11/14 Tonight I went to Leticia Restaurant with my oldest daughter for a little “mommy and me” dinner, and it did not disappoint. We found it on social media, and honestly, it was even more beautiful in person — inside and out. The atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and perfect for a special night. We both ordered the Hornado Cuencano, and it was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed a pitcher of sangria and passion fruit margaritas, and everything was so flavorful. Truly, very very very good! Our server, Nancy, was new, but you would never know it. She was attentive, kind, and made our experience even better. Overall, we loved it, and I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend! 💛🍽️✨ 1/10/26 we went back and I swear it even felt better!!!! Everything made is fresh and full of nostalgic flavor!!!! I cannot wait to come back!

Great ecuadorian food, music of all kind, fun cocktails (and they sell the trinkets included in the cocktails). Visited for my brother birthday (party of 6) and they have a bull (tradition in ecuador) with sparklers. The girls all work together for great service.

Few places seem to manage to do what Leticia’s resturant has mastered. Appealing to the generation that brought these dishes to the US, the generation that grew up with them and appealing to a younger generation looking for new cuisines. The dishes our table tried were: chaulafan, bandera, hornado Cuencano, mini bolones, and my dish - tripa mishqui. While I can’t say that I personally liked all the dishes (the ceviche soup base felt a bit off, but typical for that tomato based execution, and my personal preference is a stronger shrimp based soup). I really felt every single dish was prepared and cooked with great attention to detail. You could taste and experience the intentional choices/combinations made with each dish. Overall, my family and I really enjoyed the food. And probably the best Ecuadorian food I’ve had at a resturant.

I’ve been here a couple times and food is always good and fresh. Encebollado, Guatita, Hornado are good options and don’t miss the Bandera shareable with amazing taste.

Loved the food loved the people! Every single person that works there was so friendly and happy to help with anything we needed. They know how food can make you nostalgic and bring back so many memories. They make that experience even more special. It felt like home. Daniela was amazing you can tell she loves what she does. I got to chat a bit with the owner and even though they were super busy that night he took the time to chat with me and share about his recent trip to Ecuador and how he learned new recipes while he was out there. I love that he is always looking to innovate his restaurant. Everyone should go, you won’t regret it. Order the mini bolones, they are to die for!

Update July 2025: can’t stop coming here. LOVE this place. The chicharrón ceviche, tripa mishqui and camarones al ajillo were all espectacular!!! Keeps getting better and I’m so happy to see my home flavors. Lucia and the same waitress from Guayaquil are so kind and nice. Can’t wait to be back. June 2024: What a great experience! Really felt at home. Food is delicious and service was great. Special kuddos to our server who was from Guayaquil and had come a year ago. She was super nice and friendly. We got mote sucio with habas, 3 cerditos and the fritada. The fritada was so big but everything was delicious. Couldn’t have been happier about my decision of coming to this great place. They have so many options too. Keep up the great work!

A very aesthetic place, feels very comfortable, and vibes overall is super cute. For a 5'3 person, the plate size is very filling, and delicious. Reminds me of home.! I will say that the prices seems reasonable for the meals, but the appetizers are quite pricey than what I prefer given the size of the plates BUT I can forgive. Lol I spent $88 in total including tips for two people. Overall will come back again. See you soon!

I recently dined at Leticia’s Restaurant in Corona, Queens, and it was a great experience from start to finish. This neighborhood spot has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. It’s the kind of place where you can tell the food is made with care and pride. I ordered the churrasco, and it did not disappoint. The steak was cooked perfectly—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It was well-seasoned and grilled just right, with soft and flavorful on the inside. The portion size was generous, and everything on the plate complemented the steak really well. The service was also excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. They were welcoming and checked in at the right times, which made the dining experience even better. Overall, Leticia’s Restaurant is a solid choice if you’re in Corona and craving a satisfying, well-prepared meal. Between the delicious churrasco and the attentive service, I would definitely come back again.

✨ Some of the best and most authentic Ecuadorian food I’ve ever had! The flavors at Leticia in Queens are like fireworks in your mouth—bold, vibrant, and true to Ecuadorian tradition. We tried a mango margarita and a mojito (mocktails) to start, then shared the ceviche de chicharrón and the La Jama dish. Both were amazing! The pickled onions and corn nuts, staples in Ecuadorian cuisine, gave everything that extra authentic touch. The ambiance was warm and soulful with great music, and the service was perfecto—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Ecuadorian food in NYC. 🌟
