Special place in latacunga with the best sandwiches! Lovely atmosphere to go for drinks also. Almost all the flags from around the world are on the wall, check it out if yours is there!Definitely a must go if you’re in Latacunga!

Very nice atmosphere with good food and drinks. I would recommend this place for a relaxed time with for example some nachos and a mojito.

You HAVE to eat here! All the staff are super friendly, the food is delicious, good atmosphere and the portions are very generous! Would 100% recommend the nachos, the mulled wine and the shrimp sandwich.

Excellent restaurant. The cheese board was mind blowing. They have been working with the locals around to work their cheeses and they really did a great job (very tasty). From a French and Canadian couple! The cocktails and wines were also very good. The ambiance and all the staff were just fabulous! Everyone were very friendly. recommend this lovely hidden gem of Latacunga.

What an incredible restaurant! Our favourite one in Ecuador so far. You can sit outside in the beautiful garden or in the cozy inside.. both are full of character and very romantic. The service was incredible and you could tell that the people working there love their jobs! Such a great vibe.

What a great find in Latacunga Centro Histórico! In 450 year old building, the first house in the district! Very cool vibe, great seating and local eclectic collection of items relating to Latacunga. But the star here is the food! Super fresh, portions that are too big to finish and excellent service, and very fair prices! You can find something for a little less elsewhere, but it won't be the same quality or portion. And the owners, El Gringo (Mo) and his wife are utterly charming and welcoming, sharing stories and checking in on us just the right amount, so that we experienced their warmth but were also able to enjoy each other for our meal. Oh, and we arrived about 30 minutes before closing and they happily seated us and offered the full menu! All in all it was a fantastic dining experience and a great find! We will go back!
