Looking to expand our palette, I suggested to my sister to try La Ronda for our first Ecuadorian dining experience. To start our meal we chose two appetizers; sweet plantains with cheese (Maduros con queso) and an avocado salad (Ensalada de aguacate). The combination of grilled sweet plantains and cheese was bound to be good; the plantains were nicely caramelized and the gooey mozzarella-like cheese contrasted with just the right amount of saltiness. To balance our palettes, we added the Avocado salad and it was nicely prepared with all the vegetables being very fresh; especially the silky Avocado slices. We both enjoyed the tangy lemon juice based dressing as well. We both ordered entrees from the weekend specials section; me the Hornado (roasted pork) platter and my sister the Fritada (fried pork) platter. I really enjoyed my Hornado platter. Firstly the unique "mote" giant (boiled and peeled) corn kernels were satisfyingly sweet, juicy, and so addictive with a pleasing pop when bitten into. The spoonful of salsa topping the mote added a welcoming tang and acidity. I loved the Llapchingos (potato patties) that were slightly crispy from being pan seared, yet retaining the smooth mashed potato texture inside. Finally onto the roast pork (Hornado) which was quite flavorful with a distinct gamey taste from the moist dark meat and a hint of smokiness. Seasoning was kept quite light handed with not much I could distinguish besides salt and pepper. My sister thoroughly enjoyed her Fritada platter. The most prominent and delicious part of this platter were the several meaty and fatty fried pork chunks. This platter also had a nicely sized grilled plantain, that was just like our appetizer sans cheese. The addicting mote was here too. Finally the other difference was the inclusion of toasted corn kernels that added a nice crunch and was so reminiscent of a Peruvian side dish I've enjoyed before. To conclude, service was very attentive and friendly, and the restaurant (while not fancy) was clean and comfortable. My very good experience at La Ronda has me planning another visit soon or to seek another Ecuadorian restaurant! read more

Stumbled upon this hidden treasure. Being married to an Ecuadorian woman, I'm exposed to cuisine very often at home. Having the meals we ordered I can say the food was delicious. VERY BIG portions. For an appetizer we ordered the Bolton Gigante Mixto con queso y chicharron (mixed green plantain dumpling with cheese and pork). For our dinner we ordered Arroz Marinero (rice w/seafood) and chilfles with camarones apanados ( green plantain chips w/ breaded shrimp). Each shrimp was half of the size of the palm of my hand. I asked for the homemade ranch to dip them in and it was also delicious. Another great part was having leftovers for the following day. Parking is available. Very spacious location. Very good service. Also, very clean place. Looking forward to another trip there. read more

Never judge a restaurant by its menu. What do you do when you are in a new area and have to eat? Google restaurants near me, that's how I found this place. I ordered the Ceviche and this get the 5 stars, it is Ecuadorian food. The Ceviche was cooked excellently, it had the whole shrimps inside and the taste was on the dot, I can say so because I had had homemade Ceviche and Ceviche from other restaurants and I can say that yes, this is one of the best. I did had steak from this place and it was okay. I also ordered a dish that has their 3 style Ceviches which I do not recommend because it comes in 3 separate containers and is not a mixed 3 in 1 dish. Actually, 1 of their style ceviche of the 3's I didn't like, it tasted likse shushi/ raw fish, I think it was mussels Ceviche, I might be worg. Play it save and get the regular Ceviche. read more

I'll most definitely update my rating again once I order from them again. As of right now, they did a SOLID job. We ordered over door dash randomly because we wanted to try something new. We were pleasantly surprised. The mahi-mahi fish tacos were superb! We also ordered the tostones... they were over cooked, which sucked, but the guacamole that came with them was NICE!!!!!!! The Tres leche was pretty good as well. I look forward to ordering again and updating their star quantity in the near future. read more

The service was horrible. The drinks that came out were the wrong ones. One appetizer out of two came out 30 minutes later and it was cold. They made us wait 1 hour and 10 minutes before we asked for the status of the food. The waitress pretty much said that the catering they were preparing took presidency. It seemed like they were not professional in the food business. They had an order of 15+ trays coming out for a party but yet they didn't attend and serve the patrons that were present with children. Zero stars if I could. NEVER COMING BACK. read more

Ordered the taco box, chicken and steak, last minute for my son's mini birthday party. Definitely did not disappoint! My only regret is not ordering two. The tacos were delicious with the sauce they provided. The nachos were simple and plain but we added guacamole and that was fresh and paired perfectly with the nachos. read more

La Ronda Restaurant - Half-eaten taco box (couldn't manage a photo before my family dug in) - Latin American Near Me - North Plainfield, New Jersey

My girlfriend and I ordered from here today as we were looking for some really good Spanish food to have for dinner to celebrate our anniversary during this quarantine. The photos on the website looked good and the reviews seemed fine too. We selected the pick-up option and the food was ready in about an hour. We picked up the food and got home only be be EXTREMELY disappointed. We got a very generous proportion which is the only good thing. We ordered the grilled steak platter and the steak au jus. The meat looked grey and felt like rubber. The fries that came with it looked soggy and had absolutely no flavor. The avocados came with several brown/black spots on them and the rice was so tasteless. We gave it a try and couldn't get through the food because of how sickening the meat looked. I wish I took a photo of everything for this review before I tossed it out. We are definitely never ordering from here again. read more

Have to try there fish taco, either covina fish or mahi fish, it's well worth it. And we always get the Seafood Chaulafan and the shrimp Sampler. Great service and the people who work there are great! read more

The food was greasy (breaded chicken and tostones) and they didn't give me the right items. My salad was missing and I got the wrong empanada. I may try more authentic Ecuadorian food if I order again. It depends if Ubereats works with them to fix my issue. read more

Today I was ordering food and my waitress came up , The thing about me is that I am a food critic to the max. Okay so when she came up to get my order she was dead looking into my eyes . She was giving me a dead stare like She couldn't blink . It was the smallest waitress ever . It was just making me uncomfortable and made me sweat. At the end of the day she gave me delicious food and I got her number . Good food read more

This is REALLY good Ecuadorian food. The place also looks pretty clean and the service is good. My husband and I love this place. It is slightly more expensive than other places but the quality of the food is great. The Chaulafan and Pollo Empanizado are our favorites. It's a place worth a try if you're in the mood for Latino food, just note the portions are HUGE. So if you order food you'll likely have enough for 2-3 days. read more

steak tacos were good, mahi mahi tacos were pretty dry, and those were the strangest "empanadas" I've ever had... got 1 chicken and 1 beef. they were a weird cornbread-like consistency and the filling was something I wouldn't identify as meat but rather some mush that may as well have been raw dough. very disappointed in those. If I order here again with better food experience I'll absolutely update this review read more
