Ricuras Ecuadorian Bakery - BRONX

I've never tried Ecuadorian cuisine before, but it was absolutely delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly as well!

I discovered this hidden gem a few days ago and decided to try the Bolon de Mixto and the empanada de verde. I'm so grateful I went because the food was incredible, and the service was excellent as well.

--- Be sure to check out my car dining tip at the end! I stumbled upon this local Ecuadorian restaurant late in the day when I hadn’t eaten yet, and I’m glad I did. The place had a few tables, but it was primarily set up for takeout and delivery. The service was excellent, and they recommended an Ecuadorian soda called Tropical, which I found to be pleasantly light and not overly sweet—similar to the Ecuadorian version of Pepsi. The chicken was thin, juicy, and flavorful, while the lentil beans were surprisingly delicious, offering a nice change from the usual types of beans. The sauces were good as well, but if you're sensitive to spice, be cautious with the green sauce; I personally enjoyed it a lot. I did find the chicken a bit salty, so if that’s a concern for you, be sure to request less salt. TIP: I used my $2.79 steering wheel tray, which I bought on AlibabaExpress, making it easy to eat clean in the car for just $10 with shipping. --- Let me know if you need any more modifications!

I love the bolon and encebollado here, as well as the daily specials—they're all so tasty and delicious! I really hope they find a way to use a delivery app like Uber Eats or Seamless because they could be missing out on a lot of business. I wish I could order through these apps since I live a bit far away and only have time to visit when I can. Otherwise, I tend to choose something closer.

I only go to the restaurant if I have time; otherwise, I opt for places that are closer.
