Cotoa is not just an Ecuadorian restaurant — it’s a joyful tribute to plantains in every possible form. Sweet, crunchy, salty, grilled, fried… here, the plantain is king and the vibe is tropical with personality.
✨ The Moment We Fell in Love
When they proved that palo santo works better in butter than it does cleansing bad juju from your apartment. That’s when we knew — this place cooks with soul.
🍽️ The Perfect Thursday Lunch for Two
Start with:
-
Seasonal drink of the day
-
Cassava muchines
-
Crudo salsero (or ceviche de camarones if you’re in a shrimp mood)
For the mains:
-
Cangrejada con patacón
-
Grilled langostinos
To finish:
-
Banana rum cake — the plantain deserves a finale.
❤️ Why Foodies Love It
Cotoa feels like Miami with an Ecuadorian passport — bold spice, coastal comfort, tropical color, and roots that taste like home.
