El Rincon Del Pirata - Cuenca

Beautiful authentic Ecuadorian cuisine. Had the beer-dried chicken (acker!), which came with the best crispy pommes mixed with sauteed vegetables. The fries in the chicken sauce were so good. Very good service.

WOW! Food was the best we had in Ecuador, lovely atmosphere and terrace and great service! Very attentive as well: they offer passion fruit liquor as a gift after dinner!

A very pleasant space. Wonderfully presented dishes. Wait staff very helpful.

Very nice atmosphere, authentic and affordable food and friendly staff. Only issue was that they tempted our group with a range of local craft beer only to tell us a few minutes later that they didn't have any cold ones!

The place is really cute and cozy. I was surprised at the small dinner menu as we didn't find any of the things other reviewers raved about. We went with traditional dishes (mine chicken and his pork), which were just okay. The dish I wanted wasn't available, so the waiter suggested the special. It was fine--chicken on the bone in a garlic sauce--but nothing I'd rave about or try again. All in all, service saved the day, so to speak. We may try El Maiz again sometime.
