El Rincon QuitenoI discovered this little Ecuadorean restaurant by chance as I happen to live a few seconds from Holloway Road tube station. Its the sort of place you could walk by without noticing (Holloway Road is full of take-aways and dives) but I am so glad I popped in one day.

This little Ecuadorean restaurant servs genuine South American fare of a high standard, with food that tastes home-cooked because it really is home-cooked. The steaks are always cooked as you want them, with the traditional plantain and refried beans on the side. All the famous meat dishes of Ecuador are on the menu and I have tried them all and can guarantee you won't be disappointed.

George and his father run the place with a hospitality classic of South America, making sure you have fun and feel like you are at home (they know me by my name and welcome me and any of my guests as if we were family!)When you walk in you feel like you are stepping into South America!

Ecuadorean beers are topped up and the food comes in good time, but you never feel rushed. They really want you to enjoy the experience of their cosy restuarant at your leisure.

Its just 2 mins from Holoway Road tube, turn right at the rube station and wlak up Holloway Road, you can't miss it on your right! I hope you enjoy the experience as much as I do!]]> Thu, 06 Dec 2007 09:06:08 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1823771/el-rincon-quiteno2130306121 mareeni cosy top food proper food quiet & relaxed quick bite lively cultured 51.551598 -0.11095
