El Caserio Silver Lake

It's a nice little hidden gem my girlfriend found for us. We sat outside and felt it was romantic and tranquil aside from the busy street sounds. Could use a little work outside, but definitely didn't take from the great taste of the food. Service was good and our waitress was very nice. We would definitely be going again. I recommend it if you love flavorful authentic dishes. The fried calamari was a great appetizer, not chewy or tough...it was cooked to perfection. I had a sea soup and I just loved it. My girl had potato gnocchi with a vodka cream sauce that had me wanting to order another dish for myself. All in all it was an awesome experience and very delicious. There is a 3.5% charge if you use card to pay.

Edit: And for those rating low stars for "slow service" -- a reminder that we are in a pandemic and there aren't a lot of cooks and/or servers. Cut them some slack. Especially if you're coming during peak hours (weekends, or dinner). Like, it's understandable. Frustrating? Sure. Show up on a random tues-thurs after 7, then. Previous review: go-to items for myself are always the same three: ceviche de camarones, peto de pollo alla milanese (breaded chicken), and Lomo saltado. However, today I tried the whole fried fish, and I enjoyed it. One of my favorite restaurants.

Great food and presentation. Ecuadorian food that needs to be put on the map. They just need to be better staffed for better service. They forgot to check on our meals and we waited for like 30 minutes til they noticed. Luckily we had an appetizer already. The food was on point. I would love to try more! They have private parking. And they have a nice outdoor patio with heaters. For luncheons and small events the have a 30 people capacity back room. Will be back!

My cousin and I picked this restaurant for my birthday dinner their specialty is Ecuadorian cuisine which I’ve never had before so I was very looking forward to experiencing this. Lots of seafood a lot of tropical flavors outdoor seating was very sweet the drinks were strong which is a plus for your birthday celebration service and definitely the food prices are very fair it’s a great place for a dinner date or hang out with family

What can i say this place freaking D E L I C I O U S! My wife is Colombian and this place brings a fusion all of South American. Happy Wife, Happy Life! Great Quality food! Great Drink selection. We ordered the churrasco and the pasta diabolo (jumbo shrimp with a spicy tomato sauce) During covid times bring a cell to scan for menu! Our waitress Sofi was soo sweet and patient! We'll be back for sure! Worth the drive we took from South Bay to Silverlake.
