Restaurante Ecuatoriano Genesis

Thursday's very substantial special of the day ($8) started with a bowl of kingfish soup with yuca and plantains.

Next up was a plate of fried whiting and plantains with red onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and cilantro, all over lime-juiced white rice. I accompanied them with a cold cup of Quaker (Quack-air; normally $2, but included with the special), a smooth blend of oatmeal, OJ, and a little cinnamon. They'll nuke it, too, if you need a warm-me-up.

Thanks, Ivan! The other location for Ecuatoriano Genesis, at 538 West 207th St. (near Sherman Ave.), has much more seating, though I wouldn't be surprised if weekends were crowded there, too.

Not only did the waitress not check up on us but had the never to serve the people that came after us first. My date found hair in her food and the waitress didnt even apologize. I paid almost 40 dollars for the worst service ever. I took a few bites from my meal and decided I wanted it to go. The waitress didnt even give me my food that I had asked for. The next day I decided to call in and complain about the service and the same waitress had the nerve to present her self as the manager. After the complain was made she explained to me she was the same waitress and that she wasnt the manager. She continued to ask why should she bag food that was already eaten which shows the unprofessional ism in this restaurant. Employees acting like they are the managers when they aren't.

Nerve going there again
