¡Para Comer! How to Order Food in Ecuador Like a Pro

Ecuadorian cuisine varies from coast to mountains. Begin with “Quisiera ordenar…” (I’d like to order…). Must-try dishes include ceviche (seafood in citrus) and locro de papa (potato soup). For soup toppings, say “Con ají” for hot sauce or “Con aguacate” for avocado. Try chicha, a traditional fermented drink. “Corvina” refers to sea bass, a popular fish. Tipping is usually included as “servicio”. “La cuenta, por favor” gets you the bill. Be adventurous and try cuy (guinea pig) if you dare!
