A perfect combination between Hidden restaurants and Street food places. 1 stop: (APPETIZER): * Bolones or Humitas or Quimbolitos 2nd Stop: (MAIN DISH): * A very traditional dish from the Coast region. 3rd Stop: (DESSERT): * The best ice cream you can imagine made of dark chocolate and passion fruit. 4th Stop: (DRINK): * Quito's typical hot cocktail with a great view. 5th Stop: (YAPA / Kichwa word for bonus): We will make an stop by a traditional PARK full of street food options to eat empanadas. You can stay at the end of this tour in this street food park if interested on trying more food if you still had space on your stomach. Haha. Our experience let you have a closeup view of our delicious culinary.
