    Staff are very friendly, attentive & welcoming . The food is delicious. Couldn't decide on what to get so we got a little bit of everything and my family finished it all . The place is so well put together and beautiful art representing Ecuador

    Chuleta con chifles, ensalada, arroz y menestra con un postre delicioso y una tropical!
    Felipe R.

    Good neighborhood Ecuadorian restaurant in LA If you're looking for authentic Ecuadorean Food in Los Angeles this is the spot, as soon as you walk in you feel like you transcended to Ecuador. My first impression was amazing, the attention was on point and of course the food was amazing!!! Now here's the one of the best things they offer on Fridays, "Encebollado and or Chuleta con Arroz y Menestra con una Tropical" from noon to midnight this is unheard of iRRA, but now you can go out for drinks and know you have a spot to go to para el chuchaqui! I've been going to this restaurant for 8 months now and I wish I had discovered it sooner, the people are amazing, its family owned and I can go on and on about this hidden gem. They also have Ecuadorean products, atun, chifles, galletas de amor, aji, cacao en polvo etc. Definitely a must try if you're in town!

    Bandera-- guatita y ceviche

    The food is Delicious. I had guatita and ceviche. My son had guatita and seco de chivo. My mom had caldo de pata. Friendly service. I also like the flag and escudo that was represented on a mural on the outside of the building.

    Mote Pillo! So cheesy and so good!

    I'm SO glad this place exists! My husband is Ecuadorian, so I have been exposed to Ecuadorian food quite a few times. I also try to cook it myself because I want my son to be exposed to his culture (I myself am from Wisconsin, so don't worry he'll also have plenty of cheese and brats haha). We live just outside the city so we never make our way to Gardena unless there's a reason. Our nephew had a film screening at a nearby theater, so we were looking for food to eat beforehand...lo and behold, Ecuadorian nearby?! We had to try it. I really want this place to succeed because the food was really good and LA is soooo lacking in good Ecuadorian. So this is my honest review! PROS: - The food is really good. We had the mote pillo, humitas de sal (which comes with a nice big piece of Ecuadorian cheese! The Wisconsinite in me was so happy), guatita and seco de chivo with rice and plantain chips, a cheese empanada (which came with some kind of creamy dip, yummy), and a bolito de queso. - The owners/people who work there were very nice! It felt like being welcomed by family! Service was lightning fast and all our requests were accommodated. - Soccer playing and Latin music videos playing on the TV. Fun Latin music, Ecuadorian murals...just a very Ecuadorian vibe. Loved it! - Reasonably large menu! I couldn't decide so I ordered a lot. CONS: - Upon arrival, we were a little disoriented when we asked where we could sit. There were plenty of open tables, but instead of inviting us to sit at one of the open ones, we were invited to sit with a man (one of the owners?) who was already eating some ceviche in a small booth. I think maybe they were trying to keep the larger tables open for bigger parties? But there was plenty of space, so I'm not really sure why they wanted us to sit in an intimate booth across from someone who was already sitting there. And not sure why he didn't move?? I guess the nice thing about this is that we felt like family (and he even recommended the ceviche which he was clearly enjoying haha), but I can see how it would be off putting. - The booths and tables need a little TLC. The padding in the booth had holes and was peeling. The frame of the booth was peeling. The other tables that were not booths didn't have consistent chairs. Some of the chairs were folding chairs, which looked a little janky and awkward. - The food wasn't ~piping~ hot. It was warm/hot. Hot enough that I could still very much enjoy it, but I think it would go a long way for the meals to come out a few degrees warmer. That said, it did come out very fast!! - Some of the condiment jars at the table needed to be wiped down -- there was some dust and grime that had accumulated. - The guatita is advertised as having maduros (sweet fried plantains- it's even in the photograph on the menu), which I was SO excited about.....but it was actually just dried plantains chips. This was disappointing to me. It's so hard to find maduros in LA! Overall, we were very pleased. Food was so delicious. My husband commented that it tasted "homemade" and "authentic". I just wish they had more Sierra style dishes (more potato, like llapingachos or locro de papa) and more sausage (my husband loves caldo de salchicha). Anyway the cons are not significant enough to keep me away -- Dulcisfama is now our reason for going to Gardena!!! We both agreed we would make the drive to come back. I ate my leftover mote pillo for breakfast this morning and I was so sad when it was gone.

It's much more spacious, there's plenty of parking, and of course the pastries were just as delicious. I always come back for the strawberry croissant and the curry pan. They're my go-to every single time. If it's your first visit, I highly recommend trying those two.

    I saw this new Korean bakery which is pretty much across the street from our dentist. Nice parking…read morearea with a decent amount of spaces and a couple disabled spaces. Inside they have plenty of seating available to enjoy your pastries. As for bake good selections, they offer sweet and savory options. They even have some katsu plates with or without curry. I find some of their pastries are on the pricey end depending on what you select. Their most popular is the strawberry croissant which is sweet with a custard filling and strawberry slices. I tried their special Strawberry Mocha Latte which was really good, however, it was very small and very pricey. The service was great. The girl that helped me was super nice and very accommodating. After getting some bake goods for our dentist, I quickly had to eat the steamed pork buns while it was hot. The pork filling was like a pork siomai inside a fluffy soft dough. That was very good and worth the price. As for the sweet baked goods, I immediately tried them as soon as we got home. The cream puff was delicious and not too sweet, however for the size of it, I don't think it is worth the $4.00 price tag. The strawberry croissant on the other hand was cheaper and also very tasty and I would say it's worth the price tag.

    The service wasn't great and only one drink was good or correct. I'm still not 100% sure one of…read morethem was the correct drink. I ordered 2 drinks through the app yesterday, the Honey Bori Latte (seasonal) and the Banana Milk Latte. The Banana Milk Latte was delicious once everything was mixed well, but the Honey Bori Latte was just bitter and then less bitter when mixed. It was already half melted, there was no salted honey cold foam or Jolly Pong which is supposed to be part of the drink. I got the order to go, so I didn't notice that my drink was wrong until I got home, so I couldn't even get it corrected. I didn't realize the drink was wrong at first. I thought it was just a flavor I didn't like even though I noted that I couldn't taste Barley at all. Then half way throught it, I decided to look at the description on the app to remember what it was supposed to taste like because it tasted like an ordinary flavorless latte. The description said there's barley milk, salted honey cold foam and Jolly Pong. That's when it hit me that I either got the wrong drink or someone didn't make it right because there was no flavor of salted honey and definitely no Jolly Pong in my drink. It didn't even look like I had cold foam topping my drink, but maybe that's because it was melting already. Overall, I was very upset and disappointed with my drink, but was happy my mom's drink was fine. Now this is only a part of why I was dissapointed with yesterday's experience. The other reason was the app and workers. Maybe the workers aren't used to working with the Smoking Tiger app yet? Or maybe the app still needs work, but the drinks I ordered through the app took forever to be marked ready even though my drinks had been ready for some time which was obvious because my Honey Bori Latte was already half mixed because the layers of ingredients were melting into each other. I arrived at the cafe about 5 minutes after ordering, but the app's estimated wait time was another 10 minutes which wasn't a problem for me, especially since I saw a person waiting for his order and some people inside the cafe, although it wasn't full like usual. I just assumed some people ordered before me, so I just have to wait a bit, which again was fine with me especially since I was waiting for my mom to arrive. At some point after the one person waiting for their drink left, I realized the 2 girls at the counter were just talking and not making any drinks. I checked the app and it still said my order was being prepared. After 2 more people ordered their drinks and received them immediately, I went up to the counter, by this point it had been the app's estimated 10 minute wait. I told the girl with glasses my name and showed her the order on my phone. Then she walked toward the fridge and got my drinks, put them in a drink carrier, passed them to me and then turned around while looking at the receipt paper that was with the drinks. That was it. She didn't tell me which drink was which and they were not labeled, so my mom and I just had taste them to figure out which was which. At most places, they let you know which drink is which, so I was just confused with the service I received, especially when the place wasn't busy. And to top it all off, my order was marked completed 10 minutes after I received my order which again just left me in confusion. I usually love this place and was saddened when they got rid of their Choco Mugwort drink, but I'm always looking forward to their seasonal drinks and baked goods. This time though, I don't think I was even able to taste one of their new seasonal drinks because it tasted like a regular latte with milk. I want to try their other current seasonal drinks, but I'm also worried about what I will receive in the future and I'm not ready for another disappointing coffee any time soon.

Upon getting the omelette, there were no hash browns in the omelette. I told her that they didn't put any hash browns in the omelette and I wanted a $3 refund, which was how much extra $ was charged for the hash browns that I never got. She argued with me and yelled at me, and got the chef to argue and yell at me, insisting the hash browns were indeed in the omelette. I continued to yell back at them, explaining that there were absolutely no hash browns in my omelette and I want a refund for the hash browns immediately. Finally, after making me yell and argue with them for probably 3 minutes in front of the whole restaurant, she finally agreed to refund the $3. Horrible service, and dishonest. They tried everything they could to not give me a refund when there was no hash browns and I paid for them. Worst service ever.
