El Rey del Burrito
‘The King of the Burrito’ serves large burritos, tacos and enchiladas with super spicy salsa (ole! ). There must be a vegetarian in the house, because they have wonderful options for herbivores. Service is friendly and the atmosphere is enlivened by some cool murals.

Mercado La Merced
The ladies hawking hornado (whole roast pig) put on a pretty hard sell, yelling out for your attention and offering samples. If you can stand the pressure and you’re up for dining in a (very sanitary) atmosphere of flayed Wilburs, then the market is fun and interesting. The pork is superfresh. Saturdays are busiest.

El Delirio Restaurant
Named for a poem by the great liberator, Simón Bolívar, and located in his house that is a historical monument, the restaurant serves comida típica (traditional Ecuadorian food) in a dimly lit, antique atmosphere. The hostess of many years is a bit on the eccentric side.

Puro Café
Serving absolutely perfect coffees, cappuccinos and other caffeinated beverages, this narrow café tucked into a side street also has pressed sandwiches and cheese plates. It really is perfect if you’re looking for a place to chill alone or chat with a friend.

Pizzería D’Baggios
Dozens of different kinds of medium-thick-crust pizzas are prepared before your eyes in Baggio’s wood oven. They wouldn’t make an Italian drool, but this corner pizzeria spins out a satisfying pie and the oven keeps the whole place nice and toasty.

Chifa Casa China
Like most Chinese food in Ecuador, it’s a little heavy on the grease, but the lovely Chinese family that runs this chifa (Chinese restaurant) serves large portions with plenty of fresh vegetables and seafood.
