text: Be sure to put this one on your \"must try\" list if you are a fan of authentic ethnic food! \n\nMenu is extensive with chiefly Ecuadorian, Peruvian, and Colombian dishes. Even the drink and dessert menu boasts authentic dishes you will not find just anywhere. \n\nPortions were generous, food was served hot, and the presentation of the serving made me feel like I was away on a brief vacation! \n\nOur server appeared to be the owner. He was genuinely friendly as well as attentive. \n\nWait time for the meal was under 30 minutes, which is what I would reasonably expect for a homestyle restaurant with good food made to order. \n\nIf you are looking for an appetizer, I recommend pork empanadas. They are reminiscent of the meat pies you will find throughout many countries in Latin America. \n\nMeats are well represented on the menu. You will find beef, chicken, pork, goat, fish, and shrimp dishes to suit most tastes. Seasoning is just right, and the homemade salsa was served on the side of my entree in a little ceramic cup, which was tasty and spicy enough to satisfy my craving for heat. \n\nThe tamales as well as the fish are steamed in a banana leaf (typical of Central and South America). The flavor the banana leaf lends to the steamed dish is uniquely different (in case you are not familiar, the banana leaf is not edible). \n\nMost dishes are served with fried plantains, which are out of this world! \n\nDinner prices are reasonable and range from $6.99 to $11.89 per entree. \n\nThe restaurant is very small and the decor is simple and native of the region of cuisine, which adds to the true feel of the experience. \n\nMy gut reaction is to keep returning and eventually try everything on the menu. Our party had the same exact reaction as the previous reviewer as we walked out of the restaurant. \"How does anybody stop at the Taco Bell across the parking lot?\"
