As an avid food enthusiast, I had the pleasure of diving into the Ecuadorian Restaurant Food Company’s menu, and I must say, it’s a delightful blend of traditional Ecuadorian flavors with a modern twist. Let’s start with the appetizers. The Cheese Patties, Chicken Patties, and Beef Patties are absolutely mouthwatering, each offering a crispy outer layer filled with rich, savory fillings. For a unique bite, try the Green Plantains Patties or the Humita – a steamed corn treat with a soft, creamy texture that pairs wonderfully with any main course.
When it comes to salads, the menu showcases a refreshing selection. The Ensalada de Mariscos (Seafood Salad) and Ensalada de Camaron (Shrimp Salad) are packed with fresh seafood, tossed with vibrant vegetables and light dressing. For something heartier, the Ensalada de Pollo (Chicken Salad) and Ensalada Mixta (Mixed Salad) offer the perfect balance of protein and freshness, while the Ensalada de Aguacate (Avocado Salad) is a creamy, zesty addition.
For a truly Ecuadorian experience, the Picada de la Casa and Picada Cuencana are a must-try. These meat platters are perfect for sharing, offering a variety of grilled meats, plantains, and more. If seafood is your preference, the Picada de Marisco (Seafood Platter) won’t disappoint, featuring a rich mix of shrimp, fish, and clams.
The seafood options are plentiful, from the hearty Encebollado de Pescado (Fish Stew) to the crispy Filete de Corvina Frita (Fried Corvina Fillet), each dish is prepared with fresh ingredients that highlight the richness of Ecuador’s coastal cuisine. If you’re in the mood for something traditional, the Ecuadorian Dish/Bandeja Ecuatoriana is a flavorful representation of the country’s diverse food culture.
Lastly, don't miss out on the grilled offerings. The Pechuga a la Parrilla (Grilled Chicken Breast) is perfectly seasoned and comes with various sides, including the creamy Ensalada de Aguacate or crispy Papas Fritas (French Fries).
This menu is a treasure trove of Ecuadorian delights that will transport you straight to the heart of the Andes and coastal Ecuador. Each dish is expertly crafted to offer an unforgettable taste of Ecuador’s vibrant culinary heritage.
