Achiote - Quito

Achiote Ecuador-Cuisine is an Ecuadorian restaurant located a few blocks away from the popular Seal Square. The dishes here maintain a traditional Ecuadorian touch with a hint of gourmet flair. What sets this restaurant apart is their unique menu offerings, such as Ecuadorian pasta with vegetables or bolognese. The concept of the restaurant revolves around combining indigenous ingredients to create distinct flavors and textures for the visitor's palate, including the spiciness of aji, yuca, a variety of soups, and meats like dried chivo. While the beer selection is limited to Club Pilsen, Black National, and Heineken, we believe that expanding the options would enhance the overall dining experience.
