"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, 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 the fried fish dishes. Everything here tastes like a homemade meal in a space that 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. " - mariana trabanino

"As you’ve probably deduced from its name, Mi Lindo Ecuador is an Ecuadorian restaurant.

Mi Lindo Ecuador is a hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious—the Seafood Rice was packed with flavor, and the “Bandera” plate was a perfect combination of Ecuadorian goodness. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the live entertainment made the experience even better. The musician had an amazing voice and played the guitar beautifully. On top of that, their handmade juices were so fresh and refreshing. If you’re looking for authentic Ecuadorian cuisine with a great vibe, this is the place to be! Highly recommend!

Do not waste your money on this unpleasant restaurant. Food tastes sour, meat is not tender at all, flavors tasted like leftovers. Check some of the pictures, not tasty at all. No pierda su dinero alli..!!!

A must-visit spot in Miami for Ecuadorian food! I went with my family from Ecuador, and they were amazed by the authentic flavors. We loved the food, and the waitress was incredibly friendly. The restaurant has a very casual and welcoming vibe, and the prices are reasonable. Plus, there’s free parking, which is super convenient. We had the breakfast combo (fried eggs, steak or fish, and bolón), and everything was fantastic. The food was fresh, and the bolón was the best I’ve had so far! If you’re a fan of strong coffee, you have to try their black coffee. The naranjilla juice is also a must—it’s so refreshing!

My Ecuadorian friend brought me here; its one of those hole in the wall places that had really tasty humble food. I had an encebollado which is a fish soup (mine was fish and shrimp) it was super delicious and tasty. This place is definitely worth a try !

Grate place to eat. The service was outstanding as soon as we entered we were greeted and asked to pick our own seats. The appetizer came out before the meal and was hot. Our main course was grate trying things that we never had. I recommend the Sango De camarón and the bolon mixto

Really good Ecuadorian food, my favorite was the Mix Bolon I truly recommend it, soft blended green plantain, la Cazuela shrimps and fish, tremendously good. And I bought the Humitas for home delicious. Highly recommend it especially if you are Ecuadorian.

If you enjoy typical food from Ecuador then this is the place for you. Everything that I have ordered here is just the same way that I remember from my childhood in Guayaquil Ecuador. The food is delicious, the staff is very friendly and the place is small but comfortable.

This has to be the absolutely worst restaurant in Miami. Avoid at all costs. It took them 1 hour 45 minutes just to get some rice and chicken. They were locking the door with a piece of wood as to not let people in because they were so slow.

A suprising little jewel I found while looking a round for a place to eat while on a lay over. The staff here understands some English so I had yo resort to some pointing and charades but the food was just oh so worth it, being both very affordable for the amount and quality I received and being just so delicious. I've never had Ecuadorian food before but if its all like this then I'm a fan! Though I do have to pint out that it seems like they add gratuity automatically to the bill, so be on the look out for that if you don't want to tip twice.

Pésimo encebollado. Tenía sabor a condimentos caseros, la cebolla mal cortada, me agregaron tomate y no tenía hierbita. La yuca pegajosa y mala. Un completo desastre.

Onesha L.

Yelp
Food: At a table of five, the levels of satisfaction leaned more towards middle. We all had different dishes and while they were all presented beautifully, the quality and taste were off for few. I had had grilled chicken with rice and plantains which was fantastic. The seafood ceviche was good, the stewed goat dish was also good however the grilled steak was not at all appealing. I would suggest going just because Ecuadorian food is not super common and it's worth a try. Service: Service was okay, not wonderful, but okay.

Karina L.

Yelp
I like the Ecuadorian food in this places, the encebollado de pescado is delicious, the exact amount of yuca and onion. Served hot and fresh. The service is prompt, and our waitress was very for friendly. The only think o don't like is the noise, epithet the hace the music to loud or a karaoke space for others to sing and it's todo loud.

I come here for the soup, bola verde. Delicious ! Their ceviche is good as well. Place can use some updating.

The food was outstanding we enjoyed every bit of it. As soon as we opened the door we were greater and told to pick our seat. The menue was explained and best dishes recommended. As far as the ambiance goes it was relaxing and pleasant. Other bad reviews on yelp are incorrect I have been coming to this restaurant for years food and service has been consistent. I do recommend this restaurant to everyone.

As an Ecuadorian, this place is the best Ecuadorian restaurant in South Florida! Este lugar es lo maximo. La comida es totalmente authentic and delicious. Small staff but they are quick and attentive to it all! The parking is assigned to their location and the place itself is pretty comfy. I also had the Cazuela which was not pictured because i devoured it!

I love me the food of my people, but I was sadly disappointed in not only that quality of the food, but also the service. Apparently they weren't sure if they would open, but they did for New Year's Day. The staff was rude and also looked overwhelmed but still we waited forever for our drinks, which included a cup of water. Also everything except for one plate was either cold, which makes me believe they took it out of the fridge and nuked it, or completely not cooked. For our main entrees half the table had to wait an additional 25 mins, basically everyone else was done with their meal, by the time we got our plates. It's almost as if they forgot about us. Overall I was disappointed and don't think I'd want to go back.

Alejandra S.

Yelp
Bad service, bad food, bad ambiance. This place used to be decent before COVID. The shrimp ceviche is nothing like the Ecuadorian kind. This ceviche was made with a weird, oily purple juice. The sopa de bola had a piece of corn that was rotten. The manager or owner did not even apologize, all he said was "oh yea, they told me" and walked away. I will never come back again. This gives a bad name to Ecuadorian food. If people only knew how delightful Ecuadorian food truly is, but you will not get that here. Also, they include mandatory 15% service charge and they charge for to go containers. Insulting experience.

An excellent restaurant in Miami. Great.!!! The food was exquisite. These people do know the flavor of Ecuador. Congratulations and I recommend them 100 percent.

Love coming here for delicious and typical Ecuadorian food! From the moment you walk in you feel like family. You are seated right away and given time to make your decision from many options. If you are not sure of what you are ordering you can point and choose from the wall. Don't let the strip mall location fool you . It is as close to homemade great tasting food you will get!

Yelp
The food was ok but terribly overpriced and the service was horrible. I asked for two Glasses of water and she brought bottled water! We ordered two dishes and they were out of it. It's a mom and pop's restaurant but in Miami there are so many Latin restaurants that appreciate your business! Next time I will go to another one!

Yelp
Food is actually quite good at this location but the service is incredibly slow. I ordered takeout, arrive 25 minutes later and my food still was not ready. I waited another 20 minutes and it still was not ready, it took almost an hour and a half to order one plate. If you're not in a rush this is a place to go to because the food is good otherwise skip it.

Tatiana C.

Yelp
Small place, not to fancy BUT the fiid it's amazing. Ecuadorian food , orininal dishes. They have pictures of all the dishes in the wall. If you like ceviche and want to try something amazing and diffeent , try the Crab & Shrimp ceviche.

Yelp
The few times I have eaten here the service and food was great. Excellent quality and the flavor excellent My favorite dish is the cazuela mixto. The Moro and skirt steak was delicious. The deep fried breaded corvina was also delicious. For now the plates I have tasted have been excellent. Although, I haven't tried the encebollado yet!

The food was delicious! My husband loved the carne asada. We shared a bolon and was amazing! I had the arroz Marino which was very good. We will definitely be coming back

We traveled from Coral Springs to bring my dad to have some Ecuadorian cuisine and because there are few to be found we traveled 40 mins to this location. It wasn't as busy when we arrived but I was not very pleased with the table service/ customer service. It was slow to get an order in and then we never got one of our side items so we had to cancel it. Shame because there aren't many Ecuadorian places but this one lacked warmth and attention. Our waiter was a young kid and so was another waitress. Never came by to ask if we needed anything and check on us. The food was alright but nothing amazing- sorry

Sandra B.

Yelp
I was not familiar with the food from Ecuador, but after the horrible experience that my family and I had at "Mi lindo Ecuador" I really don't want to give it a try again, service was horrible, the food was imposible to eat because it was excessive salty, and as if all this were not enough in this pandemic situation we are living in, the place was dirty and even the iron pan the use to serve the soups looked like they have never cleaned it up. Very upset to waste my money in a place like this.

Terrible!!!!!! Terrible service and the food was not worth it!!! We drove an hour and half to eat Ecuadorian food, we ordered the caldo de salchicha and not only did they took forever to bring it out but once they did it was so watery and almost no salchicha, obviously they had ran out but still wanted to make a sale. I then ordered a plate of salchicha seca and instead of the lady being HONEST she brought me a plate with almost nothing on it and I still had to pay full price for it!! Instead of her telling us she didn't have any more she served me a plate full of plantains! What bothered me the most was the lady's attitude, she was sooo rude! We had ordered a salchi-papa and when they brought it out it had literally 5 French fries on it and when I told her about it she was like oh that's because we don't have any potatoes left, so I said then I don't think it's fair we pay full price for this, and she literally grabbed the plate and left mad!!! Instead of offering us a discount or something, I'm not exaggerating when I say there was literally 5 French fries on the plate!!! It was not worth it! Very inconsistent with their food and the service was terrible! Will never go there again!!!

Thanks Miami yelp! For helping this 1/2 Ecuadorian LA girl find this amazing Ecuadorian restaurant in Miami! The only thing that I know about Doral, is the fancy Doral country club and golf course. So when my GPS (Charlie) tells me to turn into a medical plaza, I think that he is off his rocker. "Charlie no!" says I in frustration. But sure enough, he was right. Again. You would never expect to find a great restaurant like this one, turning out savory, from-scratch Ecuadorian food here! Fast food-casual. Free mini-mall lot parking. I walk in standing on my tippy toes in excitement to try a new Ecuadorian restaurant. The Ecuadorian flag is everywhere. Ecuadorian soccer jerseys and kitchy Ecuadorian chotchkies are available for sale at the resister. The place is PACKED on the weekend. Filled up. Every table has a family. All smiling. How did they find this place?!! Do they also have a Charlie?!! Have they also made friends with the kind folks at Miami yelp who graciously steered them here?!! Who are all these people who found this gem, in the middle of nowhere, in the back of a medical plaza, on a street that you would never drive down. The only business totally invisible to you even if you were driving by. Even if you were in the plaza for other reasons, you would still probably miss this place. So how in the hell is it packed with people?!! And why are there only three yelp reviews?!! Ecuadorians, and all my Latin brothers and sisters, get on yelp! It is super fun! You are missing out! Plus, I am taking away all of the first-to-reviews from you. Like candy from a baby. Believe the hype on this one friends. I am an now an addict when it comes to writing reviews! You can be one too. Addicted to the narcotic pipe that is yelping. The walls are filled up with colorful pictures of the dishes served here along with specials and signs printed up via fliers, all strewn about. I came out with a fellow Ecuadorian. A local yelper who had not a Charlie nor the brilliance (no offense girl) *pats self on back* to seek out yelp's help for Ecuadorian restaurant advice. We are giggling like school girls, wanting to try everything. Everything sounds good on the HUGE menu of comidas tipicas Ecuatorianas. Traditional Ecuadorian food. -Written in and English and Spanish. Drinks. My friend ordered a naranjilla juice. They offer to mix your fruit juice with either milk or water here. She tried the milk. Naranjilla is a fragrant, tart, refreshing fruit that I do not imagine mixing perfectly with milk. It did not. Order this one with water friends. I ordered maracuya juice. (Passion fruit) The sexiest of all fruit, passion fruit smells like tropical perfume. It is very tart and exotic. (five stars) Much to my chagrin they were out of humitas (busy weekend!) so we ordered a bolon mixto and an empanada verde. I have read about the bolon many times in my favorite cook book in the world: "The South American Table" -Written by a woman, native to Ecuador, with beautiful stories woven throughout the book, alongside the tastes, travels and recipes of all of South America. I treasure this book. (most recipes are gluten free!) The bolon mixto is a ball of green plantain with stringy white cheese and chicharron in the middle. My friend did not love this dish. So I snagged the majority of it in trade for the majority of the empananda verde. My first bolon outside of Ecuador. Crunchy green plantain chunks with bubbling cheese center and the occasional extra crunch of extraordinary chicharron. (pork rinds) The Bolon mixto is not for vegetarians. The empanada verde (green plantain empanada) was filled with stringy white cheese, perfectly light and crispy on the outside. (five stars) In Central and South America empanadas are made with a variety of shells. Many, like the empanada verde, are wheat-free and gluten-free. For an entree we split the fritada. Garlic pork, sweet plantains, Andean popcorn, Andean corn and salad. I love this dish. This dish is like steak and potatoes to Americans. The pork was salty, sweet, and succulent. Carmel flavored , with onion, garlic and cumin. I do not love cumin, but it was neat to see a new spin on the classic Ecuadorian dish. The salad was lemony, with red onion and cilantro. The plantains were enormous, tangy and sweet. The Andean popcorn (choclo) was crunchy and savory. Like gluten free croutons! They soak up the tart lemon from the salad and taste even better. What a treat to find this place. My new favorite Ecuadorian restaurant in Miami! It had once been Barzola, now taken down a notch to pay homage to my new favorite. Thanks again Miami yelp!

Love, love, love this place! Been coming here for over 15 years. As mentioned...it is definitely nothing fancy; however, if you want good, authentic food with healthy portions & in a family-friendly environment, you can't go wrong!

I ordered bolones for my no Ecuadorian coworkers. Was a shame! Please see the pictures. No words. Chupe mixto was good but I found only 1 shrimp. Fritada was good. Ordene boloñés para que prueben mis compañeros de trabajo de otras nacionalidades y quedé pésimo porque esos bolones estaban terribles de solo verlos en una funda de plástico llena de aceite y sin forma. Desabridos. El chupe estaba bien pero era mixto y tenía bastante pescado pero 1 camarón. La fritada estaba bien.

Came here after I saw a friends post. My order was a the seafood soup with a side order of tostones, soup was tasty had mostly fish chunks and tostones were just right. My friend ordered the marisco and rice that also came out hot and fresh. was delicious and came out hot and fresh, had great creamy taste.

Jenny M.

Yelp
The food here is delicious and at the right price. I had the yapingacho which contains the following: 1hotdog, 1suasage, 2 pieces of pork, 2 fried maduros, 2 potatos covered with a peanut sauce and pieces of white cheese on top, and 1 fried egg. My husband had el caldo de mariscos which literally has a bit of all kinds of sea foods. The portions are pretty big especially their caldos. Oh and we also ate la empanada verde, yummy yummy. On ever table they have a small cup with a very spicy sauce, but it gives each meal a good kick. My ONLY complaint is that they try to charge you for water, instead of serving you a cup of water they will try to give you a bottle of water which they charge for. BUT its so worth going to Mi Lindo Ecuador, its a very small place but so worth it.

Yelp
Places like this one, is what I LOVE about Miami. Owners seem to be an older couple. The lady works in the kitchen. The food is simple, but SUPER FRESH & TASTY!!!! What an experience. Lunch for 3, drinks, appetizers, entrees and desert was about $60. Staff is very friendly. Great place. Check out ma pics! Special of the day was sancocho de pescado which was different & delicious. The ceviche was different in that it also had crab meat, yum! The empanadas are also different to what one might expect. The empanada is made of green plantain masa, filled with melted cheese. The bolon is like a ball of mofongo, but it had cheese mixed in. This may sound strange, but it tastes oh so good!

Delicious food. Ecuadorean food gets very little recognition in the culinary world, but truth be told the food is amazing. Ecuadorean food is similar to Peruvian food and share similarities to other South American countries, most of their dishes are sea food based, Ecuador is a costal country with lots of sea food and you will find lots of sea food dishes on the menu. You must try the encebollado de Pescado, this is my favorite dish. I also recommend ordering the "Quaker", it is an oatmeal based drink with orange juice, apples and cinnamon, the drink is served cold but can also be served hot. I also recommend the "Bolon", they offer it with Chicarron, cheese or both. Make sure to try their Soda, called "Tropical" & "Manzana". Delicious. Their food is very unique to other "Spanish" style dishes, they offer more then your typical rice and beans. Their service is friendly, the restaurants atmosphere is kind of quite, I wish they played some music to add some vibes to the place. Authentic food, I recommend.

I don't know what happen with this place, back in the days this place used to be so good with a really good food. First El Bolon they make it like whatever not the way its has to like an Ecuadorian Style, it was so grease . Its sad how this place change.

This is my first Ecuadorian restaurant in Miami. Came here for lunch, very clean. Too a pick in the kitchen, looked clean. My order, naranjilla juice, bolon de verde, pescado a la plancha with patacón served with salad salad and patacon. Very nice restaurant. . Good food

Maria A.

Yelp
Great Ecuadorian food. It was empty for lunch. We ordered Caldo de bolas, Caldo de salchichas y sango de camaron. Of course it didn't have my mom's flavor but it was really good. Big portions too. If you are looking for good old Ecuadorian cuisine in the doral/Miami area you should try them out.

Ordered a bunch of food for my family of 6, told them my husband was allergic to shrimp so he ordered a fish cazuela. Four bites in, he finds a SHRIMP in it! He could've DIED. They were like, "How did that get in there? Sorry." That's it. Sorry. They came to tell us the cazuela would not be added to our tab as if they were doing us a favor. OF COURSE we're not going to pay for the food he can't eat due to your grave error. Will never come back.

We came from Chicago and searched for authentic Ecuadorian food. The food was great but they could use better service. The servers weren't the best. They weren't very attentive. The bollo here was AWESOME!

Fist time I was in this place, was in 2003. Being married to an Ecuadorian girl, and have been in Ecuador many times and have been at her family house often, the food was at best disappointing. Fast forward 13 years, I started working on the same area again and I am always looking for good Ecuadorian food and came up with this place yet again and shame on me for not not remembering why I had not gone back for all these years. The shrimp ceviche was not cold at all, room temperature and totally blend. The seafood rice was horrible. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. There ain't going to be a third time.

Ecuadorian dinner tables are blessed with some of the finest ingredients in South America; a testament to the country's fertile soil, varied typography and wildly different climates. To get a chance to try Ecuadorian food in Miami is one that should not be missed. I had the opportunity to visit an Ecuadorian restaurant called "Mi Lindo Ecuador," which is located in Doral, Florida. In this restaurant, you can spend quality time with your family, and besides that you will find all the delicious and unique Ecuadorian dishes and beverages. The parking is readily accessible; you can park at any time with no problem. Once I get in, I find a casual restaurant, with the Ecuadorian Flag in one of the corners and the menu in one of the restaurant walls. It is 1: 00 pm and I am with my family. The owner of the place tells us that we have to wait twenty minutes to get a table. The restaurant was really packed. We have to wait standing in a corner of the restaurant until the table is ready. Twenty minutes pass. We finally get a table. The waitress hands us the menu. After 5 minutes, in a really friendly way, she asks us if we are ready to order, and we say yes. Since we wait for so long, we could think about what we want to have. At "Mi Lindo Ecuador", they offer a friendly and efficient customer service. In the case of the food, it is fresh out of the kitchen, they bring the plates out quickly. Something I like so much about this restaurant is that anytime we had a question about the food or their services in general, the waitress and even the manager, who come to say hi and to see how everything is going, answered in a professional and friendly way. The staff is very familiar with Ecuadorian cuisine, even though not all of them are Ecuadorian. I order Yapingacho. This dish includes eggs, potato omelet with peanut butter on the top, plantains, lettuce, meat, and rice on a different plate. Accompanying the main course, I asked for an Ecuadorian soda called Tropical. The food tastes fresh; the potato omelet is soft, crunchy, and not oily at all. Let me tell you that Yapingacho is my favorite Ecuadorian Food. The food presentation at "Mi Lindo Ecuador" is good enough, but I have definitely seen other places where they take more care in what the dish looks like. Pueblito Viejo, a Colombian restaurant, is a restaurant that despite their price range, they put their effort when it comes to the appearance of their dishes. While I am eating this delicious dish, I definitely felt like I was in Ecuador eating in my aunt's house. Everything is well cooked and mouth-watering. Talking about the price range of this plate, I personally think that the price for this plate, $10, is reasonable since it has some many ingredients and it is really hard to make. Overall, the prices are a little high. In other examples we have the Ceviche Cuadruple cost $19, Ensalada de Camarones $12, Guatita con Arroz $8, Cazuela Marinera $16.50. I got a really good impression on my first time going to this Ecuadorian Restaurant. The service was great, the food was delicious, they were really nice with my family and me. It felt like we were in our country again. I will go back to try more dishes, and see if my feelings about this restaurant stay the same. Whether you are Ecuadorian, or from another country but you want to try our traditional food, do not hesitate and visit "Mi Lindo Ecuador."

The server has a horrible attitude, from answering questions and to explain menu. The service was worse then horrible. I love my Ecuadorian food but for sure I will never go back to this place. Food I give a 3

Melissa K.

Yelp
Unfortunately they play with prices. The online menu says one price and the pictures attached on yelp tell another price. Even on the phone it's another price. And by the end of the meal the check will have a higher price for the price of one plate. I think they fluctuate the price whenever they want to see if they can get more money from a customer. Not cool at all. For this reason I can't recommend it to anyone.

Pam L.

Yelp
I had lunch with my family in the afternoon. The food was severed hot and fresh. My son ate the Humita which he said was delicious. He didn't like the Seco de Chivo. I ate the Guatita: it was good, served with sweet platains and yellow rice. My husband ate steak, rice and Menestra (lentils): he said the lentils were good, though tasted different from how my mom prepares it. He found tasty yet hot, the Salsa they offer on the table to accent the food. The cold Tropical soda was perfect! Overall, it's not my mom's delicious cooking, but good.

Emme R.

Yelp
My dinner from this establishment was very depressing. This restaurant is only 1 of 2 that I know that serve Ecusdorian food in all of Miami. I ordered a Fish sango with a side of rice. It was super salty and runny. Actually it was watery not runny. Sango should have a think creamy consistency. It should not be soupy. I wish I could have forgiven the consistency with its taste, but the taste failed as well. It was not offensive but way too salty. The side of rice was at least two days old. It was dry and hard and grainy. I eat out a lot and this has to be one of the most upsetting meals I've had on a really long time.

Cas M.

Yelp
I was first brought to this place four years ago by my Ecuadorian boyfriend, and quickly realized why this is his favorite restaurant; yes, it reminds him of his time in Guayaquil, but, more than that: the food is consistently Good. The wait staff is always kind and attentive, as are the owners. I have introduced others to this restaurant, including my Cuban parents, who are now regulars. Plate to try your first time: La Bandera.

Carlos R.

Yelp
I was totally disappointed with the food and the response to my complain about how bad the food was. They clearly do. It use good products. The food was terrible. Ecuadorian food could be delicious but this one had. no flabor and left an after taste in my mouth. The waiter told me that everyone has different taste buds and that the other patrons like it. There was only one other table with people the whole afternoon I really hope they can, markedly, improve their food, attitude and decor.

I was pretty excited to eat here as I haven't been able to find any Ecuadorian Restaurants in Tampa so finding one in South Florida was a big deal. The restaurant is decent sized and the staff are friendly. They have flat screen tv's on the walls and have Latin music playing in the background. They have a decent menu and the prices seem reasonable. I wanted a batido of passion fruit/ maracuyá but they were all out, strike one. I ordered the Ecuadorian Flag which was pretty good, but not spectacular or great. It was a pretty good experience except for the fact that they automatically add gratuity to your check. I understand adding gratuity to large parties but I was a party of one. I'm not a fan of having anything being forced upon me so they lose points for this. I always tip anyway but their forced tip resulted in me just leaving the tip as what they already added to my check instead of the larger tip I would've left. Not sure if I would return, I've had better tasting food elsewhere.

My favorite place to eat. My family is Ecuadorian and we love eating here. On the weekends they make the special soups/dishes they normally dont offer during the week but get there early because they run out quick. The service is always amazing and they have become like extended family to us. As one of the only (if not very few) ecuadorian restaurants I will always recommend this place! My grandmother (RIP) was friends with the owner and his wife when they were at the old location. Even 12 years after her passing they are still so kind to us. If you've never had this type of food before, I def recommend. And come with a few friends/family so you can order and try multiple things. My favorite is the humita de sal, caldo de bola and a tropical (:

This little hole in the wall takes me to Ecuador every time. You have to pretend you're there. Therefore, the service will be slow every time. However, the food will be amazing every time! Every time I travel to Ecuador I comeback and in those weeks I crave some typical Ecuadorian food. They're the place in Miami. Real typical Ecuadorian food makes you feel like you're there.
