El Guayaquileno

"This bright blue truck named after Ecuador’s great seaside port parked just off Roosevelt Avenue is a rolling picanteria, a lunch wagon with all-in meals and soups perfect for your noon or afternoon repast. Some of the food sold here isn’t generally available at the Ecuadorian restaurants that line Roosevelt Avenue, including a wonderful blood sausage soup (“caldo de salsicha”)" - Robert Sietsema

"Here are two Jackson Heights rules to live by: always bring an extra tote for impromptu produce pickups, and always say yes when the person on the El Guayaquileño truck asks if you want lemon juice in your ceviche. This Ecuadorian food truck is just two blocks north of Birria-Landia on 80th & Roosevelt Avenue, and serves some of our favorite fish and shrimp ceviches anywhere in the city. We recommend coming with a friend and ordering both, which gets you two small styrofoam bowls filled to the brim with lots of cilantro, onion, and cancha. But no matter what, you should always save room for a creamy cup of jugo de coco with lots of natural sweetness to help balance out the acidity." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, carlo mantuano
