave him in his little house. When I gave him a lot, he put them all in his mouth and carried them into his house where he took them out to eat...
