Wonderful festive atmosphere! Long wait on weekends, BUT the service is speedy once you get seated. Try the fruit drinks with milk -- makes for an incredible milk shake. Be daring and try a fruit you have never heard of! The steaks are wonderfully marinated. Definitely eat the steaks with the relish and salsa provided, as they compliment the spices in the meat. Oo! You cannot miss the empanadas. My Ecuadorian friend who went with me told me that empanadas are made differently in different countries/regions. This has to be favorite to date! The essense of the empanda, in my humble opinion, is in the pastry. Here, the pastry is not the typical flakey tasteless wrapping. Instead, the pastry has a wonderful, slightly chewy texture that really envelop your palette and give your teeth something to sink into!
