"The owners of Rincón Melania have been serving Ecuadorian food in Queens for several decades now, and it shows. Their previous restaurant, Rincón Latino, closed in 2011, but now you can eat their chaulafan, guatita, and carne asada in a homey space on Queens Boulevard in Long Island City. Get some salchipapas for the table, order the bandeja with a llapingacho on the side, and be sure to try the ceviche. It’s some of the best in NYC." - Bryan Kim
