South American restaurants in Loja

  1. Salon Lolita

    North of downtown, this is the place for traditional food from Loja. The cecina (salty fried pork served with yuca) is classic, and roasted cuy (guinea pig) comes in $8, $10 or $12 sizes.

  2. El Tamal Lojano

    The almuerzos (set lunches) are good, but the real reason to come is for the delicious quimbolitos, humitas, empanadas de verde and tamales lojanos. Try them all!

  3. Mar y Cuba

    Despite its name, this local chain serves excellent Ecuadorian seafood and superclean Peruvian ceviche, which unlike most ceviche, is actually raw (kind of like South American sushi).

  4. Casa Sol

    The definition of a pleasant café, Casa Sol serves drinks and all the traditional snacks at balcony tables overlooking a little park and river. It’s best in the evening, but if you go early, peek into the kitchen to see the whole family cooking up a storm.
