To eat with locals, in local places called "Huecas", good local food, to pay them straight for the food, it is the best way for me to show you my culture. (VEGETARIANS ARE WELCOME or you can check my vegetarian food experience in Airbnb at the bottom) This is "not one usual food tour", because my main goal is to allow visitors to immerse themselves in Quito´s life and it's local gastronomy. I find the best foodie spots in an awesome, Anthony Bourdain´s style walking tour. In our capital city of Quito, a Hueca stands for a boutique, frequently family-run eatery, which offers quality dishes and beverages, often with the unique twist of a secret family style. It’s a very vibrant part of Quito's culinary stage. I’m extending my heartfelt invitation for you to join us and sincerely hope you will find these special places to be irresistible. They offer a rich history and have fascinating stories to share. So... Ready to be one of us? In my point of view, if you are not clouse to the locals, You didn´t experience one culture... Remember that you have to pay for your food, but it's not even 10 extra dollars for everything.
