About Tradición

The intimate setting creates a quietly engaging backdrop where the scent of traditional spices subtly invites curiosity before any dish arrives. Amid the soft clinks of cutlery and gentle murmur of conversation, a glance at the available Tradición photos online captures what the eyes can soon confirm: an attention to robust Ecuadorian flavors paired with thoughtful presentation. The warmth radiating from the staff complements the space well, reflecting a genuine effort to provide a comfortable experience even during busier hours.

The highlight inevitably turns to the food, where each plate reveals layers of cultural richness without overwhelming the palate. Sampling the seafood-infused offerings alongside hearty, corn-based accompaniments encourages reflection on regional culinary traditions. Through various accounts in customer reviews, it becomes apparent that the menu balances authenticity with accessibility, allowing visitors to explore familiar tastes while discovering less common ingredients. The portion sizes are reasonable, though some may find the pricing slightly above average for local standards, a trade-off weighed by the quality of ingredients and thoughtful execution.

The overall impression of the restaurant extends beyond the immediate visit, shaped by subtle details such as the calm pace at which courses arrive and the unobtrusive nature of service. Such nuances contribute to a relaxed dining rhythm that favors savoring over rushing. While the setting avoids pretension, it could benefit from a bit more diversity in ambiance to appeal to a broader demographic. Considering the variety captured in Tradición restaurant's online content and the mix of opinions regarding its value, it stands as a worthwhile consideration for those seeking a genuine Ecuadorian culinary experience, albeit with measured expectations.

I love going here and it is definitely one of the places I have to go every few months. Food and service are always top notch and you get the same food every time you go. Usually get the chinchulines as they are the best I've had anywhere! Tender and tasty. Tend to get the super lomo as well which is a steal of a deal for how much food you get, but honestly all the food have ever tried has always been very good with great portion sizes. A normal plate is more than enough for 2 and if not get a couple of additions, like the empanadas de morocho! Can't forget the aji either because it is top notch! Sangria is yummy too. Chairs aren't comfortable but if they were people might never leave.

One of my favorite restaurants in Quito. I have been eating at this restaurant since I can remember and the quality and consistency of the products are phenomenal. My favorite item on the menu is the parrillada, please try the menudencias, it doesn't sound that appealing, but you will be surprised.
