Street food in Ecuador is an essential part of the travel experience. But if you\u2019re not sure what\u2019s what, it\u2019s easy to pass by the best local snacks without even realizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide breaks down the most common Ecuadorian street foods so you can try them with confidence, whether you’re wandering a market in the Andes or exploring the Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some items like patacones and fried chicken are familiar. Others, like cevichochos, quimbolitos, and chontacuros are completely unique to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who\u2019s lived in Latin America for the last 10 years (and eaten my fair share of street food), I can tell you Ecuadorian snacks have their own ingenuity that shines through in the flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve put together this list of the foods you\u2019re most likely to encounter (and actually want to try). Whether you\u2019re a curious traveler or a hungry one, this list will help you navigate Ecuador\u2019s streets like a local.<\/p>\n\n\n
