Mi Castillo Ecuatoriano

Great food and nice cozy place! Went with a group of 4, each one order a different dish! They are all good! The order had been placed quickly, only 10 minutes waiting.

After a failed delivery the first time, I decided to try them again. The food was delicious. Warm with condiments and utensils and a whole container of rice in addition to the entrée. Two people could easily share this. The prices are reasonable, and the delivery was within an hour.

Love love love this place! Great food at a great price! The staff is always friendly even though there is somewhat of a language barrier but they haven’t messed up my order yet. Free wifi. Everything is very fresh. The beans could be tastier. The restaurant is small but it’s comfortable and clean although the bathroom could be cleaner. I’d recommend this place if you’re in the mood for some good spanish food. Thumbs up.

I am commenting on the lunch special
I ordered the roast chicken rice and bean+ soup lunch special takeaway. I don’t speak spanish, so I had a big problem communicating with the staff. The service is much quicker than any other takeaway places, got my food in less than 3 minutes!
The roast chicken is very flavorful, and the soup is heavenly, I don’t know the name of the potato and chicken soup, otherwise I would get it again on its own in the future.

I’ve always wonder what ceviche tasted like? Will I love it? Will I hate it?
What else do they have to offer? what is salchipapas? What’s guatita?
All these were the type of questions I asked at this Ecuadorian castle.
Not only did I eat all of the above mentioned, but I must say that, this place has a very nice warm and homey staff. This is were I ate ceviche for the first time. It was really good and yummy. The sauce was on point, the shrimps were plump and flavorful. The next time I go I will try the guatita the beef tripe. Salchipapas, on the other hands is something I had before, it’s basically french fries with fried sausage, but instead of potatoes, for us Dominicans, it would be plantains or tostones with fried salami.
Overall the décor it’s pretty safe, landscape paintings on the walls, but the service is good. Simplicity comes to mind when I go to this place.

never having had ecuadorian food before, i bombarded the very patient server, with a barrage of questions. que es esto? es mas como una tortilla o un a arepa? well, i can now tell you that the LLAPINGACHO was like neither tortillas, nor arepas, it was like either a mashed potato pancake or a mashed potato pancake, and a pretty good tasting mashed potato pancake AKA llapingacho at that.
i ordered the llapingacho con carne which of course was llapingacho with a tasty grilled hanger steak and two fried eggs on top. this montage is fairly similar to other south american foods, but it was drizzled with a peanut sauce and i’d never had steak and eggs in that context. i might add that this came with slices of perfectly creamy avocado, and that the meat was juicy and tender.
the señor sin suerte ordered a guanabana batido; the batido was nothing to write home about. my coffee, hit the spot.
the name of the restaurant is rather funny because, castillo means castle, and this place is more along the lines of rustic or campesino.
we’ll be back to try the camarones al ajillo and perhaps the sopa de pata.
