"As you’ve probably deduced from its name, Mi Lindo Ecuador is an Ecuadorian restaurant. This Doral spot fills up on weekends with regulars looking to have big portions of classic Ecuadorian soups and fried fish. To start, get a bolon (a green plantain ball), which tastes like the offspring of fried plantain and cheesy mashed potatoes. It’s a great starter that pairs well with their encebollado, shrimp ceviche, or one of their fried fish dishes. Everything here tastes like a homemade meal and the space feels like an aunt’s living room. Save this spot for when you get the spontaneous urge to have a big bowl of fish stew in a place that won’t care if you show up in pajamas. photo credit: CLEVELAND JENNINGS / @EATTHECANVASLLC" - Mariana Trabanino
