Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise food that tastes like home cooking in Ecuador, with corviche the dish named most, alongside ceviche and arroz marinero. Others single out the cazuela, caldo de gallina, chaulafan, encebollado, and tres leches, and big portions come up repeatedly. Servers and hosts draw warm comments, and several describe a cozy, welcoming room, with one mentioning saxophone music. The caveats are practical. Several mention a long wait for a table. One reviewer says a phone call to book a large party was ended with a line that no English was spoken, and the hostess spoke none on arrival, though the waiter then helped with some English. A few were disappointed that no alcohol is served, though the jugo de mora, limonada, and soursop juice drew praise. One reviewer notes the single bathroom has a loose faucet and no seat. One diner finished a Desayuno Montubio and still left with an order of guatita to go.

    “When it comes to the atmosphere it really brings everything together on top of the delicious food that was served. Allison was very attentive, let us try their cheese (it was very fresh and super delicious), and assisted us with the arrangement of the plates. The only thing I would improve is the bathroom. There is only one and it doesn’t have a seat for us ladies and the sink faucet is loose. Overall great attention, service, and atmosphere. Would come again!”
  • Ana Garcia
    “Celebrated my mom’s birthday here on Sunday. Overall good service and delicious Ecuadorian food. It was our first time coming here and the atmosphere was nice as well as the decor. The only thing that was kind of disappointing was there were no alcohol drinks, but the jugo de mora, limonada and pina colada was really good and refreshing. Will definitely be back!”

    “True Ecuadorian food! Every time I’m in New Jersey, this is my go-to spot for authentic Ecuadorian cuisine. I had the Desayuno Montubio, and it was absolutely delicious. Allison provided outstanding service—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. I even left with a guatita to go because I couldn’t resist! Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic Ecuadorian flavors and great hospitality. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
  • Gabriel Sanchez
    “The food, atmosphere, and service was absolutely amazing! You can absolutely feel the love of the Ecuadorian culture from the people who dine here and those that host us. Maria José was absolutely a great hostess and made sure we had what we needed. The food is so rich in flavor that you will not be disappointed in anything you select. It’s well worth the visit. Buen Provecho!”
