El Nuevo Paraiso
El Nuevo Paraiso is a vegetarian fast food chain serving local Ecuadorian staples like rice, lentils, and soups at very affordable prices around $2.50–$3.00. The menu includes daily specials and a la carte dishes, though vegan choices are limited and often require clarification due to dairy and additives in some items. Outdoor seating and cash-only payment are available, and the venues are convenient for quick meals near the city center.
