El Copihue Rojo

Between Maldonado and Tarqui Cuisines: American

About

This is my favorite restaurant in Latacunga. Steaks, chicken, and fish are grilled over wood coals. They also serve up a range of pastas and some local Ecuadorean fare such as fresh Andean trout simply sautéed with garlic. The dining room is large and sometimes crowded, especially on weekends. This is a great place to come for the filling menú ejecutivo lunch special ($2.50-$3/£1.65-£2).
