HUGE ECUADORIAN FOOD TOUR in QUITO, ECUADOR (eating with a local)

[Music] Good Morning and welcome back to another Quito video. Today we are doing a street food essential tour with bondabu tours. We're so excited because we're going to get a whole introduction to Ecuadorian cuisine [Music] yes Daniel how are you guys. We have just met up with our tour guide Daniella she's showing us all around Quito today and showing us the best yummy treats to eat let's get started come get a look through our city This place is plaza arenas and it's basically one of the most iconic markets of Old Town. and it was a great way to put all the street vendors in one same place and at the same time allow them to have a place you know and not just be wondering around you're gonna see that we Forge a lot of stuff here but especially kitchens and since we're also on a food tour I feel like it's nice to know where it comes from even the kitchens you know where this is where it starts I feel like it's the Home Depot of Quito this is a very traditional yeah for sure there's like a whole aisle with just tools you can find a little bit of everything here like we're just looking at all the shops and they're just like clothes they're like forging metal there's like typewriters it's definitely an interesting Market there's rain jackets [Music] How friendly was he? So friendly, everyone is so nice here this is frittala so this is the pork wow okay I'm so excited for this so a plate full of yummy things we have the frittata which is the fried pork we've been seeing this corn everywhere it's toasted corn I thought it was a peanut it's not a peanut then we have some vegetables that are soaked in lemon juice and then the potatoes and Daniella told us that there are over 300 types of potatoes here in Ecuador and this is I mean just one of them but that blows my mind that there's over 300 and then I also wanted to talk about the aji too because I love spicy food and I love Ahi but this one is so different than the ones that we just tried in Colombia this one is made with the tree tomato I didn't like the sweet tomato but I love the sauce it's Tommy and I've had it on many of our other dishes that we've had here and this one is delicious so let's dig in so I'm going in for the sorry thing one more time wait pause you know what I think of Fritada I think it's wow that is delicious the pork is so Savory and it's so like it's salty but not overly salted and it's crunchy on the outside and just so soft on the inside this is delicious okay I want to try the toasted corn we had this the other day sprinkled on top of an almuerzo soup but we haven't had it plain yet yeah you can like it's more like a snacks it's so good crunchy salted corn like fresh corn nuts it's delicious so this is the madurdo which is a plantain that's on the sweeter side so in the late stages of being ripe this is pretty typical you get this with the almuersos and typically with the menestra it gives you like this sweet taste inside the dish you know because it can be eating something that's so salty and just having the Maduro there gives your resets to go back to the Salt side yeah absolutely it's a really nice like change of pace like she said the pork is a little bit salty the corn nuts are a little bit salty and then when you have the bite of sweetness and also with the acidic veggies too it's a very balanced plate of flavors love it wow what a great environment that was it was so nice to hear cook it deliver it to us the food was amazing only two dollars per plate unbelievable great start for the food tour I'm ready for the next stop amazing [Music] looks safe right yeah sure imagine trying to find the one that's broken like oh yeah no way that's it yeah they're making potatoes oh look how good those look so interesting to walk down the street and you can find a little shop making homemade potato chips yeah looks delicious looks so yummy I would eat potato chips all day long if I worked there [Music] this is the typical let's try let's try to guess the flavor [Music] okay do you know it already yeah banana it's weird right if you would say to someone let's have a banana soda maybe you because you're a banana lover apparently but I don't even notice the banana until they said banana it just tastes like a refreshing fizzy soda you know we're gonna stop playing these guess the flavor games now next time okay so we have the cevichocho okay this is so many toppings on here we're turning the aji yeah the most interesting thing about this to me is the popcorn like what is the popcorn come into play usually we put it on soups or stuff like that it's kind of like a little thing a topping that you add on it I love that why not okay so essentially this is a vegetarian dish the same Ceviche base that's in that fish just with the church so cheers I love this I love Ceviche and I've tried many different types of YouTube I've never had one like this the chocho is this is such an interesting texture and flavor it's a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be like there's definitely like two to it like there's like a crunch to it almost it is delicious and if you're looking for a good vegetarian option this is it it's amazing so this restaurant is only known for its sippichoches it's pretty amazing behind me you can see the menu so you can add tuna if you want for a dollar or shrimp so affordable our dish we shared with only a dollar fifty such a healthy way to eat wow delicious my uncles are the ones that we usually have but these ones we call it mango de chupada these ones they're made like to suck on them so what you do you kind of like you made them soft oh okay take out kind of like the juice out you know uh-huh it's like a stress ball now you see that it's soft yeah you take out you peel it on top okay wow a little fresh mango juice yeah the only thing is when you're done having it usually like peel it off and have the like the future and you take it but it's so hairy that you always end up with stuff in your teeth that's the only downside oh but it's like but it's so tasty it's like you're making your own juice and then you just suck it out of the hole it's so delicious he was selling seven for one dollar you know wow seven for a dollar [Music] we've been buying all our fruits at the wrong places so a bunch of the locals here sell them right on the street it looks way fresh every bag is only a dollar these would come with five or six different fruits not at the grocery store buy them on the street [Music] I love it [Music] we're having empanadas de viento so where it's called empanadas de viento because so it's kind of like deep fried dough they fill it up with cheese and we eat it with sugar love that ching ching ching yeah so Danielle is all our video where we tried some fruit and saw that I didn't like the tree tomatoes so she's here to change my mind and she's gonna serve it in a juice which everybody said in the comments you need to try in a juice so we're going to try it it's so good [Music] [Music] okay [Music] three new fruits today this is very exciting wow [Music] yes this is my favorite part this is so usually when I do the tours I try not to eat everything because I can be eating everything so I choose my battles but this is about all that I'm never gonna stop wow [Music] I mean does it get better than that you can eat this every day like you can't but just because you can doesn't mean you should wow look at that the wind the wind empanada yeah I mean we've tried a lot of empanadas and Daniella was telling us earlier that you know food is similar across the South American countries but different so this Empanada is definitely different than any other Empanada we've had it's incredible incredibly great deals I think it makes it so good yeah come on so wait wait you're having it without these stupid ingredients this is basically the cream to this is that the sugar yeah oh yeah okay we're gonna change the whole flavor okay we're gonna do it just on the first part so the Empanada with cheese with sugar [Music] game changer you made me too hungry just a couple of girls in their empanadas already had my first bite fried bread is so good and the cheese delicious to see how local it is we're up here in the mountains I just fly some sugar [Music] new juice I'm excited we can't get enough of the juices here in South America oh it's so easy it's very light it's got the little bit of Tang to it oh so refreshing though I love how it's not super cold you can tell it's just freshly squeezed the juices here okay and then the tomato salad that's really good too kind of reminds me of like a similar to the carrot juice it's kind of the texture a little bit sweeter though I think you might actually like this Sammy try it out yeah okay okay so mate de arbo wasn't a huge fan of the fresh fruit but this everyone said I need to try and a juice though yeah yes okay back on the table oh definitely needs to be put into it too it's very earthy it's not like a typical sweet juice but it definitely tastes healthy okay and this one was um okay I was expecting it to be way sweeter it's so mild very fresh you could also these are two drinks you could drink a lot of they're not too sweet this is delicious which one you like better I actually think I'm gonna go with the Tomato because it has a little bit more flavor than this one does it please ever had don't miss a stop delicious [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so this is beautiful beautiful huge and this park was really really known because of one guy who's called michelina and he did a lot of stand-up comedy within the park oh my gosh wait I need to try it I'm not sure that's gonna work very well equipped out towards you stop very uncomfortable wow this would be the worst workout ever they let go and just run on it really it's so slippery there's no way you try it yeah this is elliptical I need some oils pretty legit oh there you have for the arms also yeah okay this has turned into a workout video yeah this is this is legit actually yeah let's see the pro yeah but it's weird stepper yeah I like it [Music] even jewelry so entering this market now it's supposed to be where all the taxi drivers hang out at and since they know the city so well you know the street food is going to be amazing foreign I don't think we've had a local beer yet in Ecuador so I'm pretty excited Ultimo [Music] whoa so this is a very typical dish that we eat in the coast it's called viche I'll explain what it has yeah and this is the national Lager beer that we drink it's one either we have pizza that's actually the name of the brand feels in it or glue and that is stuffed our stomach we call it cuatita but the flavor is amazing and it's made out of it's made with a lot of peanuts this is cow stuffing okay she's convinced me to try some cow stomach so it's cow stomach stewed with potatoes and we're gonna eat it with a little bit of rice I've never ever tried this before is this the stomach no I'm eating them all together so I'll bite of the three together okay wow he was looking at me did you like it no if you didn't like the Juanita if you didn't tell her yeah it's so chewy yeah but maybe now try the just the potato with the sauce because the sauce [Music] okay the stomach's down the sauce is actually really really good with the potato that's really really nice it's the stomach part that gives it the flavor I'm sure but I could do without that texture first local beer in Ecuador with ice oh yeah that's easy that's so good um it's a typical lager it's called cerveza Club classical now we're trying the cow stomach I got a big piece of it so it's a very simple dish called the water delicious stomach kind of tastes like a big piece of fat but great flavor I like it all right I'm very excited about this this looks like a really yummy stew she said there's fish plantain crawfish shrimp all kinds of good stuff so let's dig in try the broth savory seafoody but not fishy it's really good and with fish [Music] we have great symptoms yeah and I'm gonna go in for the Crawfish yeah get down with this kind of soup I think I have it all over my face my hands my arms thank you [Music] so besides just the fish there's shrimp Yucca potatoes wow that fish is so good so I'm not usually a huge seafood fan with stews and this stuff but this is so mild it's delicious just enough Seafood taste but not overpowering that seafood's soup was so delicious it's only 3.95 for that huge Bowl who couldn't finish it sadly we're also stuffed I drink too much of the beer I think filled up on the beer it's always a mistake good now we're getting close to Universidad Central which is one of the biggest public universities of the country and here for example like you're in food or everything we call it so you get like the best prices when you buy more you know yeah so this is kind of like exactly this is the place to be wait this is the Ecuadorian Costco yes exactly okay let's go check it out I love Costco [Music] thank you [Music] okay [Music] so it's okay but of course this size can have around 200 portions okay so you can feed a lot of people [Music] foreign [Music] but this is roasted pork you saw the whole roasted pig and it's topped over smashed potatoes so it's like mashed potatoes but then he grills them until they get crunchy on the outside and it also has some vegetables with like a vinegar sweet and sour sauce and avocado and a little bit of salad so we're gonna have to make rooms in our stomachs this looks amazing I also kind of want to just go in with my hands it looks so delicious like look at this this is just so Savory and tender just like melts in your mouth the flavor is Top Notch and it's so seasoned so well absolutely delicious best pork I've had in a long time the smashed potatoes are to Die For in the sauce
