Incredible meal on our last night in Ecuador. We met a local from Quito while backpacking who told us this was the best restaurant in Quito and he was not wrong. Pork churos, lamb, short rib, cocktails, desserts, all incredible!

I repeated the experience in Ikaro for the second time, it was sublime. The food surprises you with the combination of flavors and textures and the fusion between 🇪🇨 and 🇪🇸 I felt that the service lowered the level a bit in relation to the previous year.

Kriollo by Ikaro is a great place to try elevated local cuisine. However, the price is a little steep even for what it is. The service was good but it could have been better. I’ve been to restaurants with similar concept and styles and I felt that service quality was lacking a bit here. They could have done a better job explaining the dishes and the local ingredients that comprise the dish.  I personally feel that the explanation and the story behind the local ingredients adds an extra detail and depth to the whole experience. The server, though nice and attentive, didn’t take the time to explain what makes the dishes different from its counterparts that are priced much more economically. If I’m paying $6 for two empanadas the size of my thumb… you have to justify what makes it worth spending that much money.

The food is delicious, there is no denying that. But you probably will get more bang for your buck choosing the tasting menu because the a la carte option really does add up really quickly. This place is definitely more for celebrations of if you are a foodie that enjoys trying elevated dishes.

Cocktail was tasty but not sure if it was worth $12. You can choose to skip that. What I could not skip is the dessert! The brioche tres leches is scrumptious and a true treat! I also highly recommend the fish from Galápagos. The more com chicharrón is tasty as it also has some nice gnocchis but honestly speaking I prefer the “street” version. The flavors are stronger and it’s more satisfying.

All in all Kriollo by Ikaro is nice. Come and enjoy a night out with your significant other or your family but remember that portions are very small so don’t come hungry.

The food was exceptional. Yet, the team still needs someone to keep after them. We requested the bill and had to wait over 15 min to get it. Clearly, they had forgotten about us.
