Barzola 2 Restaurante Ecuatoriano

"10 people went early and had an amazing meal! The food was sooo big and delicious. Best chicharron ever. Service was great too. The menu is huge probably take 20 trips to try everthing."

"I went this Saturday and had a fritada. It didn’t look as good, it was very dry. And I grabbed it to go, I got home open and I cut the meat and it was raw inside. If I get sick I’m definitely suing the place"

"Food good (I little bit expensive), but worth it, atmosphere was okay, but poor service, I think the waitress was new, she didn’t had not customer services skills at all, not friendly, not personality (She was from Nicaragua I didn’t catch her name) If it wasn't for the tip being included she wouldn't make any kind of money for being so cold. Not decide if I would go back again."

"BEWARE!! Extremely disappointed. Pork sausage soup is a typical Ecuadorian delicacy. It is supposed to have sausage cut in pieces that are normally larger than the soup spoon in size and in several amounts (pieces). Each plate contained no more than 3 sausages in size of cocktail sausages, the pictures show, how small they were. At first, we didn't realize there where any sausages, despite the several pieces of other ingredients, when I asked the waiter about the lack of sausages while moving the spoon in the soup, these very small size items became visible to which the waiter pointed out to be the sausages. I asked if he was mocking me, he replied he was very serious. I insisted it had to be a joke, because that (holding the cocktail size piece of sausage) could not be the sausage and if it was, why was there only 2 or 3? Instead there were platain sausages and platain pieces overflowing the plate.His reply was "that's how it comes!" The next disappointment was the bill. Not only was it ridiculously expensive but the bill included an 18% gratuity to serve 2 people. It is the first time I ever see a restaurant force patrons to tip and not suggest. Not even in the really expensive restaurants. Gratuity is always voluntary and it is a recognition for service efforts. Stay away from this place if you want to avoid being disappointed with a spoiled meal experience. You will find other Ecuadorian restaurants that respect the heritage of the dish and the patrons."

"Everything is delicious! A bit pricy but worth it if you like Ecuadorian food. Pictures are for the following dishes: Caldo de Bola (peanut, meat, veggie stuffed plantain ball soup) Carne apanada con arroz y lentejas (breaded steak with white rice and lentils) Side order of maduros (sweet plantain) and chifles (crispy plantain chips) Humitas dulce (sweet maize stuffed with cheese) Cazuela de pescado (peanut and plantain dish stuffed with fish in a specialty pot) Barzola desayuno, con bolon de Maduro mixto. (their signature breakfast with sweet plantain ball stuffed with cheese and fresh pork belly and rind (chicharrón) Encebollado de pescado (fish and onion soup usually a hangover cure!) Empanada de verde (plantain empanada stuffed with melted cheese) Drinks were colada (a sweet cinnamon oat drink) and Ecuadorian Pilsner. Coffee not pictured is delicious and strong! Naranjilla or Lulo shake is spot on, citrusy and tart but sweet."
