This place is very tasty. The flavor of the food is worth the drive/walk/trip. Inside is very small, they just have a couple of tables. They also have tables outside but during winter is hard to sit there because of the cold. The service here was very good. Our waiter was super courteous and he paid attention to all details. The food took about 45 minutes to get to us but the flavor made up for the wait time. If you want to try good Ecuadorian food, this is one of the best places to go. Our favorite plate was the Bolon mixto which is definitely a MUST. The prices are fair compared to other places. I would want to go back and try different plates.
Excellent food, drinks, and overall vibe. I've been going here for years and its the best Ecuadorian food I've found in the US, which has also been confirmed by my family that has visited from Ecuador. Owner and staff are all very friendly and attentive. Favorites dishes from here include Lomito Salteado, Llapingachos, Seco de Chivo, Seco de Pollo, and Empanadas de Verde.
Can't recommend this spot enough. :)
So sad they will be closing at the end of this month. They have the most amazing food and very authentic recipes. Go get the fritada with mote and the bolon de verde. The staff was also super attentive and very friendly. Overall a wonderful experience here !!
Tasty foods🇪🇨 Ingredients were simple, plantains, potatoes and eggs and just so delicious and healthy! Lamb rice was perfect, meat was well cooked and tender, like the sauce very much! Of course Tres leches cake for a perfect ending. Good proportion for two people👌 Restaurant was cozy, has outdoor seats. The location wasn’t too far from a subway station, easy to access! Prices are lovely too.
We were staying too late, just a kindly reminder that to make sure the plates were empty then to clean the table. Still a wonderful late meal~
Excellent ecuadorian lunch and fantastic & friendly service by Angel. We enjoyed the loaded bolón de verde and black coffee to start. Caldo de bola was a hit at our table. I ordered a bandera: guatita, seco de chivo, ceviche de camarón. Though it wasn't my favorite, the dish was beautifully plated and included yellow rice, sweet plantains, and sliced avocado. We plan to visit again when we're back in NYC- this time sticking with the lighter meals and definitely getting the bolón again!
Delicious flavors. Came early on a warm Friday, seated outside on a patio, only ones there. The seafood in coconut sauce was the highlight; other dishes were great too.
For those who would like to try Ecuadorian food and above all have the experience of its food and people (quality) El ñaño is the best place in New York, the attention is spectacular and fast, the food is very fresh and delicious, the owner is very friendly and always makes sure you are having a good time! I told him I was from Manabi and he was so excited that he played traditional music from my province and I felt at home! A place to come back
The food was ok (mind you this is coming from someone who grew up with an Ecuadorian grandma who cooked authentic Ecuadorian dishes everyday, so it's hard to compare). The bolon was delicious. I highly recommend getting the Nano Agrio cocktail drink! Overall a good experience, the staff is very nice and attentive.
Found this place by casualty. The location itself is cozy with 6-7 tables, it is a little cold even with a curtain covering the door the wind creeped in. The food was really good! As an Ecuadorian I was doubtful of a good Ecuadorian place in Manhattan but was pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend the llapingacho plate and the watita. The tres leches was okay not a big fan.
It’s a whole in a wall but the food was on point. It was really tasty and delicious. I’m Ecuadorian so I tend to get things my family doesn’t make often. The bolon was my favorite.
