OKEY Sandwiches and Grill

"Dekalb Market Hall is one of the best and most interesting food halls in the city (a distinction that actually means something nowadays), and Okey Ecuadorian Food is one big reason why. Their menu is succinct, but it covers a bunch of classics, like encebollado, ceviche, and crispy fried carne apanada. Focus on the meats, like the ribs that come doused in a sticky sweet sauce, and well-seasoned steak served with fries, rice, salad, and a little grilled sausage." - Bryan Kim

"Hop onto the escalator that descends into Dekalb Market Hall, and you’ll find yourself in an overstimulating food court with back-to-back stalls. There are a lot of great options down there—including a Katz’s and a BK Jani—but don’t overlook this Ecuadorian spot hidden in the back. Okey serves a concise menu of Ecuadorian classics like ceviche, empanadas, and encebollado with big chunks of flaky fish. If you want your lunch break to feel like a backyard barbecue, you can also get some sticky glazed ribs or a platter of grilled meat. Try the carne asada that comes with sausage, rice, and fries on the side." - Bryan Kim

"Okey Sandwiches and Grill specializes in camarones al ajillo and other Ecuadorian staples like sancocho." - Emma Orlow
