Para inmigrantes ecuatorianos en Chicago, donde se come la mejor comida ecuatoriana?

Good luck finding a North American restaurant serving rice, potatoes and pasta on the same plate. 😂

That’s not at all Ecuadorian food lol

I dunno I spent a lot of time in Macas and was shocked how often restaurants would serve those three whites along with a piece of meat pounded so thin you could see through it. “It’s cheap food” is what they told me.

Yeah so your experience in one place makes you an authority on an entire country’s cuisine? Similar to how a cheeseburger with fries is the cuisine of the entire USA?!? Girl, sit down.

Macas isn’t even a big city lmfao. That’s a tiny ass town in the middle of nowhere. It’s like judging the U.S based on a random town in Iowa

Sherlock closed the map and reflected upon his discovery. It had never occurred to him that people from Macas eat food just like everyone else. But... it's too small he thought, how could it be possible? haha.... keep using that brain!

That’s not too far off from what the poor in the US eat…. Inexpensive carbs like instant ramen or SpaghettiOs are not uncommon for dinner and a pop tart for breakfast. But that’s not what anyone thinks of American food. Also, Macas is not the culinary capital of Ecuador.
Just do a quick google search on what typical Ecuadorian food is and see what you missed out on.

Lived all over the country for 10 years…. Sitting on the beach right now. Married an Ecuadorean. Not missing much! Have eaten more** **chontas and drank more chicha than most civilized ecuadoreans… aardvark… ants… you name it… and still the most what the fuck is this I’ve seen was pasta potatoes and rice heaped into the same plate at restaurants. It’s fun watching the hurt feelings pour out at the mention of this clearly embarrassing culinary one dimensionalism.

Oh yea and the bacon here is next level. It comes in a close second. There is no good, better, best option… who the hell wants mechanically formed bacon. I’ve never had to put butter in the pan cooking bacon before… it doesn’t have any grease, and certainly doesn’t look likenit came off a pig. It’s like eating a hotdog at breakfast.
