An Ecuadorian seafood specialist built around hot, comforting bowls and cold ceviche intensity, with the best orders staying firmly in the tuna-and-onion lane. Come hungry, keep it traditional, and let one signature soup carry the meal instead of scattering across the menu.

Weekend wait: 15–30 minutes during peak hours, shorter if you arrive early.
Weekday lunch: Usually little to no wait outside the noon rush.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Very limited—menu is heavily seafood-focused with few meatless sides.
