This was our first Ecuadorian cuisine experience. We were given a red rose at the door for Valentines Day. The staff was very friendly and helped us decide on our food. We shared the meat plate for two. There was a good quantity of food....The taste is unique and delicious. The price was very reasonable for the quality and quantity we received.More

We started going 10 years ago and the menu has gotten larger and mixed with different types of fares, our favorites beef empanadas, papas serranos, tilapia ciabatta with patacones, arroz con pollo with fried ripe plantains, simply delicious.

Very good food. Excellent local site for families. Prices reasonable. I have eaten there several times and have not been disappointed

this was recommended by a friend so we thought we would try it. when we arrived, there was almost nobody in there. that should have been a clue we ordered what the waitress recommended which was a shrimp dish. my wife wouldnt even eat it....i ate it but added a lot of rice to cut the taste. not our cup of tea ...sorryMore

We are loyal TA followers. 9 times out of 10...TA is right on the money. This was the #10. Super dissapointed. Came here b/c Triple D was here in 2014. In the 5 years since then, not sure what has happened. Service was marginal at...best (although very friendly). My linen napkin was dirty...got a new one. Drinks were okay. Beef Empanadas were very good. BUT---no crema? The 2 entree's seemed dumbed down for the American audience in Iowa. No insult intended to Iowans...but this was closer to Mexican than it was Ecuador. Pork tidbits WAY overcooked. Plantains WAY undercooked. Usually my favorite part of a meal...but they were almost raw. Again---friendly staff----but SLOW. Prices reasonable. Can't believe this is the #1 rated place in town. We would have been better off to go to a chain...More

This was the first time I tried Ecuadorian food. I didn’t have to wait to get seated; the people there were very nice, the food was ready in minutes and it was delicious. A must-try if you’re in Des Moines.

I have eaten my share of salads when dining out in this area as I am gluten free and have some additional food allergies. Not here! I was able to partake of several appetizers as well as entrees. The flan, at the end of our...meal, was delicious. Spending my money locally is important to me and not getting sick when eating out is a big plus. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. We’ll go back!More
