El Barquito Restaurant

Ordered lunch here and disappointed because we never have a problem when we order in the restaurant. Today we ordered caldo de bola with an extra bola on the side. We bring the food home, and it was only one in the container. I offered to pick it up and I’m not sure who handed me the extra bola, but really? No accommodations for the inconvenience? Other restaurants apologize and give something for something they did wrong. Geez, here I was being rushed out. All I got was “Have a nice day” wow! Really!? Above all, we’re all timers for the food here. Sorry but this upset me. My family could order and get their food from here but it left me a bad taste and I will not order or even eat at the restaurant. And it’s sad because she, whoever was giving me the food, didn’t believe that one bola was

I got the Bandera Ceviche had no lime, and it was completely dry making it an onion and shrimp salad with no dressing Guatita was prepared well but missing flavor very bland I don't even want to bring up the chivo/stewed goat. It was the hardest and dryest meat I've had in a long time. Overall if you love Ecuadorian food, there's better places that will satisfy you better. Fogon and Moreno restaurants i can say provide better tasting food.

I got takeout of caldo de bolla, and it was disgustingly unappetizing! Apologies for the graphic description, but it genuinely resembled vomit. Plus, they're outrageously expensive. Save yourself the hassle and make the trip to Hackensack, where you'll discover more authentic Ecuadorian flavors, including caldo de bolla for just $10, rice included.

First time here since I started a job around this place. Had no other choice since they were only ones closer. They actually heat up what you ask for. For example the tamales. Been made since who knows how long and just sits in their fridge right in your face when you come in...in the MICROWAVE which is what I dislike. I don't even use it at home. The only fresh item would be their lunches I'm guessing. And lunches no flavor whatsoever

I'm Ecuadorian, ordered 3 orders of caldo de bola! Server has the nerve to serve me 3 caldos 1 with no bola. Long story short, the bola was smaller than a small tennis ball. Food has no flavor and a small piece of beef. Will never order there again.
