"Service was awful. The entire staff seemed like they couldn't rush you out fast enough in order to get the next Mother's Day family in n out. And also they recommended the "best dish" on the menu which was a generic steak and fries. Tasted like it was from Denny's."

"El Caserio is one of my favorite places. It's not too crowded. The food is great. The noise level is moderate so you can actually have a decent conversation with your party without having to compete with the next booth or table."

"The food was good, but the service was scattered. The waitress and our servers looked like they were in space. When we arrived the waitress mumbled something which I could not understand meant this other person will sit you down. This was my second time there and it was okay..."

"My date and I waited 2 1/2 hours to be seated with reservations and then we were forgotten about once we got to our table ( not even a glass of water). It's a very nice looking restaurant , but unfortunately their service is very subpar. I understand it was valentine's day and I hope their service isn't that bad on a regular day. Pretty bummed since I was really excited to try this spot out, but luckily there was a Mongolian BBQ spot off Sunset that saved our night ."

"The DineLA menu was full of Ecuadoran comfort food. The hominy both in and out of shell was delicious. The potato salad was exotic and savory, and the pork and goat - yes, goat - was tender and delicious. This is a kind of food I hadn't tried, and I would definitely recommend it. Hearty, potato and meat-based dishes with a bit of spice, and some aromatic marinades were menu highlights. You'll find here a warm woody ambiance, as if you'd been transported to Ecuador."
