La Morena is incredible! The sancocho was rich, flavourful, and authentically comforting — hands down one of the best I’ve had. Every ingredient tasted fresh and perfectly balanced. The service was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere made our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend La Morena for anyone craving delicious, authentic Ecuadorian cuisine

My wife came in for empanadas and holiday bread but they were sold out. The owner and his staff were very accommodating in ensuring my wife gets the bread she came down for. We really appreciate the effort from this team and would recommend this place!

Meaty empanadas with a well-seasoned fillings and a crispy shell. They also offer proper dishes, but might be difficult to enjoy fresh since the interior is tiny with paltry seating. Service is friendly, and there is a $10 credit card transaction minimum.

Start off by saying the food here is delish! Buttt their quality and sizing isn’t like it use to be! I mentioned it to the gentleman that’s always on cash, super nice and friendly…but saying that the quality and size of Empanadas went down since you got a new cook, doesn’t really cut it. There should be a standard, probably QA them before even putting them out…and surely you’ve noticed that your still charging 6 bucks for what is now a 2 bite empanada. To be fair I still bought 2 cheese empanadas cause I didn’t take 2 buses for nothing….but making me wait 8 minutes for fresh ones, and then bagging the ones on display while you thought I wasn’t looking…not cool!

Amazing Ecuadorian food in a great little spot on st clair. Small indoor seating area which makes for a great atmosphere, and delicious food. Tried a few empanadas (each of which were amazing) and a fritada platter which was amazing. Do not miss this place!

As an Ecuadorian, I believe improvements to stock availability are necessary. I recommend implementing an online platform to inform customers that popular dishes such as Fritada, Encebollado, and Corviche are only available on peak days, excluding Monday through Thursday. My recent trip from Barrie, only to find these dishes unavailable, was quite frustrating.

Best Ecuadorian food in town! Friendly owners that care about their products. I found this place by accident and glad I did! Ask for their weekend speciality foods and off menu items. But there regular dishes and empanadas true to Ecuadorian taste...just like my mom made!!! I will make this a place i visit everytime I am in town!

    Hi Alexandra thanks for your review and your suggestions. We recommend calling ahead to see what’s in stock and what’s available as our menu is small and things sell out quickly. Sorry to disappoint and ojalá you can give us another chance.
