    Great place to try some traditional dishes the Lojaño way. We ordered tamales, humitas, quimbolito, and tigrillos and it looked ridiculous with sola y plates, but we finished it all. I would eat it all again and I particularly enjoyed the tigrillo as I had never had that before, it’s chicharrón with eggs and plátanos, scrambled and fried. If you’re touring through Loja I’d highly recommend dropping in here for breakfast, lunch or dinner to have some affordable and tasty Ecuadorian food. The juices were also quite good, which has not been the case throughout Loja so far.

    Tried our first Tamal Lojano for breakfast. Reminded me more of a humita with meat filling than a tamal. The mote con chicharrón with egg was a better choice. Excellent selection of juice. Coffee a little on the weak side but good quality.

    Good food at a reasonable price, served promptly. I went in on a weekday around 1:30 PM on two separate occasions. I tried the chicken and pork tamales one day, and just a chicken empanada the second day, when I was not so hungry. The tamales were fresh and hot, and a really good value, and the empanada was even better, for a little more money. If I lived in Loja I would be a regular here.
