Loja Ecuador Food: 10 Awesome Things to Eat!

Loja Ecuador has some of the best food in the country - La Comida Lojana. There are some dishes like chaunfaina, cecina and the Lojano Tamal that you'll want to travel for. Loja is the last city in Ecuador before the Peruvian border. This is considered the cultural capital of Ecuador. It's famous for its musicians and artists and it was also the first Green City in Ecuador with a very aggressive recycling program. It's a beautiful city, colonial style similar to Cuenca but it's smaller. And also I'm here to check out the Comida Lojana. So Loja has some specific dishes here that are really good. Number one, I'm here for the coffee. The tamal Lojano is a bit different here. So traditional Ecuador food uses a tamal made with maiz sabroso which is a corn starch based flour. But the tamal Lojano uses a different dough so it's actually just ground corn. So similar to humitas but in that case it's actually the sweet corn called choclo. At the Tamal Lojano they have three different kinds of tamales. You can get chicken, pork, or also quesillo, which is a fresh cheese. Mercato Central Commercial in Loja and there were so many things that I want to eat here. I came to this one spot Comedor 413 because it had so many people here. I came for chaunfaina and then also a bit of the cecina. Chaunfaina is rice that's cooked with a sofrito, but the most important thing is they actually use offal. All of the innards of the pig that would normally be thrown out. And this is a side dish that you'll get, I got it with cecina. Ecuadorian horchata is a drink that's made with different herbs, often some kind of pink flower petal to give it its color. You can drink it in the market even though you can't drink water here because it is boiled. So I do feel comfortable drinking that. It almost tastes like a pink lemonade here. I came to Loja to eat two different soups both called repe, which means unripe banana. So in Loja they have the smallish banana that you can eat ripe. And that's how the rest of the country eats it. Or in Loja they also eat it unripe. Which is very unusual for other Ecuadorians because the unripe banana they might feed their livestock. So these two different soups are interesting because the repe con arveja con guineo is like a kind of like a split pea soup and then it also has cubes of this unripe banana that is uncooked. So this is raw unripe banana in this repe. Another Ecuadorian soup: repe blanco, boiled green banana, pound it into a mash, mixed with potato and quesillo. There's an Ecuadoran custom that if you go to Loja, you must stop off for some sweets or dulces in the market. Traditional sweets from Loja are rustic, they're made with sugar cane, molasses, simple ingredients. Some traditional options are bocadillo, so it's a square of molasses made with peanuts. It's the signature sweet of Loja. You can also get peanuts covered with sugar, fig in syrup. You can also get roscon. I think the best thing to do actually is just to get the mixed bag because then you're bound like one of them. When traveling in Loja if you can't get everywhere in the province head to Somos Loja off the main square, which is a cooperative artisanal shop that also has an incredible coffee shop in Ecuador selling 19 types of coffee from Loja. And you can try 10 of the coffees from Loja for $1/cup. Emporio Lojana is such a great spot with coffee, food, artisanal beer, but also the coolest thing is the signature drink trino, which means something that will make you sing. It means tweet. // MORE ABOUT ECUADOR// You can find all of my best tips at https://www.baconismagic.ca/Ecuador Need an English speaking guide in Ecuador?
