“ I come to Galapagos specifically to eat their Bolon de Verde Mixto y Pinto. Mixto means it has chicharron and cheese, Pinto means they use a sweeter plantain. It's not traditional, but I love eating it here. With the Bolon, I like to order the encurtido salad with an egg on the side and black coffee. I usually pay about 15 all together. Service was great, they were very fast. They also remodeled and it feels very homey and clean. You'll usually just find other Ecuadorian locals here. ”
