  2. El Alamo Chalet

    Easily identified by its chalet-style wooden facade, El Alamo serves good, diner-style food: meat and chicken dishes, llapingachos (fried potato and cheese pancakes), a hearty desayuno montubiano (a Manabi-province breakfast of fish, eggs, beans and fried plantains) and more basic morning dishes.

  3. Mercado Central

    The second floor of Ambato’s indoor market has particularly good llapingachos (fried potato and cheese pancakes). Old ladies serve them with eggs, avocado slices and sausage (veggies can get it without the meat) for $1.50. The younger gals nearby blend superfresh juices made with bottled water ($1).

  4. Parrilladas El Gaucho

    This Argentinean-style parrillada (grill) is popular with families because they bring a mountain of juicy, sizzling steaks, chicken or meat combos right to a tabletop grill.

  5. Chifa Nueva Hong Kong

    Hong Kong comes to Ambato with fried rice, tallerines (noodles) and agridulce (sweet and sour) dishes. The little egg rolls are yummy.

  6. Pizzería Fornace

    With a wood-fired brick oven, thin crusts and fresh ingredients, this is easily the best pizza in town. Locals enjoy the cuts of meat here as well.
