One of the best places for food in Quito is undoubtedly Mercado Central, or the Central Market. It's conveniently located in the historical district, and it's filled with cheap, traditional Ecuadorian food. Get your breakfast or lunch there and you won't be disappointed. I took my time exploring the corners of the market, looking for some interesting dishes. I certainly found some. There's a booth that serves a sort of baked cow fetus stew called "la bille". If that doesn't sound appetizing, how about some cow udder with rice? The very best thing to eat in the Central Market is corvinas, a crispy fried white flesh fish that's flaky and filling. It comes with roasted potatoes, shrimp ceviche, and some toasted corn and popcorn. It's a lot of food, and for only $6. The fish is the best part, of course. Even if you're not really into fish, try this dish. It's almost closer to fried chicken than it is to the fried fish you'd get with fish and chips. Even if you're not hungry, pop into Mercado Central if you're in Quito. It has a great history. It's got a lot of interesting things to look at. And it really is one of the best places to watch people. Grab a fresh fruit drink - I recommend the guanabana with some alfalfa, but there are numerous combinations. The lady I went to was really pushing the naranjilla with alfafa. Muy rico! MORE AMAZING ECUADORIAN FOOD, PLUS THE BEST BURGERS, PIZZA, BEER, COFFEE, & MORE IN MY QUITO FOOD GUIDE!
