  This is the only South American restaurant that has a hot turkey sandwich on it with all the sides! The roast the turkey onsite every Thursday and we were lucky enough to go Friday and then came back on Saturday. God this is comfort food that makes you feel like you've traveled to North America just by opening their menu. Its a must to eat here. The portions are epic but we cleaned our plates. I hope this place is there when we return to Ecuador! I highly recommend!!

  An expensive restaurant, for Cuenca, it cost all of $10. It's located a few blocks off of Parque Calderon. The food was ok. I got what was recommended by the owner, but it was nothing to write home about. It's run by a very nice Canadian couple, so poutine is on the menu! I didn't order it.

  One of the best restaurants in Cuenca for North American cuisine.
  The food is fabulous and the portions are always enormous!

  I love this restaurant. The food is fresh, healthy and delicious. I was in Cuenca for 6 months and ate their food almost exclusively. I generally stick to a Paleo diet and had plenty of food choices on the menu. When I needed a change to a dish the owners, Dennis and Trish, were more than willing to accommodate my request. The wait staff, Janina and Emelio, are friendly, helpful and sweet. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

  If you want a North American home cooked meal look no further. The portions are huge ( I can't figure out why Dennis isn't 300 lbs), quality excellent, and the entertainment is great. One of our favorite resturants in Cuenca. The turkey dinner on Thursday nights is awesome. Save some room for the homemade ice cream.

  This restaurant has decent food. However, the service is a little on the downside. Once it came time to pay for my meal, the owner gave me my total, significantly higher than what it was supposed to be. I explained to her that she charged me incorrectly and rang me up for a meal that I didn't have. After convincing her to give me the menu and show me what she was charging me for, she rolled her eyes and told me that the meals were so similar that she got confused. Extremely awkward experience.

  This restaurant is fantastic. To start off with, the server that helped me was super sweet. This decor and inside is really nice and comfortable. It is very clean and cleanliness is a high priority for me. The bathrooms were very clean as well. The food is muy delicioso! I absolutely enjoyed eating here.
