Super tasty, not expensive and good experience overall! Karaoke night was a bit intense in terms of sound volume but great ambiance!
A lovely little place tucked under one of the arches. Lots of customers inside speaking Spanish so that was a good sign already. The food was SO GOOD and generous sized portions, and the decor and music added a great vibe.
Amazing seafood cooking from Ecuador. Good price too! This place i highly recommend it!
Hidden away under a railway arch in Elephant and Castle you will find a little bit of Ecuador in the shape of Costa Azul. This cafe/bistro serves typical Ecuadorian food such as cerviche, churasco platters and loads of fresh seafood dishes. I plumbed for the chicaron de calamar to start which was fresh and tasty.For my main I had the parihuela soup which is stuffed full of fresh prawns, squid, mussels and cassava in a spicy fish broth.Never tried Ecuadorian food before but would definitely come back to try more. Generous portions, reasonable prices and a lovely South American vibe.
Food is so delicious and good-value. We have visited many times and eat in £ delivery are of the same great quality. Would highly recommend!!
Tasty Ecuadorian food!
We had 'bandera', 'ceviche' and 'encebollado'.
The last one was incredibly good!
Portions are good for the price given.
Unfortunately service is not the best, there is lots of room to improve in that area as we were not shown a decent customer service.
The good news for them is that food was so good that I'd be happy to come back.
Last but not least, music was so loud that we had to be almost shouting to hear each other. I must say that it good Friday 10pm and I guess that everyone was in a party mood but us two.
Anyway, whoever has been making encebollado and ceviche should be congratulated. Good work on those two!

Absolutely amazing experience, the food was incredible, the portions were jaw dropping, the staff were extremely friendly and I almost fell in love with the flavours and tastes of the dishes. Everything was throughly cooked and presented at a flawless level. I would without a doubt recommend anyone to visit and try out this superb cuisine, especially if you are interested in exploring Ecuadorian food.
