10/10 🇪🇨💙This really hit the spot as a first gen-Ecuadorian American the authenticy and flavor of the food is there in every dish we ordered today. The food and vibes are amazing,I couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience at this establishment. I will be coming back to explore their creative and extensive menu👍
Great ecuadorian food, music of all kind, fun cocktails (and they sell the trinkets included in the cocktails). Visited for my brother birthday (party of 6) and they have a bull (tradition in ecuador) with sparklers. The girls all work together for great service.
First time trying ecuadorian food and it was amazing. Cleared the plate. Would definitely recommend the restaurant is very clean with great music and amazing staff. Will be returning and deserving of there stars they have. 10/10
Loved the food loved the people! Every single person that works there was so friendly and happy to help with anything we needed. They know how food can make you nostalgic and bring back so many memories. They make that experience even more special. It felt like home. Daniela was amazing you can tell she loves what she does. I got to chat a bit with the owner and even though they were super busy that night he took the time to chat with me and share about his recent trip to Ecuador and how he learned new recipes while he was out there. I love that he is always looking to innovate his restaurant. Everyone should go, you won’t regret it. Order the mini bolones, they are to die for!
The nostalgia 😭♥️ the food is rich but not too salty. It feels cozy and the staff are very attentive. They also have kachitos and chocolate from Ecuador (IYKYK)
Food & drinks were great! We got the chaulafan and bandera. As well as the canelazo, Quaker and coffee to drink. Paola was wonderful. Would definitely come back.
Few places seem to manage to do what Leticia’s resturant has mastered. Appealing to the generation that brought these dishes to the US, the generation that grew up with them and appealing to a younger generation looking for new cuisines. The dishes our table tried were: chaulafan, bandera, hornado Cuencano, mini bolones, and my dish - tripa mishqui. While I can’t say that I personally liked all the dishes (the ceviche soup base felt a bit off, but typical for that tomato based execution, and my personal preference is a stronger shrimp based soup). I really felt every single dish was prepared and cooked with great attention to detail. You could taste and experience the intentional choices/combinations made with each dish. Overall, my family and I really enjoyed the food. And probably the best Ecuadorian food I’ve had at a resturant.
11/14 Tonight I went to Leticia Restaurant with my oldest daughter for a little “mommy and me” dinner, and it did not disappoint. We found it on social media, and honestly, it was even more beautiful in person — inside and out. The atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and perfect for a special night. We both ordered the Hornado Cuencano, and it was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed a pitcher of sangria and passion fruit margaritas, and everything was so flavorful. Truly, very very very good! Our server, Nancy, was new, but you would never know it. She was attentive, kind, and made our experience even better. Overall, we loved it, and I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend! 💛🍽️✨ 1/10/26 we went back and I swear it even felt better!!!! Everything made is fresh and full of nostalgic flavor!!!! I cannot wait to come back!
Leticia’s was one of the best food experiences I’ve had. I’m Ecuadorian and it made me feel like I’m back in my beautiful country . Not only was the food amazing but the service was just as great. Paula was so attentive and sweet to us. The atmosphere was perfect , they played my favorite salsa songs. Definitely coming back soon.
Wow! 🤩 I am so happy that I made the choice to come here!! I was lt down elsewhere and I decided to try the chaulafan and it was perfect! I tried the mini bolones and their happy hour was a first! It starts at 3 so their drinks are 3 and. At 4 it’s 4 dollars and so forth… the owner took care of us and was super friendly!!! Our server Paola, such a sweet and attentive person. I told her my concerns from a previous experience and she made sure to guide me as best as possible and I am so gray she did because everything was perfect 👌 I will come back for sure! If u want to try Ecuadorian food look no further! The aesthetics from the venue to the menus it’ll definitely take you to Ecuador for a bit! Enjoy!!!
